Abstract

From 17-22 September last year the International School of Theatre Anthropology (ISTA) conducted its fifth international congress in Holstebro, Denmark, entitled “The Female Role as Represented on the Stage in Different Cultures. “ ISTA, which was founded by Eugenio Barba in 1980, is an organization devoted to researching the fundamentals of performance through a comparative study of Eastern and Western acting techniques. This research is conducted by Barba himself, along with a group of master performers from the Orient and Occident, and a team of scholars including biologists, psychologists, anthropologists, and theatre academics. At ISTA’s public sessions, like the September congress, selected participants are invited to work with the specialists in exploring particular themes such as improvisation (1981), and narrative (1985).
