Istropolitana Project (INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF THEATRE SCHOOLS)
Event: June 18 – 23, 2010
in Bratislava (Slovakia)
The istropolitana project is one of the theatre festivals in Central Europe which the VŠMU holds regularly every 2 years. It presents the best of creative work of students from academies of dramatic arts.
An important aspect of stagings performed at the 2006 festival is that they are interactive. Istropolitana doesn‘t display only the national character of school performances. It is also a means to get to know the creative and teaching processes of academies through workshops and discussions. For the second time in the festival‘s history all performances will be watched by a professional jury which will make awards in several categories (the best stage performance, the best actor/actress,.the most interresting theatre action.)
Audiences will vote for the most successful play.
The Biennial is a competitive display of stage performances from dramatic academies, created and presented by students in the main programme. This special event has a grand opening ceremony, and a closing ceremony at which category winners will be announced and presentations made.Part of the festival is showing current creative work of Academy ofMusical and Dramatic Arts in Bratislava including stagings and also work of the Departments of Stage and Costume Design, and of Puppetry. Discussions are an essential part of this biennial as creators and their artistic works meet each other and share their experiences and opinions in a good environment.
