International Winter School of Physical Theatre
February 21 - 26, 2017
Is any Theatre Physical?...
Any kind of theatre is physical by its essence. It speaks universal languge. The creation comes from the actor's body. The actor’s body is involved in creating physical space for the spectator. The actor's body is at the centre of the storytelling process.
What is Physical Theatre Today?...
This residential program is open to dancers, choreographers, actors and contemporary circus performers working in various genres and styles, interested in the practical creative research of Physical Theatre as a bold, vibrant and multidimensional approach to contemporary performance. The school provides the fascinating and inspiring encounter of artists from diverse artistic backgrounds and techniques; creates the platform for exchange, network and collaboration in multicultural and multilingual artistic environment and encourages the artists to search for the universal “intercultural” language in contemporary performance.
TEACHERS
Sergei Ostrenko and Gennady Ostrenko.
