                                 Convocation

The first summer academy for theatre and new media at the Festspielhaus
Hellerau in Dresden takes place from June 19. to July 11. The theme of this
summer academy is interaction and reality. Organizers are the Europäische
Werkstatt für Kunst und Kultur Hellerau and transARTES of the cultural
travelroute Les Arts Vivants et l´identité europ*enne of the European
Commity Strassbourg. The summer academy is financed by the Bundesministerium
für Bildung und Forschung.

The assignment of the summer academy is the education of students and
professional: theatre directors, choreographers, actors, dramaturgs, media
artists, as well as theatre- and media scientists in the usage of theatrical
and electronic-digital techniques of communication.

The summer academy opens in the night of june 19./20. with "Aether - Trommeln
- Europa", a theatric-digital voyage by Penelope Wehrli. A symposium of
international theatre- and media scientists (20. - 22. 6. 1999) sees its
task in reconstructing interactive forms of theatre in the 20. century and
comparing these to the electronic-digital media of today and exploring
possible junctions between theatre and new media. In artistic-practical
workshops, lasting a fortnight each ( 24. 6. - 11. 7.), theatre- and media
artist will work together on "digital performances". Interactive interfaces
are at the center of each workshops, challenging the interaction of
traditional theatre, as its strict separation between actors and audience is
cancelled. The summer academy also offers two special workshops (4.-11.7.
1999) focusing on interactive videoinstallation and performance. The summer
academy ends with work-in-progress demonstrations showing the results of the
workshops and a final symposium (11. 7. 1999) featuring discussions on the
connection of theatre an digital media, giving special attention to the
artistic education with representatives of acting- and mediaschools.
