…and there they are
9 students from different theatre-academies
9 voices
9 approaches to sink a ship
and adding two coaches
who’s voices and views
did differ as well

how to start this journey
by acknowledging the fact that form is content
and
visa versa
by starting to open up a mind
towards technology
(for the maastricht students nothing new)
(for the others something completly different)
theatre-makers from different personal chosen angles:
directing/performing/acting/pupeteering/lightning

so we used the maastricht way of working:
producing performances based on “impossible assignments”
reading, discussing,
trial and error
searching for strategy’s
in which everyones field of expertise
and everyones needs
got space to breathe and expand

technology next to being present on stage

a stage
a location with great possibillities
and
great difficulties as well

but they managed
from a kind of babelonic english
to a shared language

and i think
they
we
learned from each other differences
the ship did not sink
no one drowned
the disaster
the iceberg
embraced the golden ship
