In this episode, Budi sits down with Richard Schechner to talk about his extradoinary career in theatre.

Richard Schechner, one of the founders of Performance Studies, is a performance theorist, theater director, author, editor of TDR and the Enactments book series, University Professor, and Professor of Performance Studies. Schechner combines his work in performance theory with innovative approaches to the broad spectrum of performance including theatre, play, ritual, dance, music, popular entertainments, sports, politics, performance in everyday life, etc. in order to understand performative behavior not just as an object of study, but also as an active artistic-intellectual practice.  He founded The Performance Group and East Coast Artists.  His theatre productions include Dionysus in 69, Commune, The Tooth of Crime, Mother Courage and Her Children, Seneca's Oedipus, Faust/gastronome, Three Sisters, Hamlet, The Oresteia, YokastaS, Swimming to Spalding, and Imagining O. His books include Public Domain, Environmental Theater, Performance Theory, The Future of Ritual, Between Theater and Anthropology, Performance Studies: An Introduction, and Performed Imaginaries. As of 2018, his books have been translated into 18 languages. His theatre work has been seen in Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America. He has directed performance workshops and lectured on every continent except Antarctica.  He has been awarded numerous fellowships including Guggenheim, NEH, ACLS, and fellowships at Dartmouth, Cornell, Yale, Princeton, and the Central School of Speech and Drama, London.

In this episode, Adam and Budi discuss their upcoming training workshop on Taksu Theatre in Bali. Every artist in Bali strives for taksu. The Balinese define it as the moment when the artist completely surrenders to the form of their craft and God appears. This energy has many names and is present in every culture. Indians call it Rasa, the Spanish call it Duende, and the Yoruba call it ase. Co-Artistic Directors, Budi Miller, and Adam Marple will introduce you to the concepts of taksu and how it interacts with Western Actor and Director theatre training with Balinese Performing Arts Training (BPAT). This workshop will be in collaboration and consultation with the master teachers of Bali. This 10-day theatre training workshop focuses on activating the ultimate performance energy of taksu in the body and composing spaces to activate and contain this tangible energy. Participants will work daily training in BPAT: kecak acapella choral chanting, Balinese gamelan orchestral, Fitzmaurice Voicework; mask work; the Viewpoints; Budi Miller Taksu Training (BMTT) and Composition and Director Training. All activities and housing will take place at the GEOKS Arts Center in the village of Singapadu from August 19 -29 2023.

In this episode, Adam and Budi discuss their first choice for The Theatre of Others Book Club, Impro by Keith Johnstone.

KEITH JOHNSTONE (1933-2023) was one of the few internationally recognized authorities in the field of improvisation, great chunks of which he created, including Theatresports™, Maestro Impro©, Gorilla Theatre™, and The Life Game©. Keith has written two best-selling books about his Theatre and Improvisation theories and practices, in addition to several plays and short stories.
His books, Impro and Impro For Storytellers, have been translated into many languages. Keith’s ideas about improvisation, behavior, and performance appeal to a wide variety of groups: from actors to psychotherapists, improvisation companies to drama schools and theatre companies, business and management training specialists and humanities research institutes, universities and film production companies have invited him to come to teach them about his ideas, and how they might apply them. He founded the Theatre Machine Improvisation group in England in 1967, touring Europe and North America, and was the Co-founder and Artistic Director of The Loose Moose Theatre Company in Calgary, Canada from 1977 to 1998. He founded The International Theatresports™ Institute in 1998.
