Dear Actors!
Dear colleagues, please forward this invitation to any actors who might be interested.
Several years ago, Dr Jurij Alschitz published his book The Art of Dialogue, the first theory and system for the stage practice of dialogue. Amazing but true. In the last two years, I have taken up this topic again because I want to promote it as a basic acting skill. I am fascinated by
The magical power of dialogue
Dialogue has been and is being scientifically researched in almost all disciplines, but where it was born, on the stage, it ekes out a shadowy existence. The stage as a reflection of our society shows the monologue and celebrates the monological existence. Here, the ego is regarded as the key to success!
Question: What is more interesting on stage – one monologue, two monologues or the exchange between two individuals who are less interested in propagating their own position than in recognising a truth that is still unknown to them?
The answer seems easy; in theory. However, the mere commitment to exchange or dialogue does not mean that a dialogue is being conducted. The question of the definition of dialogue already leads to confusing answers, as does the question of different forms of dialogue, their techniques etc.. It is simply not part of regular acting training. This much can be said: if two or more people speak on stage, it is far from being a dialogue.
Dear Actors,
I would like to personally invite you to learn the fascinating skill of confident dialogue management. This is not just a ‘nice-to-have’, it gives you a magical power that will set you apart in your professional life from all those who continue to parade their ego monologically on stage.
To get you started in this wonderful world, I offer a compact, practical online course with six sessions. This will give you extensive know-how to experiment with on stage and discover the world of dialogue.
I look forward to the dialogue!
