Getting to know serial ways of storytelling and addressing popular formats
Developing narrative serial formats for theatre
Working in a team
Presentation-orientated work in a short space of time
If you’re committed enough, you can make any story work. I once told a woman I was Kevin Costner, and it
worked because I believed it. („Better Call Saul“)
At the annual conference of the "Dramaturgische Gesellschaft" in 2015 in Linz, the question of popular forms,
the popularity of theatre was at the centre. While quality TV series, as the novels and epics of our times, enjoy
great popularity, theatres are fighting for visitors. Of course, theatre is limited by its local nature (all the
attempts to make theatre more popular, such as twittering and live streaming are not to be considered here;
nor the difficult mobile versions of performances) and cannot compete with electronic media. But is the
popularity of (quality) TV series merely due to its medium, its availability regardless of space and time? Not at
all! The potential for addiction that serial storytelling has, lies in the exciting narrative techniques and
procedures, the developments in serial storytelling, the character identification, the cliffhangers and others
ingredients, which we want to explore and try out playfully in the Campus Week. While theatres are trying to
pick up discourses and current topics that are as short-lived as news headlines, and testing new ways of
working and formats on its stages in the city and other places, the internet and television are putting their faith
in the universality of the human condition: the power of the story.
In the Campus Week, we want to tell stories and tackle the "new" television formats practically and try to
develop our own ideas for serial storytelling for/in theatre.
The goal of this week, will be to develop an analogue live series in 5 groups, which we will show on the 19th of
September in a relay in and around the TONI Areal.

Programme (rough):
On Tuesday, 15.9., we will start the Campus Week with a kick-off (welcome and thematic introduction to the
week, presenting the plan for the week, announcing the workshop groups) and by developing a plot for our
theatre series. The work on the plot and the other characters will be supervised by a script writer; then the plot
will be distributed to 4-5 groups. In the following days, the group will develop their episode/season together
with a workshop leader. In the evening, there will be a lecture.
Wednesday - Saturday
We will start every day with a Super-Kondi-Body-Attack, a training which follows the idea of the popular. The
training will take place starting on Wednesday, from the 16th to 19th of September, always from 09:30 - 10:30,
in the entrance hall of the TONI Areal. After that, the separate groups will continue their work on the
episode/season. At lunch and in the evening, we will eat together. Every day, a different group will be
responsible for the preparation of the food. The duties will be distributed on Tuesday, the 15th of September.
There will also be further inputs by invited guests. On Saturday all the groups will come together and we will
work on the presentation of the series as a relay. The relay will take place in the early evening of the same
day.

Learning
Objectives
- Getting to know historical and contemporary cultural concepts
- Assessing their advantages and their appropriateness
- Critically assessing contemporary cultural phenomena (concepts and realities)
Content of the
Course
"Contemporary cultures are externally strongly linked and intertwined. Lifestyles do not end with the boundaries of individual cultures (the so-called national cultures), but rather they transcend these borders and appear in other cultures. The lifestyle of an economist, a scientist or a journalist is no longer just German or
French, but - if at all - defined by European or global ideas". (Welsch, Was ist eigentlich Transkulturalität?)
In this 3-day seminar, the concepts of transculturalism, interculturalism and multiculturalism are presented and
discussed in relation to the actual current cultural reality.

philosophy (theory of the transcultural society) and contemporary philosophy. Since 2000, he has been developing a consequent evolutionary understanding of man´s relationship to the world, taking both the natural and
cultural evolution into account.

Content of the
Course
You have to hurry, if you want to see something. Everything is disappearing. (Cezanne)
In the dystopian epistolary novel Im Land der letzten Dinge (1987) by Paul Auster, the protagonist Anna
Blume becomes witness to a wide-reaching disappearance. In a sealed-off, ghostly town, she is looking for
her brothers and sees things, houses, people, humanity, names and memories disappearing. This is not
too far from the description of reality in the critical, culture-pessimistic theories of modernity/postmodernity.
In these a present is described and a future is anticipated, in which and from which everything and
everyone is disappearing, yes, reality itself seems to disappear. In these theories, there is talk of an "art
without memory" (Virilio), of self-amputated people (McLuhan), virtual people without the capacity of
thought (Baudrillard), of the "agony of eros" (Han), of the "aesthetics of absence" (Kamper), of the
"progress of stultification" (Horkheimer/Adorno), of the "de-materialization of the world" (Kramer), of the
"destruction of man" (Anders), of the "end of theory" (Anderson), of the "end of history" (Fukuyama), of the
"man without content" (Agamben), of the exhausted self (Ehrenberg or of a mutilated imagination as a
consequence of the creative imperative of the meritocracy (Reckwitz, Rebentisch/Menke et al.).
What are these ideas of disappearance referring to? What perception of self and world are they based on,
these description of reality, the prophecies, these theories determined by critical processes of
disappearance? How do they influence or thoughts and actions? Is really everything gone or in the
process of disappearing? Is it not down to us to reverse this disappearance, to "organize this pessimism"
(Benjamin)?

You can perform competently in various different situations (speaking freely, presentation, speech) and are
credible when speaking with and in front of people.
Based on listening to your "favourite music" together and talking about it, you will be made aware of different
attitudes of speech. You will reflect your own attitudes of speech and those of others, will understand the
relationship of articulation and breath and will discover what your body does, when you are speaking with and
in front of people. Alongside individual speaking situations (such as a job interview, exam, presentation,
rehearsal), you will study the effect of language and body language, the handling of stage-fright and structures
of speech and argumentation and will rehearse your next public speeches - in front of and together with the
other course participants.

