XVI International Theatre Summer Academy 2026Artistic Direction: Dr Jurij Alschitz / International team of teachers With its annual International Theatre Summer Academy, the World Theatre Training Institute offers a supplement to drama school programmes and therefore offers both students and professional theatre professionals a unique opportunity for personal advanced training. Two courses for Acting and Directing This year’s academy will explore with you the relationship between the energy of the actor, the energy of words, the energy of performance, the energy of the stage, and the energy of the surrounding world. ART PICNIC“Nature is artificial, and art is natural.” (Oscar Wilde) Both groups will end up working together about the profound interaction between art and the world around it. We will have the opportunity to hear, feel, and see how the energy of theatrical performance can energise the surrounding world and nature, and how the energy of nature can inspire actors to new forms of self-expression. |

Christine Schmalor Workshop and individual coaching There is a vacuum for actors in contemporary theatre: no situations, no characters, no plots, just words, words, words… texts, sounds, ideas created by authors, directors or collectively. Exciting – but what should I play? Themes? How can themes be identified? How can they be opened up? How can they be played? Only with a clear change in the actor’s position, based on a changed mindset. In this seminar, we will try out new techniques of text analysis that necessarily lead to completely different forms of acting. (…) As a result, you achieve a greater sense of confidence on stage. More, you will discover emotions and feelings on entirely new levels. |

Christine Schmalor Workshop and individual coaching Rediscover a well-known art form – this course looks at storytelling as a basis for approaching a role, creating a character, as a rehearsal method or for 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! We will look at the fundamental tools, move to new approaches and innovative techniques, and undertake numerous practical exercises and experiments together; during two weekends, four sessions in total. Then, everyone will embark on their own journey, exploring the various possibilities, developing them further, 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. |

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… |
