LEAR LANDSCAPES – a Theatrical Exploration Into Methodology LumparLab Teaterförening rf PROJECT DESCRIPTION LEAR LANDSCAPES – A theatrical exploration into methodology Lear Landscapes is a cross-genre venture investigating Shakespeare’s King Lear in contemporary performing arts within an international network of artists and theatre associations. Laboratories The project is divided into two parts. The first consists of two laboratories in 2010 and the second of three laboratories in 2011. All five laboratories research and reflect the methods applied from five different points of view: the performer, the pedagogue, the director, the scenographer and the dramaturge. Laboratory work will involve professional performing artists (from dance, theatre and performance), providing different experiences, backgrounds and age. Research method and method research Methodically, the laboratories of Lear Landscapes are based on two anchors: The "Viewpoints" created by Bogart and Landau offer the performer tools for the creative process on stage. Their approach follows a formal route, through structure, form and composition. To complement this, text research is based on the Russian tradition of drama analysis (Knebel, Vasiljev, Alschitz). This means that a physical work, which has its main focus on listening and responding, working within an ensemble and interacting with others, will be combined with intensive work on the text, focusing on themes, perspective and philosophical aspects. Laboratory work is accompanied by ongoing feedback, documentation and evaluation. Laboratory research concerns several levels: It is about developing a method that connects the Viewpoints with the Russian tradition of text analysis. And it is also a research on the contemporary impact of Shakespeare's King Lear. The combination of working on a research method and method research improves performers' skills as well as upgrading teaching. Knowledge acquired through the work will be shared and disseminated (documentation, website, colloquia and in articles in theatre magazines). Pre-project In August 2010 LumparLab completed a pre-project called “Shakespeare Revisited: An enquiry into theory and praxis” which included research and preparations at several levels. We started to build up and develop a network of cooperation partners in Nordic and European countries. In November 2009 we conducted a preliminary laboratory to explore the possibilities and difficulties of our research. This first approach had its main LumparLab Teaterförening r.f. | www.lumparlab.ax c/o Grete Sneltvedt, Sandviksvägen 540, 22630 Lumparland, Finland 1/3 focus on Physical Viewpoints; the goal was to train and develop the actors' awareness and presence in time and space on the floor. The text analysis focused on the main themes and ideas of King Lear, Act 1. As we found out, this combination is strongly inspiring and pools the creativity of the artists. After this extremely fruitful touch with the practical part of our research, we began the Lear Landscapes project in September 2010. 24 August, Stockholm Colloquium During the pre-project we liaised with theatre scientists at university level to provide an exchange, both theoretically and artistically. In August 2010 we arranged a colloquium in Stockholm. Our partners so far are Svein Gladsø (Prof. Media and Theatre Dept. NTNU Trondheim University), Kent Hägglund (Ass. Prof., lecturer and writer at the Institute of Education/Stockholm University), Martha Vestin (Prof. emeritus Dramatiska Institutet). Laboratories 16–22 September 2010 The first laboratory continued and investigated in greater depth the process begun in the preliminary workshop (November 2009). By investigating vocal possibilities in Lear’s Landscapes, we took one step further into Vocal Viewpoints, addressing sound and human voice as a tool on stage. Again, certain aspects in time and space guided our enquiry. 19–25 November 2010 This laboratory will continue and deepen the enquiry of Physical and Vocal Viewpoints that begun in the September laboratory, addressing sound and human voice as a tool on stage. We will investigate how listening and awareness of breathing rhythms, sound and silence create and alter meaning. We will focus on the use of phonetic elements in verse and prose – how do we convey imagery and meaning through sound and rhythm in spoken language. We will further focus on improvisation and composition while we explore dialogues and scenes. 10–16 February 2011 Lear Landscapes 2011 will start with a change of perspective – the use of music, light, scenography and visual arts on stage. We will investigate aesthetics, style and atmospheric aspects as well as the possibilities these related arts offer as dialogue partners to the actors: repetition, kinaesthetic response, topography, architecture, shape and gesture will be focused on, discussed and rehearsed from another viewpoint. 12±18 May 2011 The tools acquired in the preceding laboratories will now meet the Viewpoints of scenic composition. By means of exercises and improvisations we will continue our practical enquiry. Advanced composition work will train the actors' capability to carry out complex composition tasks in close connection with the material. Text analysis will lead to a deeper understanding and accurate use of the original text. 1–14 August 2011 The final laboratory will focus on deepening analysis of major themes found so far in King Lear. We will choose aspects of key interest to the actors, reflecting contemporary concern. Screening the material developed so far, we will continue the enquiry towards an apt frame for a scenic performance, which means use of original text vs. improvised LumparLab Teaterförening r.f. | www.lumparlab.ax c/o Grete Sneltvedt, Sandviksvägen 540, 22630 Lumparland, Finland 2/3 text, use of related arts, taking decisions on rhythm and space. The laboratory will begin with a seminar in cooperation with Theatre de Complicite from England to provide new impulses to our methodological enquiry. Mid-October Stockholm Colloquium In October 2011 we will conclude the project with a Colloquium in Stockholm. We will present our report containing reflections on the whole process of our enquiry. The goal is to arrange a seminar where our experience will meet different points of view and experience with other methods. As our partners will try to take part as observers during one or more laboratories their reflection will contain experience both from the concrete artistic work in Lear Landscapes and from their own experience and knowledge from other work. Perspective Our theatrical enquiry into methodology in this diverse manner aims in the long run to find a way of bridging the gap between training and rehearsing for a performance. The laboratories have their main focus on research on both the methodical work in actor's training and the play King Lear. After closing the work of research through laboratories, which will not push on any results in terms of performance, the enquiry will be resumed by a separate phase of a Nordic Lear Landscapes production (2011/2012). LumparLab LumparLab is a theatre association situated on the Åland Islands. Its aim is to further knowledge and skills about current theatre developments in the Nordic countries and, at the same time, establish a cross-genre approach to practical theatre work. LumparLab cooperates within a network of artists, theatre associations and independent academics at a Nordic and international level. Lear Landscapes is an autonomous project within the association. LumparLab combines several perspectives on theatrical work, since the board brings together professionals from different fields: performance, education, directing, dramaturgy, scenography and theatre science background. Furthermore, we connect with universities and scholars at several levels to challenge and bring forward our own work as well as to share our approaches. Leading team Grete Sneltvedt MA pedagogue and Heidrun Kaletsch theatre director are both certified as stage art pedagogues by Dr. Jurij Alschitz (European Association for Theatre Culture/GITIS Moscow). Since 2003 they have taught as a team in Italy, Sweden and Åland, continuously developing their training methods. Within LumparLab this project focuses on the collaboration between performing arts and science in the Nordic countries. Katja von der Ropp MA (theatre studies/Berlin, Helsinki), works as dramaturge and director of cross-genre performances in Berlin. Ingvill Fossheim MA, scenographer and costume designer, works in Norway/Finland/Great Britain. Mervi Appel BA, producer (art history Turku University, arts management, Fondation Hicter, Brussels).

