Milda Al-Slamah, Lithuania 2022




Milda Al-Slamah is a Lithuanian performance maker and doctoral researcher who investigates various forms of immateriality in theatre: from audience engagement to mental rehearsal. Having obtained her BA in Theatre Practice, Performance Arts, at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London, she then completed her MA in Acting at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre, where she now continues her research in Theatre Directing at a doctoral level. 
Milda’s artistic works feature performances with an experimental twist, such as (IN)DEPENDENCE (2017), which deliberately invited a new actor each showing to perform without preparation and any knowledge of the script; (in)security (2019), which toyed with the idea of audience as co-creator and won the Best Script Award at the Lebanese National Theatre in Tyre, Lebanon; and MIND THE GAP (2020) which is being developed using mental rehearsal. All of these performances, along with her more current works, add towards her continuous artistic research into the immaterial tools in theatre-making. 
 
Possibilities of Mental Rehearsal
 
Scientific research on mental rehearsal suggests that in terms of neuro-chemical activity taking place in the human brain, there is no difference between having a physical experience and simply imagining this experience in your mind’s eye. This research is backed by many experiments on mental rehearsal that investigate how this type of rehearsal can benefit different fields and professions - from athletes to pianists - who already successfully implement this tool to advance their practice. But what exactly do we know about it in the world of acting? Whereas it is true that many professionals in theatre use mental rehearsal intuitively, to this day not much is being spoken about consciously tapping into its potential. So how can actors take full advantage of this incredible tool which has already advanced other professions? By combining both theoretical knowledge of mind-matter research and practical exercises, this workshop will introduce its participants to mental rehearsal as a game-changing tool in making theatre.
