InhalteAfter the theatre of authors (‘dramatic theatre’) and the theatre of directors (‘postdramatic theatre’), is it the
actors’ turn to take the lead in the creative process in a theatre focused on physical presence, voice and
movement? In four two-day modules (with seminar sessions in the morning and afternoon) the course will
develop and challenge a standard model of institutionalized theatre in Europe. We will investigate the waves of opposition since the historical avant-garde against a hierarchically organized theatre that places the text at the top (as an artistic product that endures) and the performance at the bottom (as a transient aesthetic
experience).

What if we turn the hierarchy upside down and begin the work on the stage rather than on paper? Shifting the meaning of play away from drama as a literary form to ‘drama’ in the sense of the Greek verb it originates
from, meaning simply ‘to do‘ or ‘to act’? Taking into account the focus of the Master Course at the Accademia
Teatro Dimitri – the expression of the body and its movements – we will question the validity of the term
‘physical theatre’. The aim of the course is to identify and define key aspects of the contemporary scene. Can
we learn to think theatrically?
