| Pirandello. Grafted. Etude Practice |
|
Anatolij Wasiljew Laboratory prepared inside the “Masters in Residence” programme About the laboratory We do not work on Luigi Pirandello’s texts. We work on the techniques of “transitional structures”, using the author Pirandello as research material. We work with action – our work is neither illustrative nor imitative. We work on controlling the spontaneous impulses that lead to action, from reception to realization. We work on the compositional configuration of the free text of speech and action in parallel to the authorial source. We work on developing precise structures through improvisation. Etude practice. This is what we do during our research, but mostly during the educational process which is a necessary stage leading to research.
