University Theatre of Cultures

The idea for creating a University of the Theatre of Cultures is based on the goals of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and the Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions. Our world possesses such a wealth of local cultures that need to be protected, promoted, and put into dialogue with one another in order to benefit from each other’s wisdom, to evolve or undergo innovation. The University Theatre of Cultures will be a permanent structure with a space for classrooms, studios, a library, a multimedia center and performing arts stages. Students can train in theatre techniques, study theatre history and conduct research. What is special is that it is a centre for international studies. Postgraduate students from all over the world will have the ability to work with masters in theatre culture from all over the world –

 

 

like Kabuki, Noh, Butoh, and Chinese Opera Techniques, or any special theatre technique that exists and is threatened with extinction or doomed to drowning by mainstream waves. With these workshops the wisdom of such techniques will continue to spread and will inspire professional actors, directors and theatre practitioners worldwide.
The General Secretariat of the International Theatre Institute has detailed a concept that is available for persons and organizations, interested in pursuing this idea.
