Project goals and objectives
The project goal is to foster the evolution of the theatre sector in the Western Balkans by building capacities in the field of contemporary theatre practices and engaging in European co-production and networking activities in a way that will contribute to raising the European and international profile of Western Balkan theatre artists and institutions.
Project strategy
The project is based on co-creation labs, transnational mobility of theatre artists and theatre co-productions.
Contemporary Theatre artists from Europe and Western Balkans, selected through an international Open call, will meet repeatedly during a series of co-creation laboratories taking place in project partner countries.
During each lab session, the artists will engage in facilitated co-creation activities with the purpose of producing theatre performances that will be shown to audiences at various stages of the creative process throughout the duration of the project.
During the lab sessions, the participating artists will receive professional training on select topics, e.g. digital skills/video-projection, audience development etc.
The focus of the labs is on contemporary theatre practices, such as improvisational theatre, physical theatre, devised theatre and site-specific theatre.
The co-creation lab methodology has been tested in the context of the `Make a Move` project, selected for co-financing in the scope of the Creative Europe, European Co-operation projects 2018 call for proposals.
