Online: Analysis of Schnitzler´s “La Ronde/Reigen”

with Mike Alfreds

In 5 sessions of two hours

La Ronde, also known as Reigen in German, is a play that portrays ten individuals forming an unwitting circle of secret sexual relationships. Arthur Schnitzler wrote it in 1897 and was controversial. It explores the sexual morality and class ideology of its era by pairing characters before or after sexual encounters. The play’s characters from different levels of society provide a social commentary on how sexual contact crosses class boundaries.

THEMES FOR EACH DAY:

1: Break-down of the structure and general organisation of the play
2: Detailed analysis of a single character.
3: Analysis of all the characters’ super objectives and the super objective of the play.
4: As a finale: putting all the above elements together to decide what the themes of the play are and how that would be imagined physically on stage.

The class requires preparation and very good English language skills!

Recommended to read:

1. “Different Every Night”
2. “La Ronde/Reigen” by A. Schnitzler

“Different Every Night is one of the very few books I always recommend to my students in acting and directing. I find Mike’s philosophy clear, direct, useful. He supports his ideas with resonant examples. And his exercises for actor and directors are so easy to implement, practical and effective. Mike’s work on the page, in person and on Zoom is a pathway to excellence in both theatre and film.” – Dame Miranda Harcourt DNZM
“If I was allowed to train again to be an actor, but I was only allowed one teacher, it would have to be Mike Alfreds. To me he is a genius when it comes to acting and storytelling. I will spend my life trying to be true to what he perceives possible in the theatre. He is a true pioneer.” – Mark Rylance
“Most of what I am as an actress I owe to Mike Alfreds. He gave me the language and the tools I needed for my craft” Pam  Ferris
