A workshop led by Dejan Stojković and assisted by Marko Potkonjak, PLAVO Theatre actors, musicians and theatre pedagogues
September 27 – October 3, 2025
This workshop is intended for anyone interested in exploring and mastering the principles of the creative process within laboratory theatre. Through practical work, participants will engage with:
- the methodology of working on actor’s improvisations and scores,
- the work on physical actions and text,
- relation to sound/music,
- finding ways to transform individual intentions into creative acts,
- understanding how individual creative expression functions and communicates within a collective creative process.
Additionally, through specific exercises rooted in human experience, the workshop will focus on discovering personal motivations that unlock the individual creative process, as well as exploring ecstatic energy – playful energy – as a space of essential creative freedom.
The work will be held:
on September 27 and October 3, 17:00 – 19:00 and
from September 28 – October 2, 17:00 – 20:00.
