JÜRI NAEL "WAITING FOR..."

NB! The performances on 3+4+5+6+7.03 are sold out!

*performance takes place in studio and therefore the number of seats is limited!

Waiting is a luxury. There's no time. Neither patience. And still we are waiting. At all times. For someone. For something. To come. To go. Or for the right moment to arrive. To enter. Exit. Or to quit. This is a piece about waiting. Inspired by Samuel Beckett's dramatic texts and by the personal disability. Personal disability to wait.

Jüri Nael graduated from Viljandi Culture College and LABAN Centre London. He has choreographed nearly sixty theatre productions in Estonia, Finland, Sweden and England. He is an associate professor at Tallinn University and Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre. Last year he was awarded Master of Arts degree with distinction from The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and King's College London. Currently he is doing PhD degree in Theatre and Drama at Royal Holloway (University of London), being supported by the mobility grant from Estonian Ministry of Education and Research and Foundation Archimedes.