All MA students of the 1st and 2nd semesters. The participation of students from higher semesters is possible
upon special request.
Learning
Objectives
The seminar teaches basic skills to prepare for the Master thesis in a goal-oriented way. In addition, the participants will learn about the work with texts as an instrument of their own creativity.
Content of the
Course
“The whole hermeneutic ballet is a performance of exhaustion: either we master the text, then we can, but do not need to
deceive; or we do not master the text, in which case we cannot know, if we deceive or not”.
(Paul de Man, Kleist`s Über das Marionettentheater)
As the tricks and shoves of the trained bear in Kleist´s "Über das Marionettentheater", the reading and interpreting of texts is a difficult business. At the heart of this seminar, which aims to prepare students for writing
their Master thesis, is reading, research and independent writing. This will be tested on literary forms and media ranging from oil paintings to videos, from tweets to academic essays. By practicing close reading basic
skills of reading and interpreting will be gained in individual and group work. These insights will be transferred
to different forms of text and presentation, to develop a serendipity and develop core issues further.
Literature Used
Participants will receive the reading material as a pdf-file before the seminar.

Objectives
- artistic research methods
- studying antisemitism, exclusion and stigmatization of the other, foreignness
- developing material
- finding a performative form for non-dramatic texts
Content of the
Course
This course for acting methods focuses on research and gathering material on anti-semitism. Artists will be
confronted with reality and will work on the border where fiction and reality meet.
They should learn to "perform", rather than access a character emotionally. "actor" vs. "performer". Together
we will discuss the collected research results and try to develop a small play out of them. The author and
director Nuran David Calis will conduct interviews, develop a text out of these and will then bring it back to the
players. We will develop a machine for discourse; a discursive theatre as another form of theatre.
Comments
Nuran David Calis was born as the son of Turkish-Armenian immigrants in Bielefeld, where he grew up in the
socially difficult area Baumheide. Again and again growing up in difficult circumstances and living together with
people of different origins are the topics of his plays and theatre productions. Calis studied Directing at the
Otto-Falckenberg school in Munich and works as an author, theatre and film director. First, he directed short
films and video clips for hip hip bands. In 2003, his first play "Dog Eat Dog" was shown, which was presented
as part of the Authors´ Days at the Thalia Theatre in Hamburg in the same year. For his production of Schiller
´s "Die Räuber", Calis received the "Nestroy" theatre award in Vienna in 2006 in the category of best new
director. In the same year, he made the cinema film "Meine Mutter, mein Bruder und ich", for which he also
wrote the screenplay. His highly acclaimed treatment of Wedekind´s "Frühlings Erwachen!", which premiered
at the Schauspiel Hannover in 2007, was filmed for the ZDF in 2010. In 2011, he published his novel "Der
Mond ist unsere Sonne". On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of Georg Büchner, Calis will direct a
contemporary film adaption of the drama fragment "Woyzeck" for arte / 3sat. Nuran David Calis regularly
works at theatres in Bochum, Stuttgart and Berlin. At the Staatsschauspiel Dresden he already directed Henrik
Ibsen´s "Peer Gynt" and Tennessee Williams` "A Streetcar named Desire".

Objectives
The core of the work is learning approaches to physical and vocal techniques that provide students with the
skills for individual research on the body and voice in training and performance. Research is the very nature of
the acting process studied which then manifests itself in students' own investigation into acting. The MA in
acting aims to train the artist to be independent through a programme that gives the skills, confidence and
methods to develop their own practice.
Content of the
Course
RESIDENCY AT SONG OF THE GOAT THEATRE, WROCLAW, POLAND
The course will offer students 25 hours of practical training each week, led by members of the Song of the
Goat company who will teach their own unique approach to actor training. This method, which approaches the
performer in a holistic way, involves working from the body into voice, song and text work. It emphasis the flow
between movement, rhythm and sound both within the individual and the ensemble, with a view to developing
true partnership and support within this dynamic. Each of the company members will approach this from their
own particular strength: the voice and its connection to imagination and deep personal song, working with
physical impulses, text, presence and the state of readiness. Each student will also have the opportunity for an
individual tutorial.
The landscape of his imagination of the writings of Bruno Shulz will provide the framework of exploration.
Additionally there will be lectures each week by eminent academics contextualizing the company's work in the
long tradition of ensemble-research theatre work in Poland and Eastern Europe.

Content of the
Course
Studying and comparing different positions and methods of research over, with and through theatre,
based on concrete examples from research practice
Developing a project in the field of research through theatre
From Adam, the image of God, via Golem, the "unfinished man" created from clay and Nathanael´s Olimpia
from ETA Hoffmann´s "Der Sandmann", through to the avatars and "Real Humans" (Swedish TV series) since the beginning of time, man - especially artists and creatives - has been creating images of himself. In
recent times, these artificial humans, homunculi, living statues, androids or avatars are getting closer and
closer to being spitting images of their "creators". While the golem was rough, Frankenstein´s monster
cloddish and even Dracula easily recognized by his fangs, it is now becoming more and more difficult to
differentiate between "real" and "artificial" actors. Who were the mirror images and distorted images of an
imagined society before and who are they now? Which face carries the mask of individuality, that of a
narcissistic deconstruction, a targeted self-alienation or a collective proclamation of empathy like "Nous
sommes tous Charlie"? Who am I today, who am I allowed to be tomorrow? The monsters of my yearning find
the furrows of the "uncanny valley" in my own face, the selfie is only strange for the trigger. Or in short: Which
portrait does the researching artist create on stage and screen to recognize himself?
Accompanied by different inputs about research about, with and through theatre, the students will develop and
test research questions, as experts of their own practice, which will ultimately lead to projects of their own.

