International Physical Theatre Lab and International Conference – NIPAI

OSTRENKO LAB PROGRAM

The workshop program is focused on the Ostrenko brothers approach of actor’s training, relying on the Russian Theatre Tradition, as well as the newest experiments in performing arts. Performer’s physicality in the methods of K.Stanislavsky, M.Chekhov, Vs.Meyerhold’s Biomechanics, Tai-chi for performers, training by method of improvisation, scene composition from an exercise to a performance. These are some of the elements uniquely transformed and combined in Ostrenko’s teaching system to suit the needs of contemporary performers, directors, and teachers.

Participants will practically explore the performer’s physicality as the principal creative instrument, the key to form and style an atmosphere and emotional palette in contemporary performance, stepping beyond the limits of normative text-based acting.

Practical sessions develop in the form of various exercises that progress from simple to compound. The group gradually proceeds to group improvisations and structures. Every day sets a spectrum of advanced creative tasks, developing the preceding steps. Through the system of consecutive exercises, the group establishes a common language and trust, an ability to collaborate and create together.
