Training as Method – an all-encompassing approach for teaching, rehearsal and your artistic life

Training as Method is a concrete proposal for teaching practice through the tool of Exercises.
Participants will not only receive a wide variety of exercises, they will learn how to create their own system and how to create own exercises.

Training as a Method means to develop methodological thinking as basis for precise professional work. Teachers and directors learn specific exercises for implementing topics such as

• transition
• energy
• ensemble
• composition
• monologue and dialogue
• … and how to combine and develop them as an artistic language

Training as Method is one of the most effective tools of artistic communication. This is achieved through the specific language of exercises. Participants will discover a language for working with international productions or with newly forming groups.

Training as a Method allows you to express the burning issues of our time in artistic forms of expression through artistic thinking.

You will discover Training / Exercises as

• a method of teaching and studying
• a method of analysis of the scene and the play
• a way for actors to create a role and a way of acting
• a way for directors of constructing a performance.

The methodological framework gives you the knowledge and the security to never again be without a suitable task. This opens the way to the “Art of Training” for you to become free and self-reliant as a teacher/director.
