Festival colloquia

These meetings aim to exchange information on the working methods of the theatre companies in relation to the theatre practices of their own country. Public participation is most welcome.

The training method of each group (whether they give any kind of workshops or voice training lessons, speech, dance, singing, music, etc. to develop their skills on stage; what is the ratio of rehearsals aimed at creating a performance to that of training members to become much better actors, to enrich their means of expressions on stage).

The panel is not there as experts to judge, criticise or adjudicate the performances, but rather as three theatre professionals who work with amateur theatre, whose role is to facilitate the opening up of discussion and debate.

The colloquia are hosted by Aled Rhys-Jones, Colloquia President (United Kingdom), Istvan Pinczes, Doctor of Liberal Arts, stage director and teacher (Hungary), Doctor of Arts Danute Vaigauskaite, Head of Directing Dept. at University of Klaipeda and former NEATA President (Lithuania).
