What idea will you be developing during the IPTL?

I have several ideas that I will try to developed true IPTL workshop. I can shortly described one of the ideas.  Working name of the idea is: Find a character make a play(game).  So audience will have some time to ask the actors( characters) who they are , what they do etc . After that when they will established the characters they will have opportunity to made a play using previous prepared instruction manual with basic steps and structures of a 3 act play(game) where they(audience) will also have a chance to intervene how they will use the steps and how they will work with the characters together.

What excites you about Playable Theatre?

Opportunity to learn something new and to exchange ideas and thoughts about theatre and theatre making.

What are you most looking forward to learning about/discovering during the IPTL?

I’m looking forward to see how different ideas will developed in something that can be really serious and fun in same time.  Also to learn more about Playable Theatre and this theatre practice.
