ABOUT THE METHOD
The ©In-Balance Method is a method Mariana created throughout her work as a
theatre-mask-puppet master as an actor, writer, director, and pedagogue and
she is considered an expert in her field. Currently taught by Mariana in
drama schools all over the world, the Method is based on her 30-plus years
of experience in theatre and pedagogy.
ABOUT THE CLASS
The focal points of the ©In-Balance Method are:
-Transmission of knowledge
-Service on stage
-Balance of power
-Collective experience of movement, choreography and creativity
The In-Balance Method is thus aimed at finding balance within the theatre
space, the stage, the performers, the group and the audience. At its core,
this method invokes an equal amount of power distribution on stage. The
story and its leading characters are brought to life by the ‘servants of the
stage’, through mask and puppet configurations. Mariana Araoz has created
this storytelling form and named it: THE FLYING BIRDS.
The group in the master class will create a masked character collectively, connected to
movement and nature.
The 3-hour class will cover:
- the In-Balance Method
- Flying Birds storytelling -tragedia/comedia
- the birth of a masked character
For attendees, please:
* be prepared to move around in the room
* wear comfortable clothes you can move in physically
* come dressed all in black
* bring a water bottle.
