 Scenes of Struggle and Resistance – Workshop with Di Trevis

5 Days – in Berlin

How does the theatre respond when the world is in chaos? 

This is an intensive acting workshop where we will examine how actors and the theatre have harnessed their  techniques in bold and novel ways to depict conflict and the moral decisions people must take in the face of their own and others struggle :where theatre” not only depicts society but try to change it ”

I will examine epic as well as naturalistic texts examining means of conveying  raw emotion and how hard “questions of humanity ” are arrived at “.

Drawing on my own experience  in developing ” cultural resistance “- training  acting groups who toured  populations under occupation and turned  stories of hardship into drama, we will look at work about Russian, Irish, American and Palestinian conflict involving songs, poems, heightened physical depiction as well as text analysis and pure acting exercises.

„Di’s workshop was incredibly transformative. Her teachings make you feel completely grounded in yourself and willing to take bold risks. She also might be the funniest person you will ever meet.”Tate
“I loved Di’s Chekhov workshop and took so much away from our 4 days together. Di is an incredible teacher and her love of theatre and actors is apparent in every directions she gives. She shows her respect for actors by meeting them where they are, but also by not letting them off the hook when she knows there is more to be discovered in a particular moment. By working towards scenes that felt alive and like works in progress rather than polished finished products, I got a real sense for the richness of the material, which allowed me to be more present and make more interesting, truthful choices. I hope to work with Di again soon!”Anna
