More Information

The common starting point of the day is our Joint Training:
In the rehearsal room, in the open air, in the park or in the forest; the training is the decisive introduction to every topic, here we open up our system with all our senses. For the actors, the exercises serve as a basis for the practical research that follows. Directors and teachers can experience “training as a method” for themselves and get the necessary tools for their own teaching and rehearsal practice.
The Course for Actors will focus on the energy of words – a little-explored area and an underestimated tool in acting practice. The energy of words feeds on the energy of thoughts and ideas; it is the result of the energy of acting, which arises from the energy of the actor.
You will learn about new techniques to open text and meaning through the energy of words. This will be your fundament for the common work with directors.
The course for directors and teachers will explore the possibilities of energy sources in stage situations and atmospheres. How do I open and work with the energy of the scene? You will learn valuable methods and techniques for the director’s self-preparation.
Accompanied research in the ‘Art Picnic’ laboratory for both groups.
