Stanislavsky, M.Chekhov, Meyerhold’s Biomechanics, Tai-chi for performers, training by a method of improvisation, scene composition from an exercise to a performance. These are some of the elements uniquely transformed and combined in Ostrenko’s teaching system to suit the needs of contemporary performers, directors and teachers.

Participants will practically explore performers physicality as the principal creative instrument, the key to form and style an atmosphere and emotional palette in contemporary performance, stepping beyond the limits of normative text-based acting.
