Theatre Laboratory Plavo pozorište was founded in 1995. Since then Plavo pozorište realised ten professional theatre productions and over 80 educational projects of various sorts, whereby trying to bring ideas of contemporary theatre closer to the people in the country and abroad.
First International Summer Workshop "Contemporary Theatre – Mind and Technique" took place in 2004 and the next one in 2005. After very positive experiences, this year the project will be realised for the third time.
The aim of Plavo pozorište in this project is to share experiences in work in the field of thought and technique, through researching process and creative work. Theoretical part of the workshop will treat method of work on a certain question, and in practical sense, beside many exercises of workshop type, important elements of technical perfecting are physical and vocal training, creation of acting materials and their integration into wider context – a presentation of work open for public which will end the workshop.
During two week long work our aim is to show participants our vision of theatre as place of self-researching, place of communication, space of open mind where some important things about the world that surrounds us can be said. There comes the need to make contemporary theatre a place of meeting of different cultures, and as participants invite young people from abroad and Serbia.
Who can participate?
Workshop is open for actors, directors and all theatre people who want to expand their knowledge of contemporary theatre, as well as for people who are not engaged in theatre professionally, but want to get introduced to contemporary theatre through specific work of Plavo pozorište.
Our aim is to introduce participants to basic elements and tools of theatre expression of contemporary theatre through theory and practice, researching process and creative work, to provide participants idea of sense and methods of work in contemporary theatre, and train them for further self-development and self-researching.
What is specific work of Plavo pozorište?
Relying on a contemporary theatre tradition, one of the main characteristics of Plavo pozorište, is researching approach to work. Using models like Jerzy Grotowsky or Eugenio Barba and Odin Teatret, Plavo pozorište production appeared. It is based on laboratory work in idea to accept and deepen the inheritance of knowledge of scenic expression.
The laboratory approach indicates the need of self-researching process. During this process, the actor/actress/musician sharpens his/her mind and consciousness, and gets to scenic experience, using specific system of signs. The sign language of Plavo pozorište came as a result of researching of development in contemporary theatre, but as a result of our own research, too.
In Plavo pozorište method of work, one has to have sharp thought and not only perfect technique. Starting with human approach to theatre, Plavo pozorište sees actor/actress/musician as a human being. More precisely, an active human being, the one who does, changes theatre situation and communicates with spectator, influences audience by using not only movement but his/her conscious energy. Through years Plavo pozorište has developed its specific inner technique, based on human experience.
Methods of work
Techniques used by Plavo pozorište are contemporary acting techniques born in theatre laboratories of XX century theatre, to which our own experience in different circumstances has been added.
Training presents everyday work of actor/actress/musician on himself/herself as on own tool of expression. Training is used for practicing of organic unity of body and mind. Workshop participants will be introduced to basic elements and principles of physical and vocal training, as well as with the possibility of its development in time. Beside training, through series of workshop exercises, participants will be directed how to control their body and voice in time and space, and to control their energy.
Working on materials means applying of knowledge into expression of personal inner world and it is connected with tasks which respond to theme and questions which this workshop research process treats.
Theoretical part of workshop will treat method of work on certain question, defined at the beginning of the workshop. It should present a map to each participant, way of being in process, starting from questions to enriching the inner world.
Through work presentation, materials are transformed according to new context, and presence of performer takes more complex level. Complete complexity of scenic life is realized only through performing to spectators, in interaction with spectators.
