Corporeal Poetry

<p style="font-family: impact;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A note on TheatreRUN by Artistic Director Adam Paolozza</span><br></p><p style="font-family: impact;">TheatreRUN was founded in 2003 by myself and a group of five graduates of the École Jacques Lecoq in Paris. We created original, devised work and toured extensively in the USA and Edinburgh. Since 2005, I have established&nbsp; TheatreRUN Canada in Toronto as a vehicle to create and produce my own, original work.</p> <p style="font-family: impact;">The company is driven by artistic values, such as craftsmanship, formal innovation, and ongoing research and development into traditional and experimental theatrical forms.</p> <p style="font-family: impact;">I place a strong emphasis on teaching as a way to pass on the craft as well and to continually explore innovation in training techniques.</p> <p style="font-family: impact;">I place an enormous value in working in a collaborative process.</p> <p style="font-family: impact;">I think the most important thing about theatre is that it happens live, in real time, in a real space with a group of people who come together to share an experience. Whatever happens during this experience is the true meaning of theatre – it lies beyond words and rational explanations.</p> <p style="font-family: impact;">I work in both French and English. I create work from:</p> <ul style="font-family: impact;"><li>existing theatrical texts</li><li>adapting literature and other non-theatrical texts, such as poetry and letters</li><li>devised, original ideas</li></ul> <p style="font-family: impact;">My work is heavily influenced by Mime and is preoccupied with the way the human body expresses itself through movement, gesture and rhythm. One of the recurring themes in my work is the beautiful vulnerability of the human condition and our precarious place in history. I like to think that my work, even when it faces the dark side of our nature, still celebrates the joy of being alive and human.</p>
