This unique online training programme is designed for those who have decided to pursue a directing career, as well as for all directors, theatre educators, actors and playwrights with professional experience, who wish to enhance their practical skills. It is aimed at those who want to learn important secrets of the profession.

Directors acquire essential knowledge how to develop and implement ideas for a performance, actors how to stage their roles, and theatre teachers how to use the art of directing in their pedagogical work. Here, directing is conveyed in its comprehensive meaning – as a world view, as an art, as a craft and as a tool.

The School of Directing is a 4-month intensive programme in three stages, with three modules. In between, participants receive extensive assignments so that they can develop the expertise they have gained into their own methodology. In this programme, Jurij Alschitz will begin to apply the quantum theatre pedagogy he has developed, which is based on both impulses and a holistic theatre concept.

You will go through all the stages of creating a play: from the director’s independent work in preparing the image of the play, its idea, theme, style, etc., work on the text of the play, the laws of stage analysis of the text, the rules of selecting actors, rehearsal methods, etc. You will be given all the basics of the art of directing, which you will then have to develop further on your own. This is a life’s work.

In other words, the course gives you a solid fundament for your independent journey into directing.
