ABSTRACT
Roberta Carreri is one of acclaimed theatre company Odin Teatret's longest-serving actors, and the last to be trained by Eugenio Barba himself. In this book, she relives the milestones of her professional journey, including: her first experiences of street theatre. The rhythm of producing performances was markedly slow due to the time that actors took to memorise the improvisations which were recorded on film. Torgeir invented a way of creating material that he called 'one step at a time'. The author used this method to work on the improvisation theme that Eugenio gave them at the beginning of what eventually became the creation of Kaosmos. In her work diary she gives a step-by-step description of her improvisation on the limited space of a Peruvian poncho. Kaosmos gave them the opportunity to explore various possibilities of interpreting the score, both during and after the performance's lifetime.
