Join the Other Theatre School for its third workshop and expedition of the year!



The Other Theatre School


For about twenty years we have been making annual expeditions to the Suwalki region of Poland, where village residents have preserved the local tradition of the "Alleluia Going". The event, prepared through the collaboration of workshop participants, alludes to rural forms of Easter carolling; however, it is also a search for multicultural, theatrical and authentic continuity oriented equally toward the past and the future. The group's "going" in the rural Suwalki borderland area is based on spring-themed folk songs from various regions of Poland, Belarus and Ukraine. The journey ends in a final meeting of the village residents (and guests) on the night of "Wet" Easter Monday. The shared holiday celebration culminates in a performance created by workshop participants. Each year the development of this performance is an attempt at answering the question of how to work with traditional material. The turning point along this journey occurred in 2010, when we chose the theme of "roots and shoots" (named after Jane Goodall's organization). Elements such as earth and water, present in the oldest rituals, became a canvas for reflection on the future of the world. In this way we created the pieces "Water 2030" and "Earth B", which draw attention to imminent global environmental crises.

This year we invite people who are active and willing to take creative risks to participate in the next cycle of work.
