Ways we can collaborate

 
 

Now, when most of us, performance artists and creators are stuck at home and can just dream about coming back to the rehearsal rooms, studios and stages, it may be a right time to invest into learning new ways of thinking and working. I am proposing an online practice which aims to replicate work in an opera house. The idea is inspired by a Russian director Kirill Serebrennikov, who being under house arrest in Moscow managed to stage “Così Fan Tutte” at Zurich opera.

For the last two consecutive years I have been sharing my experience of working with best opera directors around Europe. I have founded international program “Opera Accelerator” and invited promising young opera singers to get better at their acting and rehearsing skills. It is vital to be know, what to do with you voice and body when not a singing teacher, but the director is in charge of the process.

I hope, that with all the technological advancement we will find an easy way to share the rehearsal room, where the ideas will spring back and forth and the results will be achieved.

Rehearsal

A one to one rehearsal with an opera director. Together we will stage a chosen piece from your repertoire. You will be given a concept, acting style, character, action and geography to work on. The end result is expected to be a fully staged scene.

For the online rehearsal you would need:

  • a phone or a laptop with camera

  • internet connection

  • playback of your chosen aria

  • know the piece by heart

  • some space to move around

When contacting about the fee, please mention, what aria you would like to work on and how many hours would you like to practice.

COnsultation

If you have something to discuss and learn about, we can have a chat. Questions I could help you with are:

  • a question about an operatic role

  • acting techniques

  • how successful rehearsal practice works

  • what you are expected to propose at the rehearsal

  • how to act, when you don’t sing

These topics and many more can be covered during our chat. Don’t hesitate to contact me and find out, how we can arrange the meeting.

propose your ideas

Would you like to work in a team, add your colleagues to the process? Would you like to rehearse longer excerpts, or receive guidance through the whole role preparation period? Or do you have ideas, where could our work lead, or how it could be conducted?

I am keen to hear about it all.
