Entry requirements: you have a basic knowledge of theater, music, dance, design, spoken word or another art form. Because you work with the group towards a performance in only 15 weeks, it is nice if you already have some experience with your art form. Of course, the teacher will guide you in this process! Working language is English.
 
In this course we are going to create a performance together that we will perform in the Parnassos theater during the 30 minute festival in June 2024. We will do this around the theme "Memories."

We have good memories, we have unpleasant memories—what if you only have memories or can't remember them anymore? With this theme, we will collaboratively work on creating a 30-minute performance. We're not just looking for actors; we're searching for individuals eager to contribute their talents, whether it's through music, instruments, writing, dance, or visual arts. We will develop and create it together as a group.
 
About the teacher
Your teacher is Julia Spoelstra, theatre maker. She will be guiding you through this creative process: “As a visual theatre artist, I thrive on involving people in the creative process through their physicality and in a coaching manner. My expertise spans acting, physical theatre and getting other people involved in creating and making. I always draw inspiration from music, dance, and text, so there is plenty of room for that. Although I don’t teach music in rehearsals, I do create space in the process to collaboratively incorporate it”.
 
Do you want to create a beautiful performance as a group around the theme 'Memories'? Do you want to create a performance not only through acting but also through music, movement, text, or visuals? Then, this production group is for you!
