The Vertical of the Role

Christine Schmalor accompanies actors to develop and create a Vertical

This method for self-preparation 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.

Clear work steps give you certainty about which tasks you can set yourself and in what order, so that you can grasp a role in all its dimensions and start rehearsals on an equal footing with your director.

After this online course, you will have the opportunity to realise your Vertical on stage in a laboratory.

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.
