Bring Joy to the City - Street theater with Adrian Schvarzstein

Workshop description

Adrian Schvarzstein is a versatile performance artist who has performed on international stages and who has inspired audiences in this country through his involvement with La Strada and Styriarte. In this course, he introduces the art of theatrical, humorous interaction with the audience on the street and conveys basic ideas for understanding street theater and the theatrical backdrops that bring together performers, spectators and the public space. Through practical exercises and character development we will immerse ourselves in this fascinating artistic discipline and on the first two days we will prepare to perform on the street and develop a play. On the third day we will present our performance "Bring Joy to the City” in Pöllau, where all participants will create an intervention in the city using the skills they have just learned.an interesting experience for all who are open to discovering that the street is ours!

The workshop is suitable for beginners as well as for professional actors who want to gain experience in street theater.
