ART OF FREEDOM

Series of conservatories about Polish theatre in social spaces.  Four meeting with Artist, leaders, creators and practitioners and researchers are focusing on different aspects of theatre art developed in different social areas: city performances, village theatre, social awareness trough the art, and street theatre festivals.  All those aspects were characteristic element cross-points for theatre art and public. New political reality wide opened the opportunities to cross the border of traditional theatres and isolated cells of experimental theatre.  In the reality of social change theatre in Poland is searching of new role – rather active element of  dialogue and common action rather than just a tool of entertainment.