Objectives
The dialogue between body and space is an existential constant. We inhabit, cross and walk around spaces
with our body. Space is also a constant of drama. Through its dimension, proportion, texture and light, the
space is also a text. It speaks to us, about itself. The poetry of space - as Gaston Bachelard formulates in his
legendary book - will be our topic.
Content of the
Course
Choreography is a spatial art. It puts bodies into a relationship with space and other bodies. We will study the
grammar of bodies in space on the basis of various choreographies and test it. For speaking theatre,
choreographic skills offer the possibility to test an expanded form of theatre - beyond realism. The
choreographic theatre of Wilson, Deschamps, Charmatz, Kennedy, Castellucci or Thalheimer will be the object
of our research.
Literature Used
Gaston Bachelard, Die Poetik des Raums; an extended reading list will be announced in due time.

Objectives
The course fosters the ability to recognize the artistic challenge and potential in that, which is not immediately
accessible and to enter in a dialogue with this. It raises consciousness for the materialized traces of the history
of the landscape, shapes them selectively with artistic means or overwrites them. It strengthens the interest to
face the non-available artistically, which appears as an unknown zone between thought and action, and which
is too readily covered by routines. It tries to overcome disciplinary and ownership regulations by rising practical
variety and the unexpected.
Content of the
Course
Who wants to create theatre in public space has to accept various unavailabilities. Of course, these also exist
within the framework of productions created especially for theatre or exhibition spaces. But outside of such
frameworks, they are so strong and heterogenous that they demand special attention. Artistic production
breaks into property rights and disrupts daily actions and routines. The course is about recognizing these
based on the materialized sources of their history and evolution, testing them for their artistic potential and reinterpreting them in terms of content and form. Because we are also dealing with a mobile audience, the field
of tension of (artistic) intention-disruption/conflict and coincidence is subject to further rules and unpredictable
elements, including how the artistic object or artistic intervention is perceived.
This two-week course tackles all the questions that might arise with theoretical short inputs (see literature), in
combination with practical exercises along the Üetliberg line, where we will enter into an intense creative
dialogue with the places and their uncertainties, and which we want to reshape into thematic and aesthetic
events using material, light, sound and possibly also performers. Which materialized traces inspire us to
become creative? Which have we left out until now? Which external obstacles can be reinterpreted in terms of
content or aesthetics and lead to unexpected results? How can we deal with the fleeting nature of perception,
heightened further by the fact the audience is driving by? How can we gain another dimension? Which
materials have we overlooked thus far that could further strengthen our attitude between knowing, not-knowing
and not-not-knowing? Which light and sound spaces can be (re-)discovered and brought into unexpected and
exciting figurations? When should performers be used to get a message across? How to they relate to
environment, material, light and sound?

The course addresses the incalculability of artistic communication and perception. It picks up on the questions
arising in this case with the landscape and the passing audience, analyses them and explores different
practical-artistic solutions and develops these further. The implications of the changing daylight and weather
are also to be discussed - so participants should expect to also have a few sessions - as arranged together - in
the evening and at night.
On Thursday eveing of the 2nd course week, there will be an additional trip of the Üetliberg-Bahn after its last
scheduled trip. On this trip, we will summarize for an internal audience, what etudes we created.

Learning
Objectives
- Working on the immediacy of the personal physical expression
- Working on the contrast between unbridled strength / energy and stillness in choreographies.
- Developing a dance theatre sequence ready for performance on a set topic, from one´s individual movement
repertoire and a personal perspective.
- Mutual reflection of the working methods in all phases of the work.
Content of the
Course
The workshop is practice-oriented and gives a small insight into Ives Thuwis´ methods in his work with
adolescents to create dance theatre pieces. This way of working does not differentiate between professional
and non-professional performers. The target groups will bring different things to the collaboration. Ives Thuwis
will shape his energetic and touching projects from this.
Starting from personal imagination and the individual, physical possibilities, small scenes and choreographies
will be developed, deepened and polished. The will start from simple tasks, but also short, more or less
abstract phrases, questions or ideas. So language will turn into dance/movement in a very intuitive way.
Everyone will develop their own dance movement sequences individually and in the group: at the end of the
workshop the material will be compiled into a longer showing.
To limit the endless possibilities, Ives Thuwis is setting the following theme: What now? You´ve finished your
school: what now? You`ve finished your studies: what now? You´ve done the same job for 25 years: what
now? There are so many possibilities, so many decisions, so many crossroads, again and again. Doing a year
abroad or studying immediately? An apprenticeship? Maybe another Master after the Master? And shouldn´t I
do something else entirely before I´m too old?
The workshop closes with a presentation to internal guests.

