WHAT IS PARTICIPATE IN YOUR LIFE?
Five theatre companies have formed network with the aim of exploring interactivity in children’s theatre, using the method “theater of the participant”. In the period of August 2018 till January 2019 we will meet to discuss and explore the method together and on this ground establish the network. During this period we will have one meeting in Lithuania (August 2018) and one workshop in Hungary (January 2019).
We will explore the method further trough two workshops (Iceland fall 2019 and Hungary spring 2020). In fall 2020 we will arrange an open conference in Bergen, Norway where we invite a broad spectre of artists from all over Europe.
The main aim of this project is to exchange artistic methods and approches: to get to know each other's cultural background and to ensure know-how transfer. In the future the members of this network should be able to create international projects on different areas of performativity. Our long-term goal is to create a platform of knowledge where the partners connect performative tools and participation, concentrating on children and youngsters. We hope that the project can stimulate other artists.

OUR VISION
The method “theater of the participant” is based on the British Theater in Education. It uses a performance technique based on the involvement of the audience, that many times blur the boundaries between actor and audience. In this way, we make sure that the participants (audience) are able to have an impact on the events and be able to have their own relationship to the problem put in focus. We believe that if people are able to choose and make decisions in their fantasy or in an imaginary world, they are going to be able to do so in real life as well.
We believe that what the method represent can be useful in other european countries for both children, youngsters, pedagogues, community developers and theater professionals. It opens for professional opportunities where we put interactivity and participation in its focus to reach the audience in new ways.
