// THE POETRY BENEATH ABSURDITY

performance workshops

// from the outside in

// osmotic character development

// ridicule and transformation

// unleashing creative peculiarity

Suitable for professional and student performers from all disciplines.

In his workshops, Euripides combines performative tools arising from his research into ridicule and transformation with his extensive background in physical theatre, contemporary dance, and ancient Greek drama (both tragic and comic).

Taking the grotesque and all that is external as his point of departure, he works from the outside in through the use of wigs.

Firmly focused on the unique artistic texture of each individual participant, Euripides guides the imagination towards the poetry beneath absurdity as a new way of unleashing creative peculiarity in all its potential.