Content of the
Course
Studying and comparing different models of splitting work in the process of theatre-making, based on
selected examples and by combining theory and practice (toolbox)
Identifying hierarchies in the artistic production process and describing them
Reflecting one´s own position as a director in the work with non-professional performers
Consciousness of the hierarchies in theatre work and of one´s responsibilities as a director
Currently the "order of theatre" (Hänzi) is being renegotiated in many shows. Performers are independent
subjects and directing themselves. Instead of the individual artist, the search for collective virtuosity or theatre
as a social art form are en vogue. By staging rehearsal processes, performance theatre reflects the power
structures in theatre on stage. Groups like She She Pop. Gob Squad, Showcase Beat le Mot or Monster Truck
almost totally renounce the position of a director and stage (themselves) in a collective. Not only the role of the
performer, but also of the artistic director is being redefined by all these tendencies.
In theatre pedagogic-artistic work with non-professional performers, the hierarchies in the rehearsal process
are determined by various factors which form the focus of this course: Which opportunities and risks arise from
the different levels of knowledge and the natural hierarchies among professionals and non-professionals? How
do different economic factors of the rehearsal process (time, space etc.) influence the artistic result? Which
role does the field of tension play that exists between the authorship of the performers and the responsibility
and decision-making-competence that lies in the hand of the director despite the shared authorship? Based on
theoretical inputs to the changing hierarchies over the course of theatre history, regulations of the use of
spaces and resources, the relationship of intention-conflict/crisis-coincidence etc. and also by exchanging
experiences in the work with non-professional performers, we will reflect the order of theatre-making and
develop a toolbox step by step. It will be designed to allow a productive handling of hierarchies in the theatrepedagogic practice and to facilitate that which can arise between knowing and not-knowing.

- Putting the idea of dramaturgy in relation to the wider idea of narration
- The attempt to bring dramaturgy in verbal narration and/or the many forms of media dramaturgy back to a
common core
- Promoting understanding for a concept of dramaturgy valid across all media, which does more than just explain what dramaturgy is
The inner world becomes visible via the social function of telling stories. Because of telling there is under standing. The telling makes understanding possible. The most profane but also the deepest questions about
dramaturgy are hardly ever raised in relation to modern theatre and media science:
With what means do people tell stories and why? What is the dialectic between medium (oral or less direct)
and the image of reality? What is the narrative and why does it take place (not only in what form)?
This seminar is a media-scientific excursion on the genealogy and origin of dramaturgy - to its archetypal form
and timeless aesthetic power.

Content of the
Course
"At the time that this story takes place, even the merging lanes joining a far-away, remote country path,
entered into a roundabout, and this on the entire continent (...) there was hardly anything straight (...) you
always had to bring these roundabouts behind you and then another and another and so on". (Peter Handke)
This seminar aims to reconstruct in what contexts the roundabout as a metaphor for movement and stagnation
appears and what higher meanings this has - on the basis of selected literary and theoretical texts. Is there
evidence for the ambivalence of the roundabout in our time, which is characterized by aimlessness,
indifference, repetition and endless creativity, permanent redefinition etc.? What does this mean for our image
of the world, our thinking and our narrative practices and theories to approach the world? What interpretations
of the world does the roundabout offer and which (new) ways of storytelling does this make possible?
And finally, we want to explore how much philosophical conceptual potential lies in the metaphoric language,
the image language in general and specifically in the example of the roundabout. What are the boundaries of
terms? How can a term, rigid by nature, represent movement? Or put in another way: just as the term sugar is
not sweet, the term dog does not park, it is not the term of the roundabout which turns.

The colloquium fosters the skill not to see the "model" only as a helpful tool for set designs, but to extend this
idea to a model of thought and use it in artistic practice.
Content of the
Course
The complexity of social and political processes cannot be presented on stage through text alone. We will
analyse a current event of international politics, visualise it as a model and create a theatrical installation from
this starting point.

Objectives
The mask is generally understood as a symbol of the theatre and acting. In Latin the word persona originally
meant the mask of an actor. It served as the interface between the actor and the spectator, indicating the
transformation of the actor into an artificial figure pertaining to the theatre rather than real life. In early Christian
discourse the meaning of persona was transformed. It no longer referred to the mask, but the person behind it.
By concealing the face, the mask became a metaphor for falsehood and deception. Nowadays ‘person’ is
connected with individuality and identity, having lost its historical association with the theatre. We will use the
mask as a device to analyse and conceptualise different modes of theatrical and social behaviour. Moreover,
we will discuss examples of the depiction and employment of masks in the visual arts, in film, as well as in
contemporary popular culture. How do the arts reflect the paradoxical nature of the mask as a tool to conceive
both identity and otherness?

Content of the
Course
European theatre looks back on a history of two and a half thousand years. The word theatre is derived from
Greek théatron (Latin theatrum), literally meaning ´a space for observation´. Whether the actors' main form of
expression is speaking, singing or dancing, or the actors are non-human as in puppet theatre, whether we
refer to Greek tragedy or contemporary Physical Theatre, the term ´theatre´ applies to a large variety of genres
and forms from the very origins until today. In this theory course we will attempt to identify constant elements
that constitute ´theatre´ throughout the ages and analyse how these elements are related to one another in
specific theatrical forms.
The aim of the course is to establish a general model that we can use as a heuristic tool to recognize and
describe significant historical and structural changes in the system of theatre.
Can we learn to think theatrically?

