On documentary theatre and realism on stage
with Stefan Bläske
03 - 06 September 2019
LOD muziektheater
In European theatre history, poetry, music and “true historical stories” have been combined and connected in many ways. When different “genres” developed, different aesthetics and means of expression have more and more split up. The central goal of this workshop is bringing together what some people call “documentary” theatre and “music” theatre.
We encourage young artists and students – especially theatre makers – who work with music and who are interested in working with material taken from research, documents and ‘real life’ to take part to this workshop.
The workshop will be guided and moderated by Stefan Bläske, currently head of dramaturgy at NTGent, where he works with Milo Rau and other artists on what they call a “theatre of the real”.
The workshop will include a presentation about the history of documentary theatre (in central Europe) and will offer different approaches and concepts of dealing with “reality” on stage. We will see and discuss theatre productions. And especially, we will work individually and as a group to develop ideas and concepts for future projects of the participants.
The aim of the workshop is to overcome the classical division of music theatre / opera and documentary theatre and to encourage artists and music theatre makers to develop forms that combine both elements. How can the intellectual and emotional dimensions, how can the different means of expression of working with historical documents, biographies and “real people” on stage be combined organically with music, dance and singing? What might be developments of these genres in the future?
