Styrian Summer Art: Us-Theatre WS

"I can already see that it must be unfair,
because people are not really people -
but it could be a little less unfair."
Elisabeth in Faith Love Hope

How does the positive power of "we" unfold as a tool for understanding, love, and communication, a togetherness in the collective?
Where does the "we" become a polarizing force against the "others," thus turning into a populist instrument of power?

We are working on a constructive project development and are engaging with texts from the play "Faith, Love, Hope" by Ödon von Horvàth and Ulrich Seidl's cinematic "Paradise" trilogy.
Selected dialogues and two-person scenes, as well as texts we write ourselves through collaborative brainstorming and improvisation, form the basis for the scenic implementation on stage. Daily training for performance, voice, body, and movement, as well as creative strategies that we can use artistically but also in everyday life, are part of the four-day workshop.
For anyone who enjoys playfully experiencing themselves.
There will also be a presentation of the results of our work.

Please bring:

Comfortable clothing that allows for good movement,
water bottle,
yoga mat and blanket for body and voice exercises,
writing materials for notes

Aglaia Szyszkowitz, residing in Munich and Graz, graduated from the acting school at the Volkstheater in Vienna after studying medicine for several semesters. She made her stage debut at the municipal theaters in Krefeld, Würzburg, and Münster.
In 1995, she began her TV and film career. Today, she is one of the most popular actresses in the German-speaking world, with more than 60 television productions and over a dozen feature films (e.g., as a commissioner in the crime series "Jenny in Berlin" and "Einsatz im Hamburg"). Acting alongside John Malkovich, she shone in the blockbuster "Klimt," which brought her to the international film scene, where she has remained ever since. For the domestic audience, Aglaia Szyszkowitz appeared for many years alongside Friedrich von Thun in the television series "Zimmer mit Stall." Currently, the ARD is airing the series "Eine mit Herz" (formerly "Billy Kuckuck"), featuring the beloved actress as a lively bailiff).
The audience favorite is also seen live with her solo programs "Gut gegen Nordwind" and "Die Wunderübung" - both Glattauer bestsellers - and with readings from her book "Von der Rolle."
