SUBTEXT

the Maastricht method

Acting, performing, and speaking in the theater or in public requires insight into language and mastery of speech.
Subtext, an exploration into the essence of language and speech.
Our brain systems allow us to consciously engage with language while playing or speaking, but do not allow us to simultaneously consciously control our speech.
Subtitles are not in Van Dale, but indicate how the player can convey their meaning using text, even if something different is literally written.
In the Theater, in a new reality, language and speech create the imagination.
Speaking and playing with language and speech in time and space. The Maastricht Method has developed its own approach. In the Theatre Model, it is explored how emotion and thought become audible and how imagination takes shape. A bare, empty space becomes a laboratory for research into language and speech in time and space.
Ondertekst, the Maastricht Method, practices and trains the control over melody, rhythm, and timbre, the expression, and the expressive power of language and speech.
