The working method „The Vertical of the Role” proposes in detailed steps how you can meet the new personnage and how you can prepare yourself for the first rehearsal and for the the meeting with the director on equal footing.
The creation of a new character on stage means to decipher the partiture of the role. This moment when the personnage and the actress are meeting each other is a special process full of secrets. In this moment something new and unique will appear – it is close to an alchemical process. It is an art to lead it.This art is the object of our seminar.
Prof. Dr. Jurij Alschitz has developed the Vertical of the Role in numerous laboratories. Christine Schmalor has participated in this research as pedagogue from the first moment. In 2003 they published a teaching handbook on this method. The seminar gives the rare oportunity to learn all working steps first-hand, and to participate in its constant further development. The participating actors will learn how to build and compose a Vertical of the Role. The seminar will consist of daily training, analysis of the texts, and practical work on stage.
