Routledge 2018
The Odin Teatret Archives
presents collections from the archives of one of the
foremost reference points in global theatre.
Letters, notes, work diaries, articles and a wealth of
photographs all chart the daily activity that underpins the life of
Odin Teatret, telling the adventurous, complex stories which have
produced the pioneering work that defines Odin's laboratory
approach to theatre. Odin Teatret have been at the forefront of
theatrical innovation for over fifty years, devising new strategies
for actor training, knowledge sharing, performance making,
theatrical alliances and ways of creating and encountering
audiences. Their extraordinary work has pushed boundaries between
Western and Eastern theatre; between process and performance; and
between different theatre networks across the world.
In this unique volume, Mirella Schino brings together a never
before seen collection of source materials which reveal the social,
political and artistic questions facing not just one
ground-breaking company, but everyone who tries to make a life in
the theatre.
Mirella Schino teaches at the University of
Roma Tre, Italy. From 2008 until 2015 she worked at the creation of
the Odin Teatret Archive.