  • I Have Been Asked to Speak About Theatre in the 21St Century
    Jurij Alschitz Lectures on "Theatre in the 21st Century" I have been asked to speak about theatre in the 21st Century. But predictions about the theatre are always very complicated - in fact it's impossible to make predictions about the theatre. I recall a few prognoses about 20th Century theatre and doubt that any of these have actually come to pass. I'm under the impression that the theatre always knows more about itself than we can ever imagine. Occasionally, I try to image the position from which the theatre looks at us, our lives, our conference, our teaching, our productions...no doubt with great irony at our attempts to look into the future. It gazes at us like a giant peering down on Lilliputians. How shall I go about venturing predictions about the 21st Century when we aren't even certain about what the 20th has really brought us. We have about 100 days until the end of the century, but no one is able to tell us what we have done in the 20th Century. It was a great century for theatre. Important trends, great transformations and revelations. I am amazed at how many colleagues at this conference have mentioned the name Stanislavsky. As a scientist Stanislavsky often changed his mind. He never attempted to stick in his opinion forever. Young Stanislavsky's findings and the works at the end of his live are two totally different "Stanislavskies". But people grasp on to that which they understand and say "this is Stanislavsky". Like the young acting students who take one acting seminar and already think they know "this is theatre, this is the method" - this in glaring contrast to our in fact very limited knowledge of the theatre.

  • Programme VIII METHODIKA International Festival for Theatre Training Methods Berlin 27.11
    Programme VIII METHODIKA International Festival for Theatre Training Methods Berlin 27.11. - 2.12.2018 The festival is created by Jurij Alschitz’ European Team of Teachers, master students and long-term collaborators. The speakers, workshop leaders and performers share their artistic experiences and research which was influenced by the work of Jurij Alschitz throughout the last 20 years. The team of teachers - Olga Lapina, Riccardo Palmieri, Christine Schmalor, Dimitris Tsiamis – have proposed four main themes for the festival and will each lead one day. Due to the nature of the school of Jurij Alschitz, the contributions refer to more than one theme. During the course of four days, we will experience cross-references to the different aspects of the Master’s training and philosophy, discuss new emerging ideas and on the fifth day, hear about his newest research about Holistic Theatre. Jurij Alschitz will speak about his upcoming experimental educational project ALthattheatre which introduces Quantum Pedagogy. In the evenings, we will enjoy performances and share experiences - and of course celebrate the TRANSITION towards the World Theatre Training Institute AKT-ZENT’s new life on Saturday. 2 Welcome to the VIII METHODIKA Dear colleagues, This edition of METHODIKA is special for many different reasons. The International Festival for Theatre Training Methods has a new and collective organisation. The Team of Teachers introduces itself together for the very first time. We feel bound by the School of Jurij Alschitz and have been teaching in line with his methodical Training for many years even though artistic individuality also means using different paths. And this is exactly what distinguishes the unique Method of Jurij Alschitz – the Resonance challenges ones’ own creativity.

Greetings from Shanghai, China, from the General Secretariat Team of ITI. The lunar new year holiday that China experienced was not a happy one as it should be. As you may know, due to the new Coronavirus outbreak in a few areas of China, the whole country is now going through some serious problems. Strong efforts to fight against the outbreak and the prevention of more cases are done. After a 10-day stay-at-home lunar year holiday, the General Secretariat Team has resumed its work on 3 February. If you have any questions or needs, you can still reach the General Secretariat. The work of the office continues to be done. However, as the government and experts strongly suggest that citizens should avoid gathering. That is why the members of the General Secretariat will only return to work in the office at the beginning of March. The good news is that the Shanghai authorities have been successful in dealing with the virus and things are getting back to normal, step by step. We will keep you updated on the situation here. If you have any questions, please write to us over info(at)iti-worldwide.org. W i h f t d h lth t ll f A d h th t th iti ll th We wish safety and health to all of you. And we hope that authorities all over the world will keep the health issues well under control so that each and everyone can experience safe and healthy days and do the intended work without fear.
