New International Directing Programme of the World Theatre Training Institute to start in February 2024

The artistic director of the World Theatre Training Institute AKT-ZENT/ITI, Dr Jurij Alschitz is launching a permanent International Directing Programme in 2024 with courses in an online - hybrid - face-to-face format.

This unique hybrid educational programme is aimed at anyone who wants to enter the directing profession but is unable to complete a formal course of study. It is also aimed at all directors who wish to enhance their practical skills. Many career changers in particular lack a methodological basis for their practice. In this sense, the programme is particularly suitable for theatre teachers, actors and dramaturges who already have experience in their profession but want to acquire more methodological knowledge.

Jurij Alschitz conveys directing in its comprehensive meaning - as a world view, as an art, as a craft and as a tool.

Directors acquire essential knowledge how to develop and implement ideas for a performance, actors how to stage their roles, and theatre teachers how to use the art of directing in their pedagogical work.
The programme conveys all the basics of the art of directing and fosters the necessary independence for this profession. The application and perfection of what has been learnt is up to each individual and is definitely a life's work. In other words:

This programme provides the solid starting point for an independent journey into directing.

The international directing programme is regularly offered in three modules over the course of a year. The modules can be freely combined, allowing maximum flexibility for students. The courses are held online, hybrid and face-to-face, thus enabling international participation.
The international directing programme begins with "The Director's Tools" on 11 February 2024 with an online introduction to the course, which takes place from 21 - 25 February in a hybrid format in the studio in Berlin or online.
The following module on "Rehearsal Methods" will be held in presence from 8 - 12 May in Berlin.

The World Theatre Training Institute AKT-ZENT is the research centre for theatre training methods of the International Theatre Institute (ITI) / World Organisation for the Performing Arts.

Under the artistic direction of Dr. Jurij Alschitz, a successful teaching and rehearsal practice has been developed under the name "Training as Method", which is applied worldwide by a specially trained European team of teachers.
The institute focuses on the innovation of theatre training in theory and practice, which is tested in a variety of training and further education programmes. An artistic-methodological focus is on the development of new strategies of self-education and self-creation of the artistic individual and the understanding of a "holistic theatre".
Dr. Jurij Alschitz also uses the interplay of natural science and humanities to develop new methods and practical exercises. Projects such as applied quantum pedagogy for acting training emerge on this basis.
Since 2020, the Online Theatre Academy has been incorporated into the Institute.
