Theatre Master Courses
We aim to raise the consciousness of established expertise and techniques for a new generation of actors and theatre practitioners. Since 2016, as part of the Theatre Master Courses project, we have been organizing international theatre workshops in Budapest. The courses have been led by internationally acclaimed teachers from all around the world including Ian Morgan (UK), Vladimir Granov (Russia/France), Oleg Zhukovskiy (Russia), Gretchen Egolf (US), Joan Catala (Spain) amongst others. The quality and professionalism of our training programs have attracted an increasing number of participants on a national and international level.
International Theatre Workshop Forum Festival
With the support of the Visegrad Fund, we are organizing the International Theatre Workshop Forum Festival in June 2021, as a 2-week program in Budapest. It is going to include international workshops, meetings, talks, and performances – with ongoing theatre education at its core.