The workshop presents the basics of the acting work of Théâtre du Soleil.
Content of the
Course
The mask, once liberated from all clichés that sourround it, is a pedagogic vehicle of excellence in order to arrive at the incarnation of a figure.
The aim is to develop the imaginative of the actor through the use of masks, mainly those from Bali and Commedia dell'Arte.
Beginning with these instruments we confront the work of the actor under different aspects. We start from im provisation, active listening, being in the present and awareness of the body.
The course is divided into two phases:
- gaining rhythmical and musical awareness through physical work
- searching and creating physical transformation through improvisation
Literature Used
For the first phase participants are asked to bring along musical instruments (it is not significant to be able to
play them!)
For the second phase students should procure clothes, material, scarves and pillows for being able to create
volume.

Learning
Objectives
The goal of the workshop is a basic understanding of the principles of the phenomena of puppets.The workshop is primarily about discovering the physicality of puppets and comparing it with the physicality of the actor;
it is also about the possibility of using puppets in theatrical performances.
Content of the
Course
We will discover through different approaches what puppets really are and what puppets can be. We will take
a short historical tour and will realize that puppets have been connected with human culture from its beginning.
Then through various exercises we will try to research the basic principles of puppets and human movement,
their similarities, differences and their potential. We will also try to understand how puppets can help us in lear ning about our movement, our mind, our emotions, and ourselves. Finally we will try to discover ways how to
use all this gained knowledge in concrete theatre work.
Literature Used
Students are asked to:
- Read the book by Henrik Jurkowski „The Metamorphosis of puppet theatre in XX century“
- Learn the basic thesis by Edward Gordon Craig included in „The Actor and the Übermarionette“ (1907)
- Prepare a short speech about your previous meeting with puppets. (As a spectator of a puppet show, or a
meeting with an actor who works with puppets).

Based on texts, discussions and excursions, we will pursue the question which concepts and models, theories,
terms and ideas can help us approach art events, which are explicitly not theatre. How can one talk about
music? Which theories can explain art? What happens in film that has nothing to do with acting? First
experiences in dealing with texts and cultural events should help the participants find strategies they can use for
their own work (for instance on characters), by studying theories that lie outside of theatre.
The excursions on the 16th and 17th in the evening are an obligatory part of the course.

In the contemporary theatre landscape new, non-dramatic forms of narration abound, such as
autobiographical, multimedia performances, narrative theatre installations, role plays, game performances,
audio or video walks. How does narration work in these cases? What does it mean to tell stories in theatre
(today)? The goal of this course is to pursue these questions in theory and practice. For this, we will explore
various narrative performance practices of recent years (such as from Forced Entertainment, She She Pop,
Bobby Baker, SIGNA Eva Meyer-Keller, Lone Twin, Janet Cardiff), discuss narrative theory and experiment
with new forms of storytelling.
Nina Tecklenburg (Dr. phil.), is a performance creator and theatre scientist. As a performer, co-director and
dramaturge, she has created numerous projects since 2002 and worked with various artists and performance
groups. Together with Till Müller-Klug, she is co-founder of the performance group Interrobang. She has been
a longstanding guest artist of the peformance collectives She She Pop and Gob Squad, a member of the
English theatre group Lone Twin Theatre and has worked with the Lebanese artist Rabih Mroué, the
Norwegian Performance company Baktruppen and the Swiss choreographer and performer Martin Schick.
Projects she was involved with have been shown at the Heidelberger Stückemarkt, the Wiener Festwochen,
the Kunsten Festival des Arts in Brussels, the Barbican in London and in the Public Theatre New York, among
other venues and festivals. As a theatre scientist, she has worked in the special research area "cultures of the
performative" from 2006 to 2010 at the Freie Universität Berlin, has taught in Hildesheim at the Institute for
Media, Theatre and Popular Culture, at the "Ernst Busch" drama school and has published numerous essays
(for example in The Drama Review, Theatre Research International, Performance Research). Her book about
new narrative forms in contemporary theatre („Performing Stories. Erzählen in Theater und Performance“) has
been published by transcript.

1st session: Kochen als Kunstgattung / Cooking as Art Form
This course looks at cooking under the aspect of quality. What has to be considered for the compositions of a
sequence of dishes, what known about the ingredients? And how are stylistic means used dramaturgically
(consistency, surface, shapes, repetition, contrast etc.)? What does this have to do with quality? What is the
role of the cook? Here is what the teacher says about the course:
"I propose cooking a complex sequence of dishes together, starting from the rawest possible state of the
ingredients: that means, animals straight from the butcher with feathers, fur, scales etc. Finally we can eat the
sequence together or invite guests to present our menu to. We do not cook vegetarian, but of course
vegetarians are welcome!"
By inviting Onno Faller as a teacher, this toolbox relates to the cooking workshop of the Städelschule in
Frankfurt (http://www.staedelschule.de/kochwerkstatt.html).
2nd session: Stephan Müller in New York
In the years between 1970 to 1980, New York was the Mecca of the arts: be it film, theatre, fine arts, music,
dance - New York was the home of the creative avant-garde, including artists such as Andy Warhol, Robert
Wilson, Merce Cunningham, John Cage, Martin Scorsese. In the epicentre of the arts, the Swiss citizen
Stephan Müller studied in a transdisciplinary field at the New York University - where many artists taught (not
least to earn money). This environment was a unique source of inspiration for the Swiss director, who

