Performances, work demonstrations, film screenings and exhibitions to mark Odin Teatret’s 50th anniversary 2–7 September 2014 The Grotowski Institute and Wroc³aw Contemporary Theatre Tickets are available through biletin.pl. Our Office does not sell tickets or accept bookings. To celebrate Odin Teatret’s 50th anniversary, the Grotowski Institute is organizing Odin Festival, a six-day practical and theoretical meeting with Odin Teatret, which will include closed events (training, barter and meetings with Eugenio Barba and members of Odin Teatret) as well as performances, work demonstrations, film screenings and exhibitions. 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 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. Barba makes performances, he writes and edits books, his theatre is a centre of theoretical studies, his International School of Theatre Anthropology (ISTA) is unique, his research into the methods of actor training is deep. And the first group of actors who joined him 15 to 20 years ago remains the same. New actors have joined, but the core is the same. That is a very rare phenomenon.
