To be very close, to be right in the middle of it, or to look at theatre analytically from a distance – when does theatre work how? Within four days, with four theoretical positions and about four examples of contemporary works of theatre and performance arts we want to explore and discuss the implications of proximities and distances in theatre. By doing that we will touch questions of participation, immersion, reflection and critique.
To participate in the workshop, it is necesarry to read the recommended litearature in advance (except the last title). After you sign up for this workshop, you will receive an email with the recommended literature (in Czech and English language) and more detailed informations.
