The BUZZ Network, an EU project aiming at cross-pollinating youth theatre practice, is calling for professional directors and artists who create performance work with young people to participate in an Artists Training Lab at Rogaland Theater in Stavanger, Norway from 6-10 March 2023.
Titled ‘Dramaturgical Approaches to Youth Theatre’, this funded five-day programme will offer professional youth theatre artists the chance to explore dramaturgical approaches to youth theatre, including questions such as:
- How we can equip our dramaturgical toolbox?
- Dramaturgy beyond text, how can these tools be used throughout all areas of performance.
- Does the written word still have its place in youth theatre?
- How do we start our projects? How can we identify what dramaturgical approach needed to make our project clearer?
Programme benefits:
- High quality insights into international youth theatre best practice across Europe.
- Exploring the diversity of youth theatre practice across Europe, through peer-to-peer learning and group work.
- Developing your artistic and professional practice, broadening your network and increasing your confidence of working internationally.
- Your travel to Stavanger, accommodation, and all meals during the lab will be provided.
Up to 17 artists from across Europe will be selected for this training opportunity: 2 artists from each of Scotland, Ireland, Belgium, and Norway; 4 artists from Germany; 5 artists applying from elsewhere in Europe. Applicants should be based in the European Union, or another eligible country, including UK.
