IN HOMAGE TO FRANCO QUADRI (1936–2011) | One of the most influential figures in Italian theatre criticism, a visionary publisher and a passionate advocate for contemporary performing arts.

Throughout his career, Quadri championed innovative and experimental theatre, supporting artists who challenged conventions and pushed the boundaries of performance. Over the years, he was an avid supporter of Jan Fabre and his work, helping to introduce his performances to new audiences and championing his place within the international theatre scene.

In 1977, Quadri founded 'Ubulibri', a publishing house that would transform Italian theatre publishing, giving a voice to some of the most significant developments in contemporary theatre and dance.

Among its publications is the Italian edition of 'Corpus Jan Fabre: Observations of a Creative Process', a book offering a fascinating insight into Fabre's artistic universe, his working methods and the creative processes behind his theatre.

As part of Fabre Festival 2026 at Teatro OUT OFF in Milan, we remember Franco Quadri and his invaluable contribution to the world of theatre.

On Saturday 17 October, Teatro OUT OFF in Milan will host 'Franco Quadri, un maestro per le future generazioni di critici teatrali', an event organised by ateatro, honouring his legacy and bringing together different generations of theatre critics to discuss the future of theatre criticism.
📅 Saturday 17 October 2026 | 6.00 PM
📍 Teatro Out Off, Via Mac Mahon 16, Milan

Reflecting on a memorable moment shared with renowned Italian theatre director Romeo Castellucci, alongside Ivana Jozic, performer and teacher with the Jan Fabre Teaching Group and Jan Fabre.

“ ...(theatre is) the possibility to think, to think of seeing, to see to seeing, and to acknowledge therefore, the deep significance of being a spectator”. His sentiment echoes through his remarkable visual artwork, 'Tellure' (2007), seen at Troubleyn/Laboratorium in Antwerp, amidst a diverse collection of permanent art installations by over 70 esteemed international artists.

Stay tuned for upcoming masterclasses from the Jan Fabre Teaching Group.

Exercise: Drawing the room
A homage to Bill Forsythe

"Drawing the room is an exercise from the Forsythe-repertoire that was introduced by Tony Rizzi, dancer of the Ballet Frankfurt, and since 1993 active as a performer of Troubleyn.

The exercise starts by a quiet displacement through the space: the performers are invited to move through the space and look around: observe everything surrounding you: planes, color shades, objects, structures, patterns, details, lighting, doors and windows,… At the instructor’s signal everyone stands still and brings a finger up to eye level with half-stretched arm. You look at your finger and subsequently at a point further in the space, you focus from your finger to the space and back a couple of times. Do not merely feel the effect of your observation, feel it also on your body and how you connect one spot on your body with that point in the space." - Jan Fabre & Luk Van den Dries | 'From Act to Acting: Jan Fabre’s Guidelines for the Performer of the 21st century'

DA STANISLAVSKI A FABRE | “IL TITANO DEI PARADOSSI” - «Se si considera l’enorme portata dei suoi successi come artista e regista teatrale, se si lasciano scorrere davanti agli occhi le istanze estetiche e intellettuali che quest’opera giustamente sostanzia, e se a ciò si aggiungono l’ampia ricezione, l’impatto e l’influenza che il suo lavoro esercita da decenni sull’arte teatrale contemporanea, allora bisogna affermare l’ovvio: Jan Fabre è un titano nel campo del teatro e dell’arte.» – Hans-Thies Lehmann, «Il titano dei paradossi», in The Great European Stage Directors, Volume 8: Bausch, Castellucci, Fabre.

*****

FROM STANISLAVSKI TO FABRE | ‘THE TITAN OF PARADOXES’ - “If you consider the enormous scope of his achievements as an artist and as a theatre director, if you let pass before the mind’s eye the aesthetic as well as intellectual claims that this oeuvre rightly substantiates and add the broad reception, the impact and influence of his work on the contemporary art of theatre since decades, then the obvious must be stated: Jan Fabre is a titan in the field of theatre and art.” – Hans Thies Lehmann ‘The titan of Paradoxes’ in ‘The Great European Stage Directors Volume 8: Bausch, Castellucci, Fabre’.

