The Blue Door Workshops at the Tarbes Association House
The end of the year is fast approaching, and with it, the groups of apprentice actors from the Ateliers de La Porte Bleue are ready to show us their work. Interview with Marie-Anne Gorbatchevsky, who directs the workshops.
Ateliers de la Porte Bleue
What will we see at the MDA?
We're presenting the MDA's evening events. It starts Wednesday evening with Corinne Marsollier's adult group performing a play written by one of the workshop members, Nathalie Iriart, and three plays by René de Obaldia: *Du vent dans les branches de sassafras*, *Grasse matinée*, and *A bâtons rompus*.
And you continue until Sunday!
There are five evenings featuring The Delicate Prince, an inverted version of Snow White presented by Militza Gorbatchevsky's group, Jacques Prévert's short plays by the Orchidée-Maborée workshop, adults from the Lannemezan day hospital, The Little Model Girls by the Countess of Ségur, and two adaptations by Suzie Morgensen: Love Letters from Ages 0 to 10 and The First Time I Turned 16 with the conservatory's jazz class.
How do you work with these young and not-so-young actors?
I don't start with the text. We begin by understanding the story, seeing how it can be adapted theatrically through improvisation, and only then do we select the text. This means not really knowing where we're going until February. After that, things fall into place.
