The work on handicrafts is part of the work of the actor, in order to create, use imagination and fantasy, to know more about himself , to understand TRUE ACTIONS and in which moment of life he is. Through this kind of work the actor should start to really understand what does it mean physical actions and how to be here and now as well as when he is doing performance or training. I understand that whatever the actor needs for the performance he should do it himself and not buy it. It is possible to work with leather, wood or others elements, the most important is to be able to create. Performance and handicrafts are connected since the process that an actor lives when doing a handicraft work is very similar to the process that he lives when he prepares performance, in the beginning I always start from an idea or inspiration and it looks that it will not happen, and then with the time I see that things starts to take shape till the moment that it is ready. Min Tanaka, the butoh dancer that develops his BODY WEATHER worksession in Japan use the work in the field and the work in ancient handicrafts as part of the worksession, Odin Teatret actors used to do their own clothes for performances.
