Dear colleagues,
This May you have one more chance to participate in the online course SOLO. In three group meetings we will deal with basic questions about soloistic work. The many accompanying practical exercises provide long-term support for working with oneself. Each meeting is followed by individual coaching on your own project. In this way, the exchange with other colleagues worldwide is ideally combined with a very personal discussion and advice from the experienced acting teacher Christine Schmalor.
“It is with great pleasure that I have been able to see many interesting realised projects that started in the SOLO course or had just begun to be realised on stage. Artists from all continents have exchanged their stories here and inspired each other… That’s why I’m so happy to offer this course again.”
Christine Schmalor
Workshop and individual coaching
6 + 13 + 20 May always from 12 – 15:00 (UTC+2) online / coaching dates by arrangement
The SOLO course supports artists who are creating a monologue, a monodrama, a solo performance or their own devised theatre evening.
The SOLO course is likewise aimed at all those who are currently taking a fresh look at their audition repertoire, because this can be about more than just a few pretty monologues, but about presenting your own artistic personality.
Find your way – find your voice
In any case, you need a roadmap for your steps. Working on oneself and with oneself is a journey into the unknown with the very practical questions: How do I structure my own artistic path? What do I have to keep in mind? How do I work with myself? What tasks should I set myself so that I can really break new ground?
You might have already a vague subject or a collection of artistic material, but how to work with it? We will touch the following subjects:
- The artistic work with a theme and its practical implementation.
- Steps to unfold your creative mind-flow.
- The process of creation through intertextuality: discovering new patterns of speech and thought that, in particular, inspire playfulness.
- Working with the artistic image – finding it, shaping it and stepping into it.
- The art of composition as the basis and compass of designing a mono-performance or a monologue
Theory and insights want to be put into practice artistically; therefore, in all topics, joint practical exercises will help to understand more and to make the often lonely process both enjoyable and productive.
The SOLO course consists of 3 joint meetings with 3 hours each; with lecture, discussion and practical exercises to try out immediately together. After each meeting you will have a one-hour personal coaching session the following week to deepen the topic and apply it to your own project; dates by arrangement. Further coaching hours can then additionally be booked as needed.
Each meeting has a clearly outlined theme, so you can choose to attend all or just one.
Each meeting is recorded and can thus also be caught up on or viewed again.
SOLO 1 – Above All (6 May)
FINDING my theme – OPENING all dimensions of a theme – GIVING VOICE to my theme
SOLO 2 – The creative mind flow (13 May)
Intertextuality – game and chaos – THINK BIG!
SOLO 3 – Composition (20 May)
Building your fundament – your compass – your ARTISTIC LANGUAGE
Dear colleagues, we would be very pleased if this offer could be spread among your friends and colleagues. Thank you!
