👉 A series of theatre workshops to prepare a theatrical performance.
Deadline: 10-14 July 2023
RONDO Centre for Animation and Revitalisation, 166 Limanowskiego St.
During the workshop, children will learn about the process of building a performance, from the writing of the script to the final show. During the five-day intensive classes, participants will go through the entire process of preparing a theatrical performance. In the interdisciplinary classes, the children will be able to realise their talents: musical, acting, dancing, artistic, organisational. And with "wild fun" the children, together with the instructors, will prepare the script, set design, costumes, stage movement and the actors' roles.
