Dear friends and colleagues,

I hope you have had a good start to the year – perhaps with New Year’s resolutions to do something good for yourself?
Learning and experimenting, questioning old habits or simply starting all over again – all this can be part of an artistic wellness programme.

I would like to cordially invite you to join this programme, as I am offering four online acting courses from January to April that focus on independent role development and challenging storytelling methods – which we explored in detail last season. Furthermore, I remain fascinated by how successful dialogue on stage can lead to wonderful experiences. The power of dialogue is invaluable, especially in our current social situation.

Each course stands alone, but they complement each other in any combination. Of course, there is a discount if you book 2, 3 or 4 courses.

Welcome!

In the next step, we will explore storytelling as a most beautiful art form. So many interesting approaches and techniques. So many acting challenges! So many possibilities for wordplay and mind games. A feast for every actor! Take your own way to your story – first we will look at the fundamental tools, move to new approaches and innovative techniques, and undertake numerous practical exercises and experiments together; during two weekends, four sessions in total. Then everyone will embark on their own journey, exploring the various possibilities, developing them further, and thus finding their own story. This process will be accompanied by three individual sessions. After a month, we will meet for a finale, where we will tell each other our stories and reflect on the work.
8 meetings plus 2 individual coachings Weekly, Wed 25 Feb – 15 April at 18:00 – 20:30 UTC+1 Early bird offer until 1st of February 2026		The Vertical of the Role The Method for the self-preparation of the actor​ – a classic in the European Theatre – was created by Dr. Jurij Alschitz 25 years ago. Over the years it has naturally changed, many steps have been adapted for online teaching and lead to even more self-reliance for the artists. This method will help you prepare for a role throughout your life. The clear work steps give you certainty as to which tasks you can set yourself and in what order so that you can grasp a role in all its dimensions.
Sat 07 + Sun 08 March Sat 14 + Sun 15 March Sat 21 + Sun 22 March always at 12:00 – 14:30 UTC+1 Early bird offer until 1st of February 2026		The magical power of dialogue Meet the dialogue in times of monologue. Dialogue is a powerful tool in communication that releases enormous forces; they can hurt, but they can also heal; above all, they can release new dimensions of thought and action. We need dialogue with the Dialogue. The wisdom of the Dialogue can help us to discover a new potential for artistic and personal development. Dialogue requires us to open up – in doing so I also expose myself to risk – but without risk there is no artistic life. Do you know the different laws of Dialogue on stage? You will open a new language…
