Dear friends and colleagues,
We like to inform you about all upcoming projects and opportunities to join the World Theatre Training Laboratory with its different forms of research under the artistic direction of Dr. Jurij Alschitz and his Team of Teachers.
The central project of AKT-ZENT as research centre of the International Theatre Institute is the publication of the 10 - volume World Theatre Training Library, which shall reflect training exercises world-wide.

As starting point, the artistic director Dr. Jurij Alschitz invites you to participate in the
International Directors’ and Trainers’ Colloquium
in Berlin, 3rd - 8th of January 2013.
Theatre Ethics from Stanislavsky till the present
“… The Artist's ethics are the preservation and nurture of our own artistic life, and demands constant perfection, no less than the preservation and nurture of the creative life with the partners and Theatre in general. I think the main problems of our theatrical life today are not of financial or technological origin, but are rooted in the ethics of our art, and our life in art. The time has come to ask ourselves about ethics in theatrical art.“
