Playing Betwixt and Between Acting and Education. Elements in the actor-teacher’s work on the well developed TIE program.

Project summary

The aim of the reseqarch is to reach a deeper understanding of the phenomenon TIE and the actor-teacher’s competence and skills manifested in the TIE-work. Research questions: How do the qualities of a TIE program appear? How does the actor-teacher’s competencies influence the construction of and the running of a program? How does the actor-teacher deal with the unexpected? How can a group of actor-teachers and their TIE program serve as didactic example in order to get a deeper understanding of TIE? I am searching for answers to my questions through the study of one chosen program (British TIE-company). The program is videorecorded in five different performances.
