The Kalamata Drama International Summer School (KaDISS) is the outcome
of a creative and educational collaboration between the Maria Callas
Alumni Association of the Music School of Kalamata and Theatre Alive!
Both are non-profit making organisations committed to encouraging
innovation and training in the performing arts.



The annual Summer School (KaDISS) reaches out to young performers
worldwide to come to Kalamata and supplement and develop their
professional training and artistic skills. It is aimed at professional
actors, graduates of drama schools and young people who already have
professional experience in performance, as well as those in other areas
of the performing arts, such as opera and music theatre, who require an
acting ability or foundation in acting, and who want to evolve their own
methodology and skills in acting.

The 3-week Summer School provides an invaluable resource for
actors-in-training or actors at the early stage in their career as well
as those wishing for a rigorous re-appraisal of their abilities and
skills. The aim is to develop the actor's flexibility in performance
through an encounter with the two fundamental genres in European
theatre.

Through immersion in and exploration of the dramatic language of
Shakespeare (Scene Study) and approaches to Greek Classical Theatre
(Classical Theatre Lab) as foundation, as well as Physical Performance
and Vocal Performance, the intensive course provides comprehensive
re-examination of the actor's craft through reasoned preparation,
focused energy and stimulated imagination, as well as enhancement of
skills within the framework of ensemble theatre-making. Daily vocal and
physical performance classes (Voice and Movement) hone the student's
self-discipline and liberate the actor's body by providing skills to
widen the perspective of contemporary theatre practice through somatic
flexibility and expression. Improvisation work opens new, unexpected,
channels for expression of dramatic text and for spontaneity of
character study.
