Theatre Letí (Prague)

Theatre Letí originated in September 2005. Its main artistic program is production and active support and development of contemporary drama. Contemporary plays are an essential part of live art that reflects current needs of its viewers. Letí focuses on cooperation with young Czech playwrights, actors, directors etc – many of them are considered to be significant talents of their generation. Letí currently produces stagings, it provides artistic residencies for Czech and foreign playwrights, it initiates the origin of stagings of contemporary plays, it organizes a showcase of stagings of contemporary plays from the Czech Republic and abroad and it also deals with professional reflection and active work with audience. Amongst the most important activities: Centre for contemporary drama. In 2010 Theatre Letí began working on a new project that was later entitled Centre for Contemporary Drama. The main goal of this Centre is to broadly support contemporary dramatic development in the Czech Republic and to present new Czech and foreign plays to the widest audiences.

Event Details

Playwright: David Košťák Partner: Divadlo Letì Twinned playwright: Biljana Srbljanović

Duration: 7 months Participants: young authors Location: Time: September 2023 – March 2024, 2 meetings per month

This workshop focuses on writing for immersive theatre under the supervision of playwright David Košťák. Given that the output of the workshop would be medium-scale plays that are to be staged the following year, instead of an intensive workshop, Theatre LETÍ chooses the form of regular meetings over a longer time horizon. In addition to working on the text itself under the guidance of David Košťák, the workshop will focus on sharing experiences with established playwrights who will (apart from sharing their professional know-how) work with young authors on partial tasks that will allow them to develop their writing skills – these partial tasks will be focused on specifics such as: situation-comedy, theatre adaptation of a novel, specifics of writing for radio. The workshop will provide 6 authors (3 men and 3 women) with continuous dramaturgical supervision. During first workshop there will be regular meetings with professionals in the field, as well as individual meetings, which aim will be to develop the talent dispositions of participants. Participants will attend masterclass of 6 Czech playwrights and two international ones. The output of the workshop will be 6 plays, which LETÍ will present to the public through an immersive production.
