XXVII International Directors' and Trainers' Colloquium - World Theatre Training Institute AKT-ZENT/ITI

Dear colleagues,

We would like to inform you about our updated and extended autumn programme and invite you to the traditional XXVII International Directors’ and Trainers’ Colloquium from 6 – 8 January 2022. Safe the date!

We are all happy to return to the stage, to touch each other again and to feel a lively audience. You may wonder why we continue to offer online courses. Because one thing is clear, they can never replace personal physical contact and lack the direct implementation on stage. On the other hand, people from all continents now meet each other. We are grateful for incredibly exciting encounters. In addition, our practical online courses strengthen artistic independence to a much greater extent: they give the necessary impulses for independent practical work.

Even after a year of experience with our Online Theatre Academy, we continue to regard ourselves as researchers. We keep asking ourselves, what are the best formats, what topics are of interest?

Dear colleagues, we will be happy to receive any feedback, your suggestions, questions for theatre practice, or desired topics.

Here are our plans for autumn:

With best wishes, your
Team of the World Theatre Training Institute AKT-ZENT

The solo, mono-performance or the autonomous preparation for the role for the joint artistic work point in a clear direction: the self-empowerment of the actors. We are supporting this development, with very practical techniques for working independently as artist.

Jurij Alschitz continues his series “Sharing Secrets”, this time especially aimed at young directors. Actors and educators are always welcome! Besides talent and imagination, you need the craft: practical tools both for your own preparation and for working with actors. Concepts are nice, but still a long way from theater!
Here we have a condensed short course of study where you can register separately for each topic.
