Weltrusten, Sleep well
Weltrusten, Sleep well, performance of NWU, MFA Scenography in the OT theatre in Rotterdam
On 3, 4 and 5 February 2006 NWU (Not Wearing Uniforms), an occasional compagny of MFA Scenography performed Weltrusten, Sleep well in the beautiful new theatre house of the Onafhankelijk Toneel (OT) in Rotterdam. Weltrusten is about time and based on the fairy-tale of Doornroosje. She slept 50 years and is such frightened after waking up. The project was conducted by Bea de Visser, term-teacher of the programme. The OT theatre sheltered the project with great hospitality.
MFA Scenography is the youngest programme at the Frank Mohr Institute. This post-graduate programme, co-ordinated by core teacher Mirjam Grote Gansey, has the objective of intensifying theatre design by producing scenographers who are capable of bringing imagination to drama on the basis of a substantial knowledge of the various manifestations of theatre in both its autonomous and its literary guises. The students come from various (Bachelor?s degree) backgrounds, such as the theatre school, dance academy, theatre technology, theatre design, the visual arts, graphic design, and architecture. They have followed their longing to apply their knowledge and skills in a world where the illusory side of life is predominant, where thinking is based on imagination. They want to work from an angle of approach in which the visual arts and theatre enter the arena of visual translation. Their interests vary from the autonomous performance and visual impact to a completely co-ordinated theatre play.
