Act in the world in Marathon: Artistic research meeting
5th anniversary of “The Makings of the Actor”
This year’s event Act in the World is the 5th anniversary of the Makings of the Actor and we decided to include a wide range of events including research papers and presentations as well as discussions, online and in person, workshops and performances, poetry readings and party nights in Athens and in Marathon.
Keynote speaker: Lars Henning Artistic director CISPA (Copenhagen Internation School of Performing Arts)
Bringing together practitioners and scholars in the field of Actor Education, this year’s conference will also celebrate the launch of a new program for the Actor Education Initiative, to be run by Makings of the Actor in the Municipality of Marathon, Greece, with the support of several Acting experts from around the world. By reviewing and re-evaluating existing methods prevalent in actor training, our initiative aims to address the holistic training of the actor in the 21st century to establish new perspectives and approaches in the field of acting.
In this artistic meeting we will be gathering in a different environment from our work, discuss freely, get to know each other, exchange views and experiences, and create artistic works together.
In the center of symposia since ancient times, in Greece and specifically in the Municipality of Marathon, we will meet to create artistic works in a different environment from that of a formal institution, such as the Marathon beach, in dining areas and in nature. We will work together in dance, theatre and at the same time, we will organise discussions over lunch and dinner, as well as events where we can all have fun together. The results of this creative collaboration will be presented in a performance and filmed on the last two days of the conference.
You only have to send us your intention to participate until 19 July 2024.
Fees for the artistic meeting: 100 €
