Odin Teatret

Odin Teatret

Roberta Carreri
4/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
The Odin Teatret was founded in 1964 in Norway and for 34 years has been based in Holstebro, Denmark, away from the capital and the center for theater. It also tours in other countries. What makes this theater special in comparison to others, is that "it comprehends theatre as a specific social and spatial reality, often expressed through the metaphor of a monastery, ghetto or exile". The theater laboratory has many other activities than the mere creation of theater performances; it also conducts seminars, conferences and meetings with theater people from around the world. It has published as series of books and magazines about theater technique and theory and produced films and videos. In her Introduction, Julia Varley tells the history of the Odin Teatret and its creative philosophy of presenting and studying performing art, going at least one step further than other theaters or theater laboratories by "turning tot he tradition of theatre, with the ambition of redefining the actor's organic artistic process and artistic scenic behaviour." She adds that the Odin Teatret "has developed various techniques of improvisation and training that permit a self-definition in which the actor represents himself, his profession and his function, and in which the role of the character is of secondary importance." This is a remarkable book for actors, dancers, choreographers and others involved in creative theater production. It is also a valuable resource for anyone who is captivated by the art and craft of the theater.
