Interested in developing filmmaking skills and want the opportunity to get your work showcased?
As the result of the four-week Lab collaboration participants will create and demonstrate the final work-in-progress.
The final work may find its realization both as part of the common creative result on the stage or may also be created as the complementary artistic format depending on specialization and artistic means. Directors, actors and dancers will perform the final work-in-progress on the stage of the Russian Drama Theatre through theatre language - the action on stage, movement, dance, word, etc. Film and video makers will have opportunity to create the work-in-progress on the project through the universal language of film - from a documentary on rehearsal process and its creative development, communication with actors, on stage and backstage, to an original short movie or a screen version of the work-in-progress on the stage.
A film can enlighten, inspire, entertain and educate, influencing how we perceive the action and the actor. How can we translate these unique sensations on the screen?.. IUGTE International Lab is unique in the exploration of all the art forms involved in filmmaking related and applied to performing arts - from a deep study of character, story and script, to liberating and illuminating scene work with actors, to the investigation of visual personality of the film, how to connect feelings, emotional depth, sound, music and rhythm of story, to illuminate the life of the character on theatre stage.
The Lab objective is to create the fascinating encounter of different arts in multicultural and multilingual artistic environment and to encourage participants to go beyond what they already know or are used to apply in their work relying on and inspired by this unique collaboration.
The Lab team will consist of representatives from various professional backgrounds with different areas of expertise in arts - film and video makers, directors, actors and dancers from different countries.
The Lab offers a unique opportunity to become the part of the international multidisciplinary artistic team and to take part in the practical creative process together with Russian actors at the Russian theatre. The Lab is open to professional film and video makers working in various genres, techniques and styles interested to find new collaborators and start new challenging projects for further professional development at international level.