Content of the
Course
Theatre as a place of gathering has always been a place for public discussion and is, therefore, ideally suited
to address different perspectives on history. Why should we leave history to the formatted narration on
television? Theatre allows us to talk about it with more conflict and precision. For a certain time, the theatre
creates a public, coincidental community of performers and visitors.
Which perspectives can the writing of history take? History is a narration, a collection of events, which were
recorded in the service of ideas, ideologies and which - if we see these texts as stories - also reflect those.
History exists as transmission, representation and interpretation in the form of images, texts and other types of
records.
But which events are included in the writing of history, which excluded?
Who is the author? What is the perspective of the texts? What are their strategies?
In this project, we will pursue the question, if there is a necessity to tell history and will look for methods and
scenic possibilities to address this question in a theatrical framework. At the centre will be the work with texts,
principles of montage, the creation of a text landscape and the question how history is dealt with and in whose
interest. We will analyze sources and try out different approaches to the material. Which texts will remain after
scenic experimentation? In what kind of stage-spaces can documentary theatre take place? And how does an
official report relate to a private memory?

Content of the
Course
Intensive individual rehearsals and rehearsals in small groups with acting, speech and singing teachers to
develop the individual audition programmes. These include two monologues, a partner scene and a song.
The first weeks of work in HS15 will begin with the presentation of three independently rehearsed audition
monologues, two of which will be chosen for continued work with teachers. The following rehearsal weeks
always begin with the presentation of the current state of the monologues and in Calendar Week 7, there will
be a presentation of two new, independently chosen and rehearsed partner scenes. A suitable scene will be
chosen for the following three rehearsal weeks. The main focus of this phase is the continued work on the
monologues and scenes. There will be a presentation of the state of the work at the beginning and end of
every week. This shows that it is expected that in between rehearsal weeks, the students will work on their
parts and scenes independently.

The FELDENKRAIS METHOD "Consciousness through Movement" chooses simple movement sequences as a
means to discover one´s own movement patterns, find new ways for change and achieve a dynamic equilibrium,
as well as free, strong and precise actions.
The basis for this quality of action is the clarity of the supporting skeleton and makes is possible
- to have an effortless good posture
- to breathe freely
- to act from the centre
- to be present
The last part of each lesson gives space for the individual consolidation and integration of what has been learnt.
Maria Wille is a professional dancer (Tschumi Stein, Bern / Rotterdamse Dansacademie). She has worked as a
freelance dancer and toured to Europe, the United States and Asia with dance productions. She works as a
Feldenkrais instructor and also teaches modern dance and movement. She has been a movement teacher at
the BUA for years.

The course is in German language and is intended for MA Theatre students without a foundation in acting, who
would like to explore and expand the expressive potential of their voice and speech.
When doing choric speaking, speech is the focus. Rhythm, melody, accentuation and articulation are defined
depending on the semantics and acting attitude and spoken like this collectively.
At the same time, participation in this course allows students to get to know an antique form of theatre, which is
gaining more and more significance again in the modern theatre and performance landscape.
The main focus is to develop a dramatic text in choric form. The following areas will be trained by doing so:
posture, sound of the voice, articulation, hearing
stamina, strength, concentration
communication skills, conflict handling, creativity
At the end of the course, the result will be presented in a small performance.
Marianne Oertel: studied Speech Science and Phonetics at the Martin-Luther University in Halle.
She works as a speech trainer for theatre and musical theatre in Germany and Switzerland.
She teaches speech at public music and theatre academies.
She won a directing award for staging speaking choirs. Since 2014, Marianne Oertel has been teaching Speech
in the Theatre Division of the BUA.

The workshop introduces five fundamental tools for individual creativity and group composition. The tools are
applicable to any physical expression regardless of theatrical genre or level of experience. The workshop
focuses on experiential understanding though it is not necessary to physically practice these tools. Participants
will work alone, in duos and in groups. The course is taught in English though German words do find their way
in whenever they can.

The description of the concrete workshop was not yet ready in time for publication in this list of courses.
The workshop results will be presented in the BONE festival.
Ann Liv Young was born on the Outer Banks of North Carolina and has been creating dance work for over
eight years. She is one of the youngest artists whose work has been presented at major venues in New York
City such as Dance Theater Workshop, Danspace Project at St. Mark's Church, Brooklyn Museum, Flea
Theater, Judson Church and The Children's Foundation of Harlem. Her work has also been presented in
Virginia, North Carolina, London, Vienna, Washington D.C., New Mexico, Montana and Philadelphia. Young's
most recent production, Michael, will be shown at Dance Theater Workshop in October 2005 and will continue
to be worked on in France.
Young received her high school diploma in Theater and Dance from North Carolina School of the Arts in 1999
and her B.A. in Choreography and Textile Design from Hollins University in 2003. She received choreography
scholarships to attend Hollins University as well as the Laban Centre in London and four years at the American
Dance Festival in Durham, North Carolina.
Ann Liv Young's creations are essentially a reflection of her life, inspired by her experiences with her dancers,
family, collaborators and passerby. The ultra personal becomes the material she molds for performance.
Young's mission is to create work that is honest in its inception, creation and execution. Her work combines text,
music and choreography to build scenes that set up ideas, images and relationships and then destroy them.
Young's text is explicitly sexual, emotional and blunt, but it is always delivered in a manner that is not. The overt
drama of her work is subdued by the realness of this text. Her work exemplifies constant contrast in all its
layers. Audiences are provoked and forced to examine their role in the presentation of dance and performance.
They must determine their place as supporters, mockers, posers or subjects.
Young creates fantastical sets for the comfort of her dancers and in an effort to take the audience to a unique
space that is not necessarily the stage. She often works with live animals on stage, forcing natural and odd

