Epik teater že vrsto let dela z mladino in otroki. Poleg vsakoletnih poletnih gledaliških delavnic na Blagovni (Proseniško, Šentjur), ki se jih udeleži okoli 20-25 otrok iz Šentjurja in okolice, se redno ukvarjamo z organizacijo otroškega gledališča – poudarek na Improvizaciji, stand up komediji. Z mladimi talenti se redno srečujemo na gledaliških delavnicah, kjer delamo skupinsko in individualno. V sodelovanju z POŠ Blagovna smo na odre srečanj otroških gledaliških skupin v organizaciji JSKD poslali dva avtorska projekta, ki sta izhajala iz scenarija Toma Costa iz Epik teater, pod režijo pa se je podpisala Edith Costo, aktivna improvizatorka ter učiteljica na šoli. V kratkem (ko bo covid situacija to dopuščala), bomo po šolah v naši regiji organizirali impro srečanja šolskih skupin, sočasno pa bomo izvajali usposabljanja mentorjev ter pomoč pri izvedbi rednih vaj na posameznih šolah.
Epik Teater has been working with young people and children for many years. In addition to the annual summer theater workshops at Blagovna (Proseniško, Šentjur), which are attended by 20-25 children from Šentjur and the nearby towns and villages, we regularly organize children’s theater activities – mostly based on Improvisation, stand up comedy. We meet with our young talents regularly on our theater workshops, where we work focus on group and individual work. In cooperation with Primary school Blagovna, we premiered two theatre plays, which were selected for the children’s theater festival, organized by the SLovenian public fund for culture (JSKD). The plays were based on the screenplay by Tom Costo from Epik teater, and directed by Edith Costo, an active improviser and teacher at the school. In the near future (when the covid situation gets better), we will organize impro workshops on schools across our region, and provide training for mentors.
