THEATER IN ISRAEL
Israel is the foremost country in the world in terms of the number of new productions that come out each year per capita in a given area.
This phenomenon will be explored and analyzed in relating to the repertoire theaters, alternative productions, theater for children, popular art, acting schools, as well as amateur stand-up and nonsense theater in Israel.
The lecture will include a brief socio-historic survey of the evolution of Israeli theater, and will focuse on the situation today.
The lecture will be open to questions and discussion.
LECTURE 3
DAILY APPROACH TO RELIGIONS' PHILOSOPHIES
What is the difference between a religion and the
philosophy of the religion? Why every religion has its
own philosophy? Why those who follow a certain
religion dislike the philosophy of their own religion?
Is it because religions are for easy answers and the
religions' philosophies are for difficult questions?
Can we apply religions' philosophies in our daily
life? What happens where there is no religion? What
happens where only philosophy remains? A dialogue and
conversation with the audience on the common thread
between all religions' philosophies.
LECTURE 4
THEATER WITHOUT COMPETITION
A MEETING WITH A DIRECTOR AND A VIDEO DEMONSTRATION
An interactive dialogue with the audience on the
method of the director. A method that drops
competition, drops the need to be good, excellent or
better than someone. A method that allows creativity,
self expression and acceptance. Video extracts from
big theater productions, with 10 actors or more, from
India, Israel, Thailand etc., directed by the
director. Each one of these productions, is a result
of three months workshop and rehearsals using this
method.
