HOP Gala - Young Actor’s Gala, 2021 edition
Motto: "Caragiale - a world in motion"
What a world! What a world! What a world!
(A Lost Letter, Act IV, Scene 4)
UNITER announces the organization of the pre-selection for the HOP! Young Actor’s Gala, 24th edition.
The 2021 HOP Young Actor’s Gala continues with the theme: Choreographic Theatre. The DanceActor as a Phenomenon of Contemporary Theatre and will also take place under the wand of the well-known choreographer and dancer Gigi Căciuleanu.
This year as well, the pre-selection will take place based on the video recordings sent by the competitors. We address all the actors who graduated from college (bachelor's degree), up to 33 years old.
For both sections, Individual and Group, the pre-selection will be carried out as follows:
- Presentation of a moment of movement and text prepared by the competitor (maximum 10 minutes in the Individual section and maximum 15 minutes in the Group section).
In the construction of the moment, the competitors will treat the text by means of choreographic theatre, in a mixed form - free combination of verbal and non-verbal forms.
Maximum composition of a group - 7 people.
In the construction of the presented moments, we will follow the original treatment through text and movement (in equal ratio, 50/50 between words and movement) of some pages of free choice from the work of Ion Luca Caragiale: Plays, Sketches, various texts (articles, poems etc. ).
Guidelines:
• Monologues and / or Dialogues set in motion (Verb - Word / Verb - Action)
• Verbal and situational humour taken towards the Danced Act ...
• Dynamic relationships between characters (Why not reinvented? Why not even coming from different texts?)
Refinement of gestures that populate both the actual texts of the plays, moments and sketches, as well as very precise captions or indications of attitudes and play appearing as filigree, between the lines, with the same “choreographic force” as the text itself.
A revisited Caragiale, over space and time, now that Ionescu's absurdity is not only familiar to us, but has even become a classic.
Moments of humour or humour about love and hate, about stupidity and intelligence sketched not only in word or gesture, but also in elaborate movement.
Those admitted will present the moment prepared, live, at the 2021 HOP Gala.
Candidates must send to the email address doina@uniter.ro the video recording of the prepared moment (landscape format), a resume, a copy of the graduation diploma (or certificate issued by the faculty), a photo (portrait, 300 dpi resolution), the title and the logistical and technical information for the presented exercise.
The deadline for submitting registration materials is July 15th, 2021.
