Dear friends and colleagues,

A personal note to begin with:
As I write this newsletter, a memory comes up of 29 January 2010 – our celebration of the 150th anniversary of Anton Chekhov’s birthday. Over 50 theatre artists from several European countries, together with GITIS students, travelled to Yelez to the theatre where Nina Zarechnaja had received her “engagement for the winter”. What a journey, what wonderful encounters with the ensemble there, what curiosity about each other, what joy and sympathy! It is painful to see what we are losing these days.
If you feel like travelling through time, you can see videos of it.
May Anton Chekhov continue to unite the people in this world! May his spirit of freedom and reason be with us.

The World Theatre Training Institute has new offerings for the spring and invites you to make use of them. We continue to work online, as this is the best way for everyone to train alongside their own projects in a flexible and affordable way, and even to be able to watch a session as a recording if you happen to miss it. Moreover, we find it enormously enriching to have artists from almost all continents in the courses.

Here is the first preview, more courses will follow. We would like to point out that we have early booking discounts for you until mid-February!

We are looking forward to the artistic exchange.
