XX Actor International Laboratory
From the 2nd April, the application period for the XX Actor International Laboratory, which will take place from the 16th October 2018 to the 8th April 2019, is open.
TNT, The International Centre of Investigative Theatre of Seville has become the role model for the investigative theatre in Spain. In 2003, it was included in the program called “Theatrical Laboratories as Cultural Innovators” by the EU, which contains the most important European centers. From that time, it has been part of four different programs at the EU (with 30 more centers from 15 different countries).
Conscious about the complexity to find their place in the artistic world, the TNT Laboratory started in 2005 with the solid will of helping young actors during the beginning of their careers. To get there, more than a hundred teachers and educators from every corner of the world have taken part of this laboratory. In each edition, 160 actors have participated, not only Spanish, but also actors from other countries, becoming a national and European example.

From these laboratories, a cast for Atalaya and TNT emerged, but also for many more of the most renowned Spanish companies, such as Fura, Comediants, Ur, Animalario, La Cuadra, Pentación or Kulunka, apart from productions of some of the most important national and autonomous dramatic centers.
The cast of the 30 shows that Atalaya and TNT have produced since 1995 come from the Laboratory: a total of 80 actresses and actors, exactly the half of the participants from the different editions. They have toured around more than 30 countries from 5 continents and got many Andalusian, national and international awards. Atalaya’s next show, “King Lear”, includes three actors from the last three laboratories, with other six from the steady team.
The team of the XX Laboratory is formed by a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 14 actresses and actors who could take to scene a final show (depending on level), just like what happened with the current edition of the Laboratory and the show “The Public”, from Federico García Lorca, and based on Atalaya’s original show, or in past editions with shows such as “Divine Words”, from Valle-Inclán.
Some of the advantage that belonging to this project offers are, not only the artistic repercussion, but also the possibility to assist every show that takes place at the TNT Center (“Celestina”, “Marat/Sade”, “So Let Five Years Pass” and “King Lear”), the Investigative Theatre International Exhibition (MITIN in Spanish) and the New Theatrical Researchers Contest (CENIT), with renowned foreigner shows (and which includes meetings with their line-ups).
It also stands out the encounters made with important professionals from the Spanish scene, as we did in past editions with José Luis Gómez, Blanca Portillo, Leo Bassi, Alberto San Juan or Laila Ripoll, among others, just as with international educators.
A special mention goes to Eugenio Barba’s visit, one of the biggest masters and transformer of contemporary theatre who will attend these events in company of Julia Varley, actress at Odin Teatret. They both will assist the celebration of Atalaya’s 35th anniversary and The International Centre of Investigative Theatre TNT 10th anniversary.
The educational team at Atalaya/TNT is made by 12 people, including its director, Ricardo Iniesta. The Laboratory includes more than 500 school hours used by the team to work in different facets, very important to the scene, such as physical training, scenic movement, voice-sing and rhythm, work in texts about universal poetic theatre, scenic creation: score, composition, scenic proposals, etc.
Likewise, theatre traditions from around the world will be addressed: Asian, such as Kathakali, Butoh, Noh, Pekin Opera; European such as Meyerhold Biomechanic, Art Comedy, Flamenco, Isabelino Theatre, Brechtiano Theatre, Artaud’s Cruelty Theatre, Grotowski Poor Theatre, Eugenio Barba’s Anthropologic Theatre and Odin Teatret; African traditions such as Sacroritual Theatre or Zulú Singing; Voice traditions such as Brechtiano Cabaret…
The students of this new edition will enjoy the facilities at The International Centre of Investigative Theatre TNT, which has a theatre with a space for 300 people, a room for 110 people, garden, different classrooms, video library, library, dressing rooms, apartments, hall, counter, storehouse, studio, office, toilets and closets.
Students will also be able to use visual material from TNT Center, which database includes a high number of Spanish and international Investigative Theatre shows, workshops from past editions and creations from the cast who have made possible the 40 shows of Atalaya and TNT.
To choose the participants of this edition of the Laboratory, it will take place an Experimental Workshop. Here, two groups of 20 selected students will become aware of the work to develop. After the workshop, the educators will pick the participants for the XX Laboratory of TNT. The workshop will take place the second week of October, five hours daily during five days.
The students will have free use, apart from the educational facilities of the center –classrooms, video library and library-, the first floor, specially made for their use: rooms, rest area, kitchen, roof, laundry room…
The experimental workshop price will be 95€, with a special promotion for those who make the pre-enrollment and payment before the 1st August. In that case, the price of the experimental workshop will be 75€.
The total price for the XX Laboratory will be 990€, which need to be paid in two payments of 495€, before the start of the Laboratory and before the 10th January.
The deadline to pre-enroll to the experimental workshop is the 20th September (with the pre-enrollment sheet, picture and CV included). Those who have pre-enrolled will have to attend an on-site test on the last week of September –exact date still to be confirmed-.
For this workshop (which will take place on the first half of October), it is necessary to present a monologue of poetic theatre (such as a Greek tragedy, a Shakespeare’s play or Lorca’s or another author to consult) with a length of 2-4 minutes, a song without lyrics (like a lullaby), and a short choreography. It is also necessary to wear comfortable clothes for physical work. If you don’t live in Seville, you can film yourself and send the material on a DVD, digital file or Internet (Vimeo or similar) over TNT before the 25th September.
The International Centre of Investigative Theatre TNT, where the Laboratory will take place, is made by: a theatre with a space for 300 people, a room for 110 people, garden, different classrooms, video library, library, dressing rooms, apartments, hall, counter, storehouse, studio, office, toilets and closets.
