Egill Pallson, artistic Director of the Arctic Theatre inTromsö - Coming up Monday Lectures
At September 21st Saana Lavaste, director and teacher from the Uniarts Helsinki, in her lecture/discussion ‘The Art of Leadership’ will discuss following questions:
What does it mean “to have a vision”? Does a director always need to have one? What does leadership mean as an artistic tool? How can we train and develop this tool? Should we separate “the artist” and “the leader” in us? Is leading one´s own work the most difficult part of leadership?
Saana Lavaste from Uniarts Helsinki At September 28th you have the choice between two lectures:
Egill Palsson, director, teacher and artistic director of the Artic Theater in Tromsø, Norway, will go through the vocabulary and tools in the Action Analyses by Maria Knebel.
Also on September 28th Rodolfo García Vázquez, director and teacher at the SP Escola de Teatro, Sao Paulo, Brazil, will talk about ‘Digital theatre’.

- Start of Monday Lectures
Dear Alexandria Nova family,
we’re really happy to announce that our Monday Lectures will start on September 7th 2020 with a “Live feed of a ritual with pedagogical commentary from Finnish forest” as the leader of the Workshop, Eero-Tapio Vuori aka Eki from TEAK in Helsinki calls it.
One week later on September 14th 2020, Una Þorleifsdóttir who is Associate Professor at LHI in Reykjavik, will discuss and propose questions on “Directing as a collaborative act” with as different collaborators as playwrigths and actors. She will talk about creating spaces of listening and intuition and about how to follow your own artistic vison while at the same time making room for the artistic vision of others.
