ANTON CHEKHOV: THE DEATH AND THE ACTOR’S BIRTH AT NEWDRAMA THEATRE is an exceptional opportunity for actors, acting teachers and stage directors interested in advancing their further knowledge and experience in the training work of new methods of theatre art.
INVITATION from Prof. Dr. Jurij Alschitz:
“The post-dramatic label, with all its fashionable components, has already reached every corner of our globe; and I think it will be more honest not to speak, speak, speak about the new way of theatre or about the new fashion on theatre. I want to invite you to discover new instruments and tools of the modern artists. In theatre art – as everywhere – technology is changing. The hierarchies of tools are changing. In which relation toward the other do we see the director, playwright, and actor? The French philosopher Roland Barthes is dead, but is the author still alive? How is the new theatre related to modern philosophy, physics, cybernetic science, and so on? Is technology in the modern theatre changing or not? We have a lot of questions. To get some answers we should come back to the roots and pay attention to the theatre of Anton Chekhov. He was one of the first who tried to open the new page of theatre. He began this line of inquiry and now it is time to get answers.”
Participants will have an opportunity to share their artistic work at presentational showcase and symposium on the open-air theatre stage and in Chekhov’s theatre yard at The State Literary and Memorial Museum of Anton Chekhov in Melikhovo.
Only 20 participants will be selected. The final PROGRAM of educational venue for THE DEATH AND THE ACTOR’S BIRTH AT NEWDRAMA THEATRE will be available two weeks before the scheduled work.
