The three main foundation of Pantheatre are :
Pantheatre's training leads to TWO CERTIFICATIONS
Pantheatre's Artistic Certification & The Roy Hart Teacher Certification
Voice Performance | Choreographic Theatre
Voice performance training involves a dynamic blend of technical finesse and expressive risk. It also seeks the affirmation of personal genius - character and musicality - and a commitment to the relevance of what one has to voice, be it in speech, song, scream, silence, image or movement - or their synthesis in choreographic theatre.
Training is mostly of the mentor type (consistent apprenticeship and feedback) by the directors with a large circle of collaborating artists and teachers, and in coordination with the Roy Hart Centre (Southern France) for the awarding of the Roy Hart Teacher certification.
As far as Pantheatre is concerned, the aim is for each artist and teacher to take the work and make it his or her own.

Pantheatre is based in Paris (October to March) and at Château de Malérargues, in Southern France, the Roy Hart International Artistic Centre (April to September) with residential projects and the Myth and Theatre Festival.
The training program is full-time only during the full-time intensive workshops. Outside these periods INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS are set up with weekly classes and seminars (as well as supervision sessions) and/or rehearsals, in Paris and/or in RESIDENCIES at Malérargues, the Roy Hart Centre (Southern France). The planning depends on each participants agenda, time and budget, and on the directors planning which includes projects abroad.
Enrique Pardo and Linda Wise, with other artistic collaborators (actors, musicians and directors) have directed or overseen a series of performances devised within the training programs. Usually the artists-participants take the 'Grand Stage' in Paris (4 to 6 weeks full time) followed by a period of definition of their performance project, and rehearsals in Paris and/or Malerargues with residential periods in April, May and June leading to first performances during the Myth and Theatre Festival, and later with performances in Paris.

In Memoriam. Important figures who have marked the evolution of Pantheatre
Pantheatre was founded by Enrique Pardo with a solo performance on the God Pan, following several years of voice and movement research with a circle of actors from the original Roy Hart Theatre company - amongst them, Liza Mayer, Linda Wise, Vicente Fuentes, Saule Ryan, Kevin Crawford, Diana Palmer, Noah Pikes, Kozana Lucca, most of whom were involved in early Pantheatre productions like "Poesis" (after Wallace Stevens), and "Demeter" (both 1985).
PANTHEATRE is a French Association (Non Profit 1901 Law)
