Theatre Festival - Children acting for Children

Hollawind, the 3rd International Children's Theatre Festival in South Tyrol (Italy) will take place from 23th to 27th April 2008. Applications are welcome.

On the one side there will be spaces for the kids to meet and get in contact. Workshops with theatre experts for non-verbal theatre techniques are planned, of course there will be made games, parties, and lots of other activities which will make sure that the children get in contact even if they surely will not understand each other at all by speaking foreign languages.

Most important is to show the own performance to the others and to show with this what theatre is meant in the own country, how the group does theatre and what themes are important to the kids of the participating countries.

The kids should be in the age between 10 and 14 years and should be prepared to get in contact with the others.

Conference of Kids Theatre

At the same time there is held a conference about Kids Theatre.

The time between 10 and 14 years is the time of the biggest changes in our life. We are not yet adults and nevermore children. Even in our theatre laboratories we have noticed these changes. Playing the “old” children games is getting boring, conflicts between boys and girls are ever present, the children don’t have the experiences which are necessary to act but they want to make “real” theatre. Even the interests of the audience of this age are different.

In the Hollawind Conference we are going to discuss the following questions:

  •  What are the aims of the Children's Theatre?

  •  What methods or genres are suitable for children?

  •  What are children interested in, about what do they want to make and watch theatre
