Dear friends and colleagues,
we are preparing intensively for our
XIV International Theatre Summer Academy
20 July – 4 August 2024 in Montecreto, Italy – a romantic mountain village south of Bologna.
Jurij Alschitz and Christine Schmalor are planning an intensive directing + acting laboratory. Participants from various European countries are already preparing for the work – but there are still a few places available.
What is this laboratory about? Jurij Alschitz calls it the view of the shaman:
| “I have always loved the play’s clever analyses, the cunningly constructed labyrinths, the intricate weaving of scenes, the complex allusions, the abundance of contextual footnotes and quotations in role and performance. As a young man, I was fascinated by Hermann Hesse’s “The Glass Bead Game” for a long time, and engaged with the beauty of such “chaos” with sincere love and passion. As a young man, I was fascinated by Hermann Hesse’s “The Glass Bead Game” for a long time, and engaged with the beauty of such “chaos” with sincere love and passion. Was it because of this passionate play, or because I was satiated, or perhaps because I was growing wiser – I don’t know – but I began to feel a hunger for emptiness, which I eventually sought to appease with the minimalism of the East.
And this gave rise to the questions with which I decided to go to this year’s Theatre Summer Academy:

From September we will continue online:

Jurij Alschitz
The School of Directingwith three online modules: The Director Prepares The Director’s Tools Rehearsal Methods |
|
| Directors acquire essential knowledge how to develop and implement ideas for a performance, but also 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 6-month intensive programme in three stages, with three modules. It is designed for participants to take part in all three modules. In between, they are given extensive assignments so that they can develop the expertise they have gained into their own methodology. In this programme, Jurij Alschitz practices the Quantum Pedagogy he developed, which is based both on impulses and on a holistic concept of theatre.

“I can explain the idea, the starting and reference points of physics, the underlying philosophy in one day. What you can do with it in theatre practice in another. The realisation, on the other hand, takes a long time, because it requires a fundamental change in consciousness, which everyone has to undergo. I am talking about holistic cognition and quantum cognition. To undertake such a change of consciousness, we have to enter the experimental field of human existence, we explore what quantum mechanics means for the human being, the artist, when he or she applies its principles and mode of action to himself or herself. A new self-perception, born in the digital world, which is certainly already closer to the younger generation, connects us with cosmic laws, philosophical views and physical discoveries…” J.A.
