Seminar information

As part of his contributing to the Onassis AiR community George Koutlis organizes a seminar on Active Analysis.

Active Analysis is a method of working on a text―while preparing its staging―developed by Konstantin Stanislavski and outlined and further advanced by his student, Maria Knebel. The analysis of theatrical plays and roles takes place through testing and improvisations.

The seminar offers a theoretical introduction to the basic tools of the method of Active Analysis and then their application to a scene from the play “The Seagull” by Anton Chekhov.
