Programme May 2021 - World Theatre Training Institute AKT-ZENT/ITI

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

we all hope that the spring and summer will again bring theater into our lives wherever it can be made possible. With our last Team of Teachers Talk before the summer break, we want to talk about the topic of space. For the past year, the actors have been moving in extraordinary spaces – in both virtual and physical ones. What does that mean in terms of new possibilities of expression?
This month some new interesting courses start in our Online Theatre Academy. We welcome your curiosity and look forward to meet interested participants.

We wish everyone a merry month of May.
As Erich Kästner wrote so beautifully:

In his gala dress of buoyant squander,
a flower sceptre in his slender hand,
May drives by, the Mozart of the calendar,
Greeting from his carriage, across the land.

The Art of Text Analysis

16 + 18 + 20 May from 14 – 16:00

We are as far from understanding the play and the role as we are from understanding the world around us. And yet the analysis of the play, the role or the text is a necessary matter. It is an Art, but it can be quite simple. There are just a few rules you need to know…
Dr Jurij Alschitz

The Art of Composition

24 + 31 May + 07 June at 14 – 16:00

Composition in contemporary theatre is not just a technical form, but also a living one: it breathes, speaks to us and conveys the content of the play and the idea. The largest percentage of the success of a performance is based on a brilliant, dynamic composition of the director.
With this practice-oriented course, you can expect to learn a number of things beyond general school knowledge: about the many different types of composition, about secrets of montage and energy management, and how to approach theatre from a compositorial point of view.
Dr Jurij Alschitz
