Workshop #3 Writing for immersive theater

Playwrights: David Košťák and Kateřina Součková
Partner: Divadlo Letì
Twinned playwright: Mihaela Michailov

Co-funded by the European Union

Duration: 12 months
Participants: 3 young directors
Location: Divadlo Letì
Time: January 2024 – April 2025

The workshop #3 will focus on the collaboration between the playwright and the director. In the case of immersive theater, the text is finalized only during the rehearsals, when the directors, set-designers, actors and other team members work collaboratively on its final form. The group will therefore be expanded by 3 young directors. Together with the playwrights, they will continue working on the texts that will be the output of workshop 1 and 2. The main tutor will be Martina Schlegelová, who specializes in immersive staging of contemporary plays. In addition to this main task, however, meeting with other lecturers will enrich the programme with other possibilities for staging contemporary plays.
