Applied Theatre Conference

The applied theatre conference will take place on the second day, 10. November. It is meant for adults and will be held in the Culture Centre of Kohtla-Järve. The conference gathers theatre practitioners from United Kingdom, Finland, Spain, Palestine and other countries. Throughout the day we will learn about the local and foreign theatre- and drama methods through presentations, workshops and performances. The presentations will be in English so translating equipment will be provided if necessary, so all the nations can understand and participate. In the evening all the participants and the performers are invited to a gathering, where they can relax and enjoy the musical performances. During this day, lunch and coffee breaks are provided for the participants and performers.
