The Sphere of Dialogue
 
Within the on-going research project "The Art of Dialogue", Dr. Jurij Alschitz
has developed a new way of rehearsal and self-preparation called "The Sphere of Dialogue".
After the "Vertical of the Role", which is today a well-known method for self-preparation of the
actor, proposing a monological structure, his research continues with the dialogue as sphere.
This implies the approach, that the "I" exists only in complement with the "Other".
 
Teacher: Christine Schmalor
Assistant: Apostolos Apostolides

Parallel, the artistic director Prof. Dr. Jurij Alschitz will continue his line of research in a laboratory.
