Dear friends and colleagues,
on 18 + 19 April
Dr Jurij Alschitz introduces
Quantum Pedagogy for the theatre
and demonstrates for the first time how it can be applied in practice using Quantum Training.
Reflections on the Actor in Superposition
A two-day seminar for actors, directors, and teachers who feel that linear thinking no longer corresponds to contemporary creative processes, and who are seeking a different way of working with knowledge, presence, and responsibility.
Why quantum?
“For many years I have worked as a teacher and trainer, and increasingly I feel that classical models no longer explain what truly occurs between teacher, student, and the learning process itself. Quantum training is my personal field of reflection and practice — an attempt to reconsider knowledge, the lesson, training, and the responsibility of the teacher.
This seminar does not offer answers. It offers a change of position and an experience that each participant undergoes in their own way.” J.A.
Quantum pedagogy begins where learning is no longer understood as the transmission of knowledge, but as the creation of a shared field — of attention, energy, and relationships.
Quantum Training contextualises ‘quantum concepts’ with acting practice and explores how the application of quantum physics principles can change the actor’s perception and methods. It leads to the actor in superposition.
SEMINAR STRUCTURE
DAY 1 — QUANTUM PEDAGOGY
The first day is devoted to rethinking pedagogy itself.
- Quantum pedagogy — what is the essential difference?
- Knowledge in quantum pedagogy.
- The role of the teacher. The role of the director
- The student and the lesson.
- How can these processes be applied in directing?
This introduction to quantum pedagogy will not offer ready-made tools. With this first ‘quantum step’, Jurij Alschitz will take the liberty of provoking your system in order to bring about a change in your mindset, to provoke changes in perception – for the role of the teacher and the nature of learning itself.
DAY 2 — QUANTUM TRAINING
On the second day theory becomes direct experience.
- Traditional training and quantum training.
- Training the teacher. Training the director.
- Training as a living process.
- What is an exercise?
- The student in quantum training.
- The Actor in Superposition.
Participants will
– work with examples of quantum exercises,
– Observe how the field of work changes when the leading position shifts,
– explore the teacher’s / director’s responsibility for the process itself.
– experience the dimension of the actors’ responsibility for themselves.
