THEATRE ANTROPOLOGY (ISTA - CATA - LAT)

International School of Theatre Anthropology (ISTA)
https://ista-online.org

​

Founded in 1979 by Eugenio Barba, ISTA is a multicultural network of artists and academics that gives life to an itinerant university whose main field of study is Theatrical Anthropology. ISTA organises situations and contexts in which the actor's craft is interrogated, practically and comparatively. This research relates to the technical foundations of the actor (principles) despite and beyond their differences in style and tradition. It is also the place and time in which it is possible to experience theatre as a country and to experience the craft in an intercultural dimension.

​

Since 2011, Ana Woolf has been a member of the pedagogical and artistic team of the ISTA, International School of Theatre Anthropology.

So walk this path with resistance, joy, not forgetting where you come from.»
