GERMANY VERSUS NORWAY: INTERCHANGING THEATRICAL STRATEGIES
The Other Eye is a series of four seminars, led by Performing Arts Hub Norway in collaboration with the Norwegian embassy in Berlin, focusing on the relationships between Norwegian and German theatre. Through the seminars theatre specialists from both the theoretical and practical field will delve deeper into theatre discourses finding place in the two countries.
The seminars are in the field practical-theory, where theoretical research on the practical field helps to give a clearer picture of what actually is happening. After every seminar, Performing Arts Hub Norway produces articles documenting and discussing the themes of the seminars. At the end of the last seminar an anthology with the articles from the four seminars will be published.
The first seminar took place during the Ibsen Festival in Oslo on the 25th August 2012, in collaboration with The National Theatre and BIT Teatergarasjen. The theme was to map the general picture concerning the dynamics between German and Norwegian theatre, with a special focus on Ibsen in both countries. Seminar #2, #3 and #4 will dig deeper into more specific themes:
THE OTHER EYE #2 – Education
The development of theatre art is affected by the artistic approach, the methods, content and structures of education. This also applies on how the said development is received in the public discourse and research.
How have the educational institutions changed and evolved over the last 20 years? How has the development of education manifested itself in practice, both in art production and intellectual discourse? We will raise these questions in a panel debate consisting of representatives from distinguished Norwegian and German educational institutions.
Keynote speakers: Siren Leirvåg (The University of Oslo) and Christel Weiler (Institut für Theaterwissenschaft der Freien Universität Berlin)
Panel: Karmenlara Ely (The Norwegian Theatre Academy in Fredrikstad), Hans Henriksen (Oslo National Academy of the Arts), Keld Hyldig (The University of Bergen), André Eiermann (Köln), Martin Gruber (Ernst-Busch Hochschule für Schauspielkunst), Siren Leirvåg, Christel Weiler
PRACTICAL INFORMATION:
The seminar is open and free of charge. There will be a lunch break with an opportunity to have a bite to eat at Kafè Kippers. The seminar will be conducted in English.
