MATERIALS
The materials used in the workshop are an integral part of the artistic journey of the company, currently at work in a new performance process. During the workshop we will work on songs from the Corsican polyphonic tradition. The workshops organised by Jubilo are an opportunity to meet performers and people interested in the company’s work, with the aim of broadening the fruition of the work and involving new people in the creative process.
About
CHORÓS is an opportunity to encounter the artistic work and pedagogy of Jubilo Foundation through an intensive workshop session. The workshop explores the Chorus as the core element of Greek tragedy, approached as a living unity of text, action, and music. Participants will work on the relationship between the individual voice and the collective body, discovering how personal expression can exist within a shared form.
Through practical exercises, the workshop investigates chorality—the unified voice of the group—and polyphony, where multiple individual voices interact and coexist. Vocal work is inspired by traditional practices, including sacred polyphonies from Corsica, and is applied to both singing and spoken text.
A strong emphasis is placed on deep listening, presence, and responsiveness, enabling harmony, collective resonance, and a heightened sense of ensemble.
CHORÓS is open to performers, singers, actors, and anyone interested in voice, chorus, and collective creation.

Jubilo Foundation – Jubilo is a theatre company founded in 2011 in Wrocław, driven by the need for artistic intervention as a protest against cultural exclusion. Jubilo aims to extinguish social, economic, linguistic and cultural barriers through artistic encounters in which the platform of exchange is the language of theatre and music. Jubilo collaborates with many arts and theatre organisations internationally, including the Grotowski Institute of which it has been a permanent collaborating company since 2013. For many years, the company has been conducting, in collaboration with the Grotowski Institute, the “Unlocking” project for inmates in the closed and semi-open departments of the prisons in Wroclaw and Swidnica (PL). In collaboration with the Grotowski Institute in Wroclaw, Jubilo developed a theatrical research and training program for performers and actors, the main focus of which is the development of theatrical training techniques in the context of physical and ensemble practices. The company’s approach is rooted in research theatre and theatrical process based work, with a specific interest in body-voice, psycho-physical actor training and personal expression.
