INTERNET DRAMA LIBRARY About the Library The idea of facilitating creative contact between theatres and playwrights is a longstanding one in the artistic milieu, yet ever since the closing of the “Virtep” theatre website, what it is lacking in a systemization of plays and free access to them. Work in this area is currently taking place at the Les’ Kurbas Centre, which will allow writers, theatre practitioners, critics, and everyone interested to more actively avail themselves of the finest examples of contemporary drama, thus fostering meaningful dialogue. The Library is structured in the following manner: 1. Biographical information on authors, photographs. 2. Annotations of plays and the plays themselves. 3. Criticism and theory connected with contemporary drama. 4. News in the world of drama (new books, projects, stagings, production photographs).

PROJECTS Sei-Sonagon’s Pillow-Talk in the Stream of the Compositional Theatrical Method A Project by Yevhen Lapin The conceptual bases of the compositional approach to the theatrical process were formulated by the project founder as a result of research conducted by him at the Kurbas Centre in 2004-2005. In order to conclude the research it has become necessary to put the approach into practice. The aim of the proposed project is the practical realization of the declared principles. A production of a play is planned with this aim in mind. According to research results, 3 core levels of compositional structure were found: - a macro level (a staging’s compositional structure), - a micro level (the actor’s compositional stage existence), - compositional actor training The proposed staging will demonstrate the realization of instrumentation for the first 2 levels. A video version of the staging is also planned. Base material – Sei-Sonagon, Pillow-Talk Duration – 30-40 minutes Artistic Team: - author-director - actress - set/costume designer Rehearsal Period: 3 months Anticipated results: - 5 showings at the Kurbas Centre - Video version of the staging