relationships between these animals and the performers. A key component of Young's process maintains that
all rehearsals must take place in her apartment. The stage is then set in the manner of her apartment with its
atypical decor. In this way, the work is created with life surrounding it; her dog is walking around, roommates are
doing laundry and the phone rings. The sense of focus for the performers and the work is more immediate and
real than that created in a studio.
Ann Liv Young's work, creation process, titles and intentions are forward and literal resulting in layered,
provocative, contrived and thoughtful work that breaks barriers in dance performance.
"Whatever her whim or impulse, she lays it out before us without question of purpose or value. There is 100%
sincerity and commitment in every part of the work, making each outlandish situation ten times more fascinating
because it's not phony, flimsy, or calculated.....Whatever she's doing - and it's hard to pin down - it's truly
magnetic."

The module Individuelle Vertiefung (IV) gives students the time and space to develop artistic and theoretical
ideas further, on the basis of a personal question they wish to pursue. The module ends with a presentation of
the results. Depending on the question, the presentation can take the form of a try-out, a practical presentation
or a lecture. The students will be individually supervised by their respective mentors during the course.
The Individuelle Vertiefung can serve as a step towards the students` Master project.
At the beginning of the IV students have to set themselves a precise question or task and submit it in writing
(submission form) until the 16th of November 2015. The IV begins on the 7th of December 2015 with a
group session, in which the different plans are presented. The presentations are on the 22nd and 23rd of
January.
Handing in the written work on time and participating in the presentation are compulsory!

Content of the
Course
In this semester, the research toolbox 'A la recherche de la recherche' is offered in combination with the
Individuelle Vertiefung. This way research tasks and questions apply directly to the students´ own projects.
The contents of the toolbox will be distributed on 5 individual sessions:
1st session: Recherche advanced (Yeboaa Ofosu, Sibylle Heim)
The topic of the first session is advanced artistic and theoretical research in relation to current or upcoming
projects. It´s about focusing the topic and finding a concrete question.
2nd-4th session: Forschendes Denken im eigenen Projekt (Yeboaa Ofosu, Steph Lichtensteiger)
The students´ projects will be examined for their research content. Approaches to this research aspect will be
found, plans made for its execution and integration into the project as a whole. The students´ creativity will be
brought into a larger theoretical context. This is intended to help them develop artistic and/or theoretical
questions and work on these in their own artistic projects or use them to reflect on their work (esp. in relation
to their own MA thesis). If relevant to the course, current BUA research projects will be shown.
5th session: Forschendes Theater (Yeboaa Ofosu and guests)
To conclude, there will be a lively encounter with groups, projects, approaches and individuals from theatre
that do research as part of their work. Based on the example of Schauplatz International, there will be a critical
discussion about research in the field of theatre.

from Fine Art, Music, Literature and Theatre come together to study the idea of research together.
In this toolbox
- the terms art and research are related in different ways
- researching artists from Fine Art, Music, Literature and Theatre are introduced (presentation of BUA research
projects)
- core terms of research are defined and related to the students´ own work, by doing research actively and
using the web tool «ForschungsWort»
The toolbox requires some preparation: See the mailing 2 weeks before the course begins.

Content of the
Course
In relation to his interview project, Hans Ulrich Obrist calls his archive of over 100 conversations, a small
contribution "against forgetting" and says about the technique: "My interviews are more like strolls, no an end
in and of themselves, but an exploration, a ping pong between coincidence and control".
So this toolbox is dedicated to the explorative potential of the interview. The interview is not just a well
established form for an artist´s talk, but is also common in the literary business as an author´s interview and
the questioning of living artists often accompanies the sale of one of their works. The interview is used to gain
knowledge about people and their actions, in order to make these accessible to a broad audience and make it
possible to interpret the experienced information.
It is widely applied as a research technique, but also as an artistic practice used in many different ways and
above all: given a certain shape.
This toolbox is an introduction to the technique of the interview; it demonstrates different interview formats and
shows how interviews can be used in art and public. Finally, it will also be about conducting an interview and
testing if the developed questions aid the research method. The toolbox addresses the issue how interviews
are used in the arts, what they are and what they can do - together with guests and based on examples.
Ideally students should bring a piece of work or an idea for a piece of work, because the plan is that they use
an interview as part of a project.

The Forschungsmittwoch offers an insight into the research activity at the BUA. In this series, research
projects are presented and discussed. Partly current or finished BUA projects are presented, partly national
and international guests are invited, partly students can also present their work or their approaches as young
researchers. Aside from these projects, questions relating to the relevance of research for the different
Departments and research in the arts in general are to be discussed.
Students will get an insight into the BUA research activity and will have the chance to participate in inspiring
discussions.
For the current event, see the BUA event calendar.

