A Performance from Conception to Perception
A seminar for teachers and artists
Schedule
Running time three parts per 90 minutes. Intermissions upon request.
Seminar leader Iva Moberg
The seminar follows the viewing of the production Brothers and Sisters and explains, in detail and with practical examples, the creative methods and principles of the NIE group, a recipient of several important international awards for its outstanding two decades of work. The training will be in two parts, tackling the individual phases in the life of a production for young audience:
- conception – a concept of the idea, designing the method and the procedure, testing the merit of the theme
- development – research, gathering and organising materials, creative process, birth of the show
- perception – performing the show, including the audience into accompanying workshops and debates, developing the show
The content gradually shifts from the perspective of creating to the aspect of watching, with the emphasis on the key characteristics of the processes, important effects of the results and essential tasks of the adults in all the phases of life of any quality production for the young.
