Jyoti Dogra is conducting a workshop, sharing theatre techniques and processes she has been working with for the past few years that have deepened and changed her understanding of what the work of the actor involves and the creative act at large.
The workshop will explore techniques that encourage you to create an inner dialogue with your self, opening up intuitive ways of reacting and receiving, moving away from learnt/taught ways of emoting and acting.
While the approach of the work is physical in nature, the focus of the work is not body movement or flexibility. The focus lies in each participant accessing his or her individual inner resource which opens the self to a flow of images and associations which keep appearing, disappearing and changing. Our response and shaping of these lost memories, images and forgotten moments will become the material for each individual participant to create their own performance work.
Jyoti Dogra is a Mumbai-based actor who has been working in film, television and theatre. In the past few years her theatre practice has moved increasingly towards making devised pieces which are not script-based, but use the self as a starting point. Jyoti has been training and working with techniques and acting processes which originally belong in the tradition of Grotowski''s Laboratory Theatre. Khalid Tyabji and Jola Cynkutis have been guiding her through work sessions, in interpreting, applying and understanding these techniques and processes.
She has recently been awarded a research residency grant by Prohelvetia to continue her research on voice and sound in Zurich. In 2011, Jyoti collaborated with Berlin-based video artist Bernd Luetzeler on a multimedia theatre piece called "K0" (K to the power of zero) based on Kafka’s writings. Between 2007-2010, she devised, directed and performed a solo performance piece called “The Doorway”. The work was a result of working with techniques and acting tools inspired in the Grotowski tradition, and was performed across India. The work received much critical acclaim. She has worked as an actor-teacher with the National School of Drama’s Theatre In Education Company. Some of the eminent theatre directors she has worked with are B. Prassanna, B.V. Karanth, Maya Rao, Barry John, Kanhai Lal, and Rehaan Engineer.
