NEW ORLEANS 2001
The 9th Myth and Theatre Festival
"On Jealousy"
July 25 to 29, 2001 at Le Petit Théâtre du Vieux Carré with
theatre/dance/voice & mythology 10-day workshops starting July 20 at Loyola
University & Tulane University (Department of Theatre and Dance).
The 9th Myth and Theatre Festival will host lectures, master classes,
discussions and a choice of workshops on theatre, dance, voice, mythology,
archetypal psychology, in collaboration with Tulane and Loyola Universities.
The Myth and Theatre Festival was created in France in the early 80s, when
members of the Paris-based Pantheatre--the organizing company who is at the
cutting edge of both physical theatre research and archetypal studies,
elaborating a unique and inspiring blend of the two-- and of the legendary
Roy Hart Theatre (the 70s avant-garde voice theatre) got together with
world renowned psychologist James Hillman, his friends and colleagues. The
outcome was a series of extraordinary gatherings with themes such as The
Greed of Dionysos, Alchemy, Aphrodite, Magic, The Enemy.
The theme for the second New Orleans gathering (the first was in 1999)
is... JEALOUSY "whose power brushes aside the best laid plans of men and
gods, and whose subterfuges coil their way through many of tragedy's
intrigues and comedy's greatest (and sometimes nastiest) laughs..."
(Enrique Pardo, Festival director).
The Myth & Theatre Festival prides itself on being "a dance of ideas" by
encouraging cross-disciplinary participation, mixing actors, dancers and
singers with non-performers, offering an exceptionally inspiring context for
dialogue between the arts and ideas, theory and practice.
