Mumbai based theatre training body Drama School Mumbai and Embodied Poetics ( Embodied Poetics is an intensive devised physical theatre pedagogy based on the Lecoq Pedagogy: two annual cycles of training, 13-15 weeks, in London ) are delighted to announce their collaboration for the second series of Unrehearsed Futures conversations.
The series started on October 1 and would go on to continue throughout October. For eleven sessions Unrehearsed futures would bring leading pedagogues and trainers from five continents ( USA, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia .)
The discussion would revolve around the future of drama training in the times of COVID-19. Many performance spaces have closed and reluctantly doing digital streams; even fewer barely surviving on audience donations. Like, The National Theatre was streaming plays every Thursday on their Youtube channel. They also committed to paying the actors and the team whose works were being streamed.
Not other theatres have managed to replicate that.
The discussion aims to deepen the dialogue on themes and trends that have emerged from March 2020 till now. Perhaps look for a possible way of action.
The talk series is called: Response-ability: Theatre Pedagogy in Changing Times.
It will be curated by Amy Russell, Founder & Director,Embodied Poetics.
Amy will also be moderating the talks of other speakers.
