Jean-Jacques Lemêtre, prominent musician, composer and collaborator of Ariane Mnouchkine’s Théâtre du Soleil, Ichinosuke Umekawa, Japanese dance master and Kamila Klamut, director, co-founder of ZAR Theatre and collaborator of the Grotowski Institute are among the artists who will lead practical workshops at this year’s Epidaurus Lyceum.
Since 1979, Jean-Jacques Lemêtre has been the composer for France’s internationally celebrated Théâtre du Soleil, collaborating with director Ariane Mnouchkine. He was academically trained at the Conservatoire de Paris. Lemêtre’s music has been performed around the world, from the Arctic circle, to Brazil, to Canada and most recently to Afghanistan.
Kamila Klamut began her collaboration with the Grotowski Institute in Wrocław since the mid 90s. She co-founded the Song of the Goat theatre group and Teatr ZAR, as well as participating as a performer and director in numerous theatre productions and as a teacher, recently, in the experiential research programme entitled Body Constitution.
Ichinosuke Umekawa, a dancer with an extensive experience as a member of the Tokyo Ballet Company, trained as a Kabuki theatre actor alongside some of the greatest teachers of this form of theatre and developed a unique style through a series of innovative performances bridging classical and contemporary music with elements of the traditional Japanese dance.
