The aim of the symposium is to acquire and exchange insights about the multiplied opportunities of the contemporary theatrical theories, methods and techniques, both in education and in programs of psychosocial support for vulnerable or marginalized groups, and also within other practices which are oriented at social change and the development of a community culture.  Symposium is designed for scholars, theoreticians, professionals, critics, artists and activists, who are interested in an interdisciplinary approach to the study of cultural phenomena.

The symposium has several sections, each is dedicated to a particular topic, including: drama in education, community theater, techniques of Augusto Boal in the contemporary practices, the principles of participation in the work with vulnerable groups, political performative practices, etc. Several experts of scientific, artistic or activist background are invited to take part in each thematic section . Their dialogue expands and complements with the contribution of other guests in the audience.

Symposium “Theatre in context” ends with the eponymous section in which students of art theory and culture management present their original works in the field of contemporary performing practices and their contextualization.

If you are interested to participate actively please submit an abstract to e-mail pozoristeukontekstu@gmail.com following the instruction that is available in the form.
