Three steps to professional directing

for emerging and experienced Directors, Drama Teachers, Theatre Pedagogues, for Actors with new professional perspectives

This unique online training programme is designed for those who have decided to pursue a directing career, as well as for all directors, theatre educators, actors and playwrights with professional experience, who wish to enhance their practical skills. It is aimed at those who want to learn important secrets of the profession. 

The 4-month intensive programme has three modules. In between, students receive extensive assignments so that they can develop the expertise they have gained into their own methodology.

Christine Schmalor

Rediscover a well-known art form – this course looks at storytelling as a basis for approaching a role, creating a character and as a rehearsal method or play development. In the next step, we will explore storytelling as a most beautiful art form. So many interesting approaches and techniques. So many acting challenges! So many possibilities for wordplay and mind games. A feast for every actor!

Take your own way to your story – first we will discuss the many fundamental questions together, learn new approaches and innovative techniques, and undertake numerous practical exercises and experiments together. Two weekends, four sessions in total, are planned for this.

Then everyone will embark on their own journey, exploring the various possibilities, implementing them artistically, developing them further, combining them freely and thus finding their own story. This process will be accompanied by three individual sessions.

After a month, we will meet for a finale, where we will tell each other our stories and reflect on the work.

The Method for the self-preparation of the actor​

THE VERTICAL OF THE ROLE is already a classic in the European Theatre. The method was created by Dr. Jurij Alschitz 25 years ago. Over the years it has naturally changed, many steps have been adapted for online teaching and lead to even more self-reliance for the artists.

This method will help you prepare for a role throughout your life. The clear work steps give you certainty as to which tasks you can set yourself and in what order so that you can grasp a role in all its dimensions.

Teacher: Christine Schmalor

artistic encounter with our cultural potential

Meet the dialogue in times of monologue.

Dialogue is a powerful tool in communication that releases enormous forces; they can hurt, but they can also heal; above all, they can release new dimensions of thought and action. We need dialogue with the Dialogue. The wisdom of the Dialogue can help us to discover a new potential for artistic and personal development. Dialogue requires us to open up – in doing so I also expose myself to risk – but without risk there is no artistic life.

Do you know the different laws of Dialogue on stage? You will open a new language…

The Vertical of the Role – one-to-one

Christine Schmalor

Jurij Alschitz’s famous method for the self-preparation of the actor.
By working on a Vertical of the Role, I decide above all to change my own personal role: from that of a mere actor to that of an artist who – immediately recognisable to everyone – enters the stage with a specific weight.

New opportunity

Prepare your next role with this unique methodology in individual lessons with flexible timing.
