The program is designed as a 6-day workshop, where students will practically / physically explore different techniques that will be able to help them to discover answers to their questions at the approaches of the Ostrenko brothers.
The Ostrenko method relies on the combination of practice and theory. It aims at giving the performers an understanding of what they want, while also providing directors with insights into how to put a new production or scene variation on a stage.
The main advantage of the method is the ability to get practical instructions to obtain results in the shortest way.
