The workshop will present the methodology of work of devising short scenes of physical and dance theatre based on the theme of bullying. We will explore the possibilities of the body, that does not have to be trained in order to be able to express itself through movement and dance. Any movement can become an action used in theatre, any action can become dance. The workshop will dedicate itself to the search of the devised theatre material-scenes, based on the personal work with objects-props. This material can be transformed into educational-artistic work with children and young people connected to the deconstruction of the phenomenon of bullying . A workshop for teachers and creative drama pedagogues to learn techniques of dance, movement, physical theatre  and choreography, applicable for all ages, for actors and directors interested in principles of dance and non verbal theatre, for dancers and choreographers interested in contemporary theatre techniques. Workshop requirements: training clothes applicable for physical movement-dance, clean sneakers or non slip socks and a big shawl or towel for lying on the floor.
