Synopsis
Videotaped source material for research purposes: this video is a record of varieties of stick work proposed by Andrei Serban to a group of performers during a week-long training session in Leeds. Sticks have been used to train performers in different cultures and at different times - by the Peking Opera, Meyerhold, the Open Theater and Peter Brook. Serban, originally from Romania, worked with Brook in Paris, then with La Mama in New York and is currently at Columbia University. He has an international reputation as a director of theatre and opera.
