New Perspectives on the Art of Directing

Dr Jurij Alschitz has begun compiling his notes from decades of practical work for publication. This has resulted in three books on directing, which are due to be published shortly.

The first book is about Preparation.
In it, he proposes a completely different perspective on this process: the director should not be preparing the future production, but rather preparing themselves for an encounter with something they do not yet know. Instead of traditionally searching for an idea, a concept, answers, and solutions, the director should learn to preserve the unknown.

So, what does it really mean to prepare for a performance if the true creative process begins where preparedness ends?

In this open lecture, Jurij Alschitz will address these and other questions, thereby providing an introduction to his art of directing.

Don’t trust words

Dr Jurij Alschitz on the energy of words

Seminar for Actors, Directors and Teachers 

Whenever you come into contact, into communication with a word, what you perceive first is not its meaning, but its energy.
Or we can put it another way: you perceive the energy of a word — and through that energy, you discover its meaning.

Embark on a fascinating journey – you’ll uncover completely new ways of expressing yourself on stage.

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…

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.