Objectives
During and after their studies, students lay the foundation for their future life. Earning money moves into their
focus and professional life differs greatly from student life. More or less subconsciously, individual ideas about
private life also shape early professional decisions.
Jobs and private tasks, such as household, childcare, voluntary work, as well as personal interests have to be
balanced. Who is in a relationship, has to look after their own goals, while also respecting those of their
partner and find solutions both can accept, in order to avoid stereotypical roles.
This process-oriented workshop allows you to think about your short- and long-term goal, the balance of
professional and private life, but also different life models, social and institutional frameworks, as well as
suitable negotiation strategies.
You will learn tools for a check-up of your life-domain-balance, your professional and private goals. These will
make it easier for you to assess, where you stand. So you can avoid overworking and taking care of your
mental and physical health.

To acquire an understanding of contemporary dramatic writing since Beckett.
Content of the
Course
Michel Corvin will present some of the concepts that he develops in his book "La lecture innombrable des
textes du théâtre contemporain" to be published in June 2015. This book is an attempt to study the question of
contemporary dramatic writing by answering these questions: how does contemporary writing play with the
disappearance of writing standards and how does it consequently implicate a change in the perspective of
directing a play? This approach will be supported by historical and aesthetic elements and will seek to analyze
the creation and the reception of theatre plays.

Content of the

With Le Film des questions (Éd. Plaine, 2014) of the French writer Franck Smith, we will seek to interrogate
the meaning of video material on stage and the relation between text and images. How images and “new
technologies” imply a new scenic writing, that we could call “dramatology”? We’ll explore different projection
possibilities and aim at creating short individual and collective creations.

- Shaping and realizing the form that relates to the given objective
Content of the
Course
This workshop will be held at two different times.
In the first week, students will conceive a scenic dispositive based on a text (theatrical, sociological,
philosophical, political etc.). They will have to address some questions: the first question is “what”: What do I
want to do, what can I do or do I have to do? The second question is “why”: Why should I do it? The answer to
this question will provide an intimate link with the projected piece. The third question is “how?”: How should I
represent this project? The fourth question is “what for?”: What do I think translates to the audience?
The second part of the workshop will give the students the possibility to work on their projects with comedians
and will show how this collaboration can deepen the efficiency and meaning of their projects.

This workshop will be held in two different parts:
The first part of the workshop will be a historical presentation of the different periods of the development of
German theatre, from Lessing to contemporary artists. It will focus on the specificities of German theatre and
its great attention to dramaturgy. The second part of the workshop will highlight the gap between a written
project and the reality of the stage. Through an analysis of a realistic scene, we’ll investigate the staging
possibilities of the scene, the different steps towards staging and the tools needed to transfer ideas onto the
stage and into the bodies of actors.

This workshop introduces a brief overview of the current state of the art in contemporary technologies for
stage performance and discusses the considerations for their use. Particular attention will be paid to the issues
these technologies bring to the performance: how they change the way a story can be told on stage and how
this changes the relationship between audience and performer. Care will be taken to cover specific
technologies and issues of relevance to contemporary transdisciplinary art.

This workshop will seek to explore post-Beckett writing in British theatre. It will be centered around the figures
Martin Crimp / Caryl Churchill / Simon Stephens. « Black theater » will have a double meaning: the workshop
will be a directing projection through description only. After an immersion in the plays, students will have to
project their staging. They will describe it as if it was done for a visually impaired audience. At the end of the
workshop, students will have to present their projects only helped by light and sound effects.

Grasping the theoretical issues at stake and the modalities of autofiction in theatre.
Content of the
Course
This course will be given by two complementary figures: a dramaturge and theorist, Arielle Meyer McLeod, and
an actress and director, Natacha Koutchoumov. It will therefore mix a theoretical insight on autofiction with an
analysis of the place of its interpretation on a stage.
Autofiction, as a topical genre, appeared quite recently on the contemporary scene. First explored in literature,
the genre still represents a new theoretical field in theater studies. The lecture will firstly expose a theoretical
background that will attempt to define the notion of autofiction and allow to describe the “I” expressed,
questioned and blurred in it.
The “I” at the core of autofiction will be discussed and its function will be analyzed through the scenic
instances of Angélica Liddell, Amir Reza Koohestani, Falk Richter, Denis Maillefer and Christiane Jatahy.

This course aims at explaining and experimenting with the production of an artistic project. What is the cultural
strategy in Switzerland? What types of financial support can an artist obtain? How is it possible to collaborate
with institutions (state, theatres, festivals, art council)?
The contemporary artist needs an administrative strategy to create art. Which strategies are on the market?
Should an artist be his own producer? Should his artistic projects influence the way he`ll produce his artwork?
Does the production need to evolve with each project? Should an artist aim at an « artistic career » ?

Content of the
Course
For many years, Bruno Tackels has been a keen observer of the contemporary scene. Witnessing its
evolutions, transformations and innovations, he specialized in the study of stage writing as a strategy. He
dedicated some of his writing to the following artists, insisting on their common methodology of work: Roméo
Castellucci and la Societas Raffaello Sanzio, François Tanguy and Théâtre du Radeau, Anatoli Vassiliev,
Rodrigo Garcia, Pippo Delbono, Ariane Mnouchkine and Théâtre du Soleil, Mathias Langhoff. Classifying them
as stage writers is a way to say that their manner of thinking theater has similarities: the conceptual tool
behind this assertion has to be more than a formula.
This lecture aims at looking for a genealogy of stage writing.