The British publishing house Bloomsbury Publishing UK (Methuen Drama - Bloomsbury Publishing UK) launched an 8-volume series, ‘The Great European Stage Directors’. This comprehensive series delves into the genealogy and development of theatre practice by focusing on individual directors within their historical, cultural, and theoretical contexts. Each volume provides in-depth analysis of three major directors, making it an essential resource for theatre practitioners and scholars alike. Jan Fabre has been featured in the prestigious final volume, alongside Pina Bausch and Romeo Castellucci.

NOW AVAILABLE! | FROM ACT TO ACTING, LES LIGNES DIRECTRICES DE JAN FABRE POUR LES PERFORMERS DU 21È SIÈCLE ( Jan Fabre & Luk Van den Dries 'From Act to Acting: Jan Fabre’s Guidelines for the Performer of the 21st century' IN FRENCH)
HDiffusion | Version française et préface de Lydie Toran

Déjà traduit en quinze langues, From Act to Acting marque un tournant majeur dans l’histoire du théâtre et de la performance. Cet ouvrage rassemble les lignes directrices de Jan Fabre pour les performers du XXIᵉ siècle. Élaborées au cours d’années de pratique, de recherche et d’expertise, elles honorent la mémoire de ses prédécesseurs – Meyerhold, Grotowski, Lecoq, Peter Brook – et s’entourent des plus grands noms de la scène artistique contemporaine : Marina Abramovic, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Roméo Castellucci et Richard Schechner, qui signent l’avant-propos et les postfaces du livre.

Les nouvelles formes de créativité naissant chez les performers qui pratiquent ces exercices embrassent l’entièreté de l’être, du groupe et de l’espace théâtral. L’animalité et la conscience collective, réactivées à partir d’une conscience respiratoire individuelle, sont déclenchées par la conscience corporelle ; travaillant dans la matière corporelle totale, donnant donc lieu à un jeu physiologique qu’aucune école de théâtre n’avait encore développé. Si bien que les éléments de ce théâtre ayant fait école pendant des décennies, sont identifiables chez les artistes de la scène actuelle marqués par la façon Jan Fabre.

Exercise: ‘Types'

"This improvisation starts from five types chosen from different categories: a profession, an icon, aggression, sexuality, spirituality…Time and again the performer is granted the opportunity to deliver his types with more precision, to pe*****te even deeper into the essence of it. The audience is the goal: they should be seized by each type, it is therefore crucial to project your energy to the front, to open up while playing, to coerce their attention, the type should be tingling on their retina, leaving behind a smoke cloud. Your own pleasure of playing, investing in intensity, articulation and precision are conditions to grab and hold the attention of the audience." - Jan Fabre & Luk Van den Dries | 'From Act to Acting: Jan Fabre’s Guidelines for the Performer of the 21st century'

FROM ACT TO ACTING - PRIRUČNIK JANA FABREA ZA IZVOĐAČA 21. VIJEKA (Jan Fabre & Luk Van den Dries 'From Act to Acting: Jan Fabre’s Guidelines for the Performer of the 21st century' IN MONTENEGRIN)
Fakultet dramskih umjetnosti Cetinje and Korifej festivala iz Kolašin.

Knjiga Jana Fabra značajna je studija o glumi koja je prevedena na više svjetskih jezika i o njenoj praktičkoj upotrebi u nastavi glume pisali su mnogi svjetski relevantni umjetnici i profesori od kojih je profesor emeritus dramskih studija na Univerzitetu u Antverpu u Belgiji, Luk Van den Dries ističe: “Da ovo izdanje knjige pruža uvid u Fabreove revolucionalne misli savremenog pozorišta”.

“From act to acting – priručnik Jana Fabrea za izvođača 21. vijeka” je esej i vodič kao i manifest i priručnik za izvođača, baziran na sveobuhvatnom iskustvu Jana Fabrea kao pozorišnog umjetnika i koreografa. U tom pravcu profesor Luk Van den Dries dodaje da: “Ova knjiga baca novo svjetlo na fizički, mentalni i vokalni trening izvođača”.

Čuveni rusko-američki glumac, baletan i koreograf Mikhail Baryshnikov zaključuje da je ova knjiga “pokušaj da se nadahnuti izvođači vode do Fabreovog mjesta ekstremne i često neudobne iskrenosti”. “Studenti pozorišta i plesa će razumjeti da u ovoj knjizi Fabre koristi tehnike i metode koje su ustanovili drugi, ali Jan sve to prebacuje u neopisive teritorije tijela i duše u potrazi za oblikovanjem umjetnika u ono što on zove ‘ratnik ljepote’”, konstatuje on.
