Description: Literary Nonfiction. Acting. Scenography. Essays. Art. Performance Studies. Detailing new perspectives on acting and scenography, this rich, inductive compilation of essays and personal reflections profiles Østfold University College/Norwegian Theatre Academy's unique approach to international theater education. At NTA, artistic research informs our pedagogy. Investigation and experimentation are emphasized over any single technique or method, defined by the use of sonic, kinetic, visual, and olfactory environments that can each serve as material for new creative work. By amplifying our students' engagement with diverse spaces, deep play, movement, full- body listening, vocalization, musicality, collaborative processes, ethical risk, and even failure, the faculty and guest artists at NTA have established a program that challenges the limits of the field, as we continue our growing contribution to contemporary theater practices. Contributors: Karmenlara Ely, Serge von Arx, Camilla Eeg-Tverbakk, Electa Behrens, Øystein Elle, Veronika Bökelmann, and Ivar Furre Aam, with a photo essay by Karen Kipphoff.
