We will explore selected artistic methods, characteristic means of expression and the performance formation processes. Participants will create short theatre pieces and scenes, adapting the methods developed by the Cricot 2 Theatre, referring in particular to the collaborative nature of the work and its main premise: the autonomous theatre, in which all components of the work are of equal importance.
