Act in the world in Marathon: 2nd artistic research meeting

After this summer’s successful Act in the World in Marathon, which coincided with the 5th anniversary of Makings of the Actor, we decided to organise a second event with a wide range of events, including research papers and presentations as well as discussions, online and in person, workshops and performances, and party nights in Marathon.
Bringing together practitioners and scholars in the field of Actor Education, this year’s conference will also celebrate the launch of a new programme for the Actor Education Initiative, to be run by Makings of the Actor in 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 in order to establish new perspectives and approaches in the field of acting.
In this artistic meeting we will meet 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 centre of symposia since ancient times, in Greece and specifically in the Marathon, we will meet to create artistic works in a different environment from that of a formal institution, such as the beach of Marathon, in dining areas and in nature. We will organise discussions over lunch and dinner, as well as music and dance evenings.
