PLAVO POZORIŠTE
THEATRE LABORATORY
TWO OPEN WEEKS
Belgrade, July 19 - 31, 2010.
Theatre Laboratory Plavo pozorište invites professional and semi-professional actors, directors and other theatre artists as well as theatre students and other people who are interested in theatre to participate in our program Two Open Weeks.
Two Open Weeks of Plavo pozorište is an opportunity to meet with our work through series of events: theatre workshops, meetings, video presentations, performances.
During Two Open Weeks our aim is to show participants our vision of theatre as a place of self-researching, place of communication, space of open mind where some important things about ourselves and the world that surrounds us can be said.
This year program will be divided in two parts, in two workshops, and participants will have the opportunity to participate in the workshop they chose or in whole program.
During the work participants will be introduced to methodology of work in contemporary theatre through specific work of Plavo pozorište. The work is aimed at discovering of deeper levels of expression and communication. This is achieved by researching completeness of action of body and voice of a participant and freeing of his/her energy. Relying on a contemporary theatre tradition, one of the main characteristics of Plavo pozorište is laboratory approach to work which contains self-researching process. Starting with human approach to theatre, Plavo pozorište sees performer as a human being. More precisely, an active human being, the one who does, changes theatre situation and communicates with spectator, influences audience by using not only movement or text but his/her conscious energy. Through years Plavo pozorište has developed its specific inner technique, based on human experience.

Some impressions of participants of Two Open Weeks 2009
Zeljka, actress, Croatia
… The workshop made me conscious about this: the provocation needs to last all along the performer is on the stage.
The words which for me are light motifs of the work are lasting and endurance…
Andrea, actor, Italy
… The schedule of the work gave the possibility to all the participants to touch different aspects of the group reality: training, performance and social group life…
Josipa, dancer, Croatia
… People from Plavo pozorište succeeded to motivate me to try to overcome some of my performing habits and limitations… Personally I have learnt many new things, I have never worked with songs, resonators and isolations of the movements the way we did it in workshop…
Ela, director and actress, Poland
...It (the work) connected practical and theoretical sessions, which allowed not only to get to know exercises and general methodology used by Plavo Pozoriste, but also to place the practical experiences in a wider context of the contemporary theatre world...
