NAFTALAB 2.0

A theatrical and performative educational project for aspiring theatre practitioners.

We conceived this project to provide an impetus for creation and to inspire theatre practitioners to seek their own meanings and artistic forms, feel their strength and freedom, and find solutions for their use.
Over the course of one month, we will meet three times a week, work with the idea of performativity and its intersection with theatre, hold improvisation sessions, have movement, physical, and dance training sessions, meet with specialists in the fields of theatre, dance, and performance art, and have lectures and discussions.
WHO IS INVITED?1. Theatre practitioners who are currently studying, graduates of theatre educational institutions, or those who have paused their studies but still love their craft.2. Those who live in Kharkiv.3. Those who can attend all sessions according to the schedule.
