More about the book
About the book
The Odin Teatret was founded in 1964 in Norway and for 34 years has
been based in Holstebro, Denmark, away from the capital and the
centre for theatre. It also tours in other countries. What makes
this theatre special in comparison to others, is that 'it
comprehends theatre as a specific social and spatial reality, often
expressed through the metaphor of a monastery, ghetto or exile'.
The theatre laboratory has many other activities than the mere
creation of theatre performances; it also conducts seminars,
conferences and meetings with theatre people from around the world.
It has published a series of books and magazines about theatre
technique and theory and produced films and videos.
This is a remarkable book for actors, dancers, writers, directors,
choreographers and others involved in creative theatre production.
It is also a valuable resource for anyone who is captivated by the
art and craft of the theatre.
