The Team

The teachers work independently worldwide whilst updating their work with the ongoing research of Dr Jurij Alschitz on a regular basis. Depending on the nature of the project or teaching assignment the team works together in various constellations.

All team members lead their own theatre centre or theatre group; they work as freelance directors and as teachers at academies.
