Another Nightmare!

’Someone must have been telling lies about Josef K.,

he knew he had done nothing wrong but, one morning,

he was arrested.’

“The Trial” — Franz Kafka.

The socio-political conditions inferred in such an opening line resonate strongly throughout most contemporary societies. Most inhabitants of those societies choose to respond to such resonation as they would a bout of tinnitus; they acknowledge it, push it into the subconscious, and simply learn to live with it.

I am now actively seeking Actors eager to explore this condition through means of  a new stage-adaptation of Kafka’s celebrated nightmare,.

These Actors will be special: They are Actors who would relish the opportunity to…

— join the forces of aesthetics and scholarship.

— be independent of the normal production economy of mainstream theatre.

— be freed from the laws of common morality or catechism.

— work with the free interaction of the actor and the spectator.

— define acting and theatre in the broadest possible sense, and thus not accept any historical separations such as those between acting, dancing and singing, or between the arts.

— immerse themselves in the practice of collective creation.

— work independently of existing performance conventions.

— use improvisation extensively.

— explore all means of human expression separately.

(“ACTOR” is defined here as an artist who performs, whether that artist’s initial speciality is in Dance, Drama, Music, Mime, Pole-Dancing, Dwile-Flonking or any other performing arts discipline.)

Actors, for whom the above criteria exites, are invited to contact me in the first instance via this location or e-mail at <stagesense@gmail.com>

Those Actors that already know the necessary digits may call me, repeatedly, or message me on my wire-less telephonic device. 

Kindly.

Chief RAT (for the time being)
