International Biannual IX Theatre Meetings Therapy and Theatre
LODZ 7 – 9 JUNE 2010
Poleski Art Centre in Lodz, University of Lodz Theatre and Drama Department, Therapy and Theatre Association and Association Domains of Culture – organizers of International Biannual IX Theatre Meetings Therapy and Theatre – would kindly like to invite your theatre group and other persons you recommend to attend this unusual artistic event: the review of performances, the variety of art therapeutic and drama therapeutic workshops and also the scientific conference. We invite both theatre groups (to perform their plays) and the individuals (workshop leaders, lecturers and observers).
International Theatre Meetings Therapy and Theatre means for us that it is the festival devoted to the idea of integration of disabled and non disabled people. The first edition was organized in 1995 and the second in 1996. Then we decided to organize these Theatre Meetings every two years. Our aim is to show that the theatre art of disabled actors is really interesting for different kinds of audience – this consisted of non disabled theatre lovers as well. Such a performance may be a good piece of art, although most often it is just the therapy through art – also very important and worth talking about.
The festival is not a competition. We present the performances of professionals and amateurs, the performances made by adults and children and integration groups.
We also organize exhibitions of fine art pieces of disabled artists and of the photographs documenting the theatre work of our guest theatre companies.
The festival is traditionally accompanied by the scientific conference. Each year the conferences and seminars gather representatives of many kinds of professions connected with the realization of the theatre performance prepared with the participation of disabled actors, but not only – directors, artists, group leaders, educators, teachers, lecturers of high schools, pedagogies, psychologists, journalists, theatre critics, culture managers and students.
This year we would also like to invite you to the International Scientific Conference Theatre As The Event And As The Experience. The conference this time will be held at the University of Lodz by Theatre and Drama Department and will be devoted to the education through theatre.
Theatre Meetings Therapy and Theatre exist already for 15 years. During this time performances of many European countries were shown: from the Netherlands, Belgium, Great Britain, Italy, France, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Germany, Norway, Czech Republic, Hungary, Russia and Poland.
