Based in the Department of Theatre Studies, CTATT studies how actor training techniques are transmitted across cultures, and in this process appropriated and transformed.
The formal aims of the Project are:
- to create a series of research actions – workshops, residencies, seminars, conferences – that revolve around the transmission across cultures of actor training techniques
- to reach out to the largest possible international audience that is directly invested in the study and practice of actor training and performance
- to create and disseminate a body of knowledge related to actor training, such as workshop documentation, recorded interviews, published scholarly material, etc.
In April the Project hosted three actor training workshops with visiting practitioners from the UK, Rome, and Prague, supported by ERASMUS+ funds for Staff Mobility for Teaching and Arts Council Malta – Malta Arts Fund.
The launch was introduced by Head of Department Dr Mario Frendo, who contextualised the Project within the broader research taking place in Theatre Studies.
