Odin Festival is an international theoretical/practical festival for people wishing to acquire a better knowledge of Odin Teatret’s activities. The programme includes training sessions, chosen Odin Teatret’s performances and work demonstrations currently on repertoire, film screenings, meetings with Eugenio Barba, lectures and discussions. The programme is conducted in English. The Odin Festival lasts six days from 7:30am to 10pm, and offers the opportunity of a full immersion in Odin Teatret’s diverse fields as a laboratory. The actors and Eugenio Barba lead the practical sessions of “The Odin Tradition” which is composed of different artistic visions, personal techniques and shared values. Each actor gives the participants an insight into their individual training and creative approach to a performance – their actor’s dramaturgy. The meetings with Eugenio Barba are a time of dialogue concerning directing, group dynamics, pedagogical research, survival strategy, intercultural performance, management and the working process of the International School of Theatre Anthropology (ISTA). The programme also includes meetings with Odin Teatret’s musicians, technicians and administrative staff, the preparation of a barter with local people. The Odin Festival provides an opportunity to get to know how a theatre group developed into a laboratory through the actors’ individual training and performances, the specific planning of tours, the building of artistic alliances and an international network of collaboration, the strengthening of permanent bonds with the local community, the building up of a living archive providing access to the vast amount of documents and audio-visual materials about Odin Teatret’s history and about many theatre personalities and groups from the theatre of the past fifty years. The Odin Festival, open to a maximum of 50 participants, is addressed to theatre and dance practitioners, scholars and anthropologists, cultural activists and politicians – all those interested in Odin Teatret’s multiple fields of action. Participants can choose between active participation and being observers. The participation fee includes the cost of food and lodging.
