Theatre Lab
A workshop for mentors
Schedule
Running time 90 minutes. Intermissions upon request.
Workshop leader Primož Ekart
In the workshop following the viewing of the production Yellow Moon, participants can empirically test the methods of running a theatre lab for youth. The workshop focuses on exercises for group dynamics which allow mentors to unite the group and prepare it for a creative process, to the experience of being/standing on stage and certain mechanisms and tools that allow to express the present experience, both actual and the one that is a consequence of imaginary circumstances. The practical part will be followed by a discussion with reflection.
