A mental-physical discipline created by Prof. Ivan Vyskočil. Its foundation lies in experiential trials of behavior—speaking and acting—with oneself (an internal partner), essentially alone, through self-dialogue. The aim is to learn authentic, spontaneous, interactive behavior and to present it publicly in situations of ‘public solitude’ Stanislavsky), under the presence and attention of an audience. This occurs even when friends or observers are absent, excluding visual and tactile contact

- experience, recognition and study of drama acting principles
