Year 1. - February - May 2015

The new way of audience development is so-called “participatory programming”. We invited general public – spectators  who are actively interested in creating a program in our theatre to meet the artistic directors of the theatre regularly, to discuss specific works and to share their feelings and opinions. They had a chance to take part in choosing from a big selection of artworks.
The first series of workshops with the audience is devoted to the program of European Dance Laboratories, which are part of the TANEC PRAHA festival. Works included in European Dance Labs are selected from the Top20 young choreographic talents from Aerowaves - European dance platform.
The workshops were open to everyone, to students as well as seniors, to lay practitioners as well as to professionals, to anyone who wanted to learn more about theater backdrops and background processes.
