The Director in Dialogue with the Text and in Dialogue with the Actor.
A Masterclass with Dr. Jurij Alschitz, one of the most well-known and popular theatre teachers who educated thousands of students working around the world; author of standard works on the art of theatre.

A director prepares – how does he achieve that the text speaks to him? He seeks dialogue, but how do you open the conversation? One understands the text, the role, words as living beings and finds the right keys to their secrets. The Art of Directing lies in bringing this process to life in rehearsals with the actors. Again, it is the art of dialogue to awaken the creative forces of all those involved. There are many ways and forms of working to achieve this. As directors, we should have the most diverse methods at our disposal so that we can always use them purposefully. In this course, participants will get to know some of them, try them out in practice and learn how to use them confidently.
