Lab
Practice
Mikheil Charkviani leads workshops in documentary theatre, developing a practice that works with lived experience as material.
Participants do not begin with characters or predefined texts. They work with their own environment, memory, and perception.
The process focuses on structure rather than narration, emphasizing editing, composition, and construction.
His training includes physical work based on biomechanics, using the body as a tool for precision and expression.
Fragments from everyday life are translated into performative forms, avoiding confession in favor of form.
