17-21 May 2010 

A Goossun Art-illery workshop exploring Theatre Anthropology and Theatre of the Oppressed at the Danish Center for Performing Arts (Odsherred Teaterskole) in Denmark

 Join us for a five-day workshop exploring the relationship between Theatre Anthropology (TA) and Theatre of the Oppressed (TO), as developed by Eugenio Barba and Augusto Boal respectively. Led by Augusto´s son and long-term assistant, Julian Boal, and Goossun Art-illery’s artistic director, Vahid, the workshop scrutinizes the games and exercises of TO (aka “Arsenal”) through the filter and principles of TA. Both the notions of TA and TO are being employed by Goossun Art-illery in the creation of HamletZar, a research-based cultural project leading to a new piece of dance theatre, which aims to address the socio-political rights of asylum seekers, immigrants and refugees and seeks to interact with these communities as part of the creative process. The first two days of the workshop will include separate sessions of physical and vocal training and TO work. The last three days will be a synthesis of the two.

Workshop Leaders

Julian Boal has led workshops in Theatre of the Oppressed both individually and with his father, Augusto Boal, in more than 20 countries, and has collaborated on TO festivals in India, Croatia, Spain and Brazil. He has published articles in France, Brazil and Greece, translated The Rainbow of Desire into French, coordinated the new French edition of Games for Actors and Non-Actors and authored Imagens de um Teatro Popular, published in 2000.

Vahid is Goossun Art-illery’s founder and Artistic Director. As a theatre director, filmmaker and performer trainer, he began his career in Iran as director of an experimental theatre group interested in research on acting. In 2001, he left Iran for Holstebro, Denmark, where he studied with Eugenio Barba and Odin Teatret. He sought asylum in Denmark and after spending two and half years in refugee camps, including the notorious Sandholmlejren, he was granted asylum in 2003. He has studied with several masters of Oriental and Western theatre including Akira Matsui (Noh), Augusto Boal (TO) and Augusto Omolú (Orixa).

A Goossun Art-illery workshop exploring Theatre Anthropology and Theatre of the Oppressed at the Danish Center for Performing Arts (Odsherred Teaterskole) in Denmark

JOIN US for a four-day workshop combining the techniques and principles of Theatre Anthropology (TA) and Theatre of the Oppressed (TO), as developed by Eugenio Barba and Augusto Boal respectively. Led by Augusto´s son, Julian Boal, and Goossun Art-illery’s artistic director, Vahid, the workshop explores the relationship between these two major theatrical notions of the twentieth century. Both methods are being used by Goossun Art-illery in the creation of HamletZar, a research-based cultural project leading to a new piece of dance theatre, which aims to address the socio-political rights of asylum seekers, migrants and refugees and seeks to interact with these communities as part of the creative process. The first two days of the workshop will include separate sessions of physical and vocal training and TO work. The last two days will be a synthesis of the two methods.

Artikelindkaldelse til TRAPPE TUSIND – tidsskrift for litteraturvidenskab nr. 4

TRAPPE TUSIND nr. 3 er stadig aktuelt og særdeles anbefalelsesværdigt (30 kroner kun, abonnement kun 100 kroner), men ikke desto mindre bygger vi på næste trin på trappen, nemlig nr. 4, der udkommer i foråret 2010, og i den anledning indkalder redaktionen forslag til bidrag.

Trappen er som sædvanlig mere eller mindre temaløs, så der er frit slag, så længe bidraget på den ene eller anden måde relaterer sig til litteratur og litteraturvidenskab.

Vi modtager såvel færdige artikler, essays mv. som udkast og synopser. Mht. sidstnævnte må de gerne fylde min. en halv side, så vi kan danne os en idé om indhold og form. Send hellere disse før end senere.

Skønlitteratur opsøger vi i udgangspunktet selv, men har du et godt forslag, er du velkommen til at kontakte os.

Læs evt. mere om vores retningslinjer på http://www.trappetusind.dk/2008/12/skriv-til-trappe-tusind_06.html og send så dit bidrag/forslag til trappetusind@nullgmail.com i word-kompatibelt format. Deadline for idéer, udkast osv. er d. 1. februar 2010.

Forslag til omslagsillustration modtages også meget gerne (se ovenstående link for detaljer om format og download af skabelon). Deadline for dette er d. 1. marts 2010.
