This year, those interested in acting can also take part in a special theater workshop: The Gold Beetle Method. acting technique session is led by Zoltán Balázs, the founder of the Maladype Theatre. The method was named after the work of Edgar Allan Poe, whose main characters reach their goals thanks to their analytical and evaluative skills.
During the actor training, based on analytical thinking, we explore unexpected situations and unknown areas where the usual cause and result relationships and systems of our everyday life do not work any more, where the new situations mean new structures and our communication opportunities are shaped by attention, skilulness and improvisation as well as creativity and the changing rules. Through networking exercises that respond immediately to changes in the moment and in the environment, we can create opportunities to articulate our thoughts, express ourselves accurately, hone our debating skills and develop our assertive communication techniques. Through the Golden Beetle method, participants in the creative training will become aware of their own abilities and potential, so that they can become more capable as individuals and as a cohesive community to interpret their values and spirit in a responsible and authentic way.
