PLAY,
like breathing,
is an essential need of every human being. The play represents a
continuous DEVELOPMENT. -
THEATRE GAME
is the art of the
present – because the game requires presence – and allows
continuous rediscovering of life through the present empirical
framework. -
THEATRE is
not and it should not be a privilege of theatre institutions only
and professional troupes, but a research and creative expression
tool of every individual or a group for the purpose of personal
development and social engagement. -
IMPROVISATION
is LIFE.
Playful, unpredictable. There are no mistakes in it – but rather
moments in which one constantly learns, grows. Fear of the unknown
becomes a creative challenge. Cooperation and focus on another being
triumph over competition and egocentricity. One should only want –
dare – change. -
Theatre
is a DIALOGUE.
The dialogue of all those being part of a theatrical event.
Participants and spectators and social community alike… In order
to achieve this, theatre should be free of institutions, box scene,
repertoire policy, backstage manoeuvering… -
Every
BIT OF LIFE
is valuable and relevant enough to be used as a drama template for a
stage, and every man is free and capable of conveying an emotion,
message, beauty, struggle by using dramatic tools… -
Between
the social bottom and the social top, between repression on one side
and cultural and artistic elite on the other, we demand FREEDOM
FOR PLAY AND THEATRE FOR ALL PEOPLE -
You
do not have to go to the THEATRE,
you can MAKE one
your one -
Young directors,
playwrights, actors – stop loitering in theatre lobbies and cafes
waiting for your chance to play and act. Wherever there are people,
wherever life is, there is a CHANCE FOR THEATRE, more
thrilling and true, crueler and gentler than any drama.
Psychologists, pedagogues, social workers, teachers and all of you
who did not give up on people and think that you can improve the
existing practice by introducing new techniques – embark into
APPLIED THEATRE. -
The mission of
APSART is for the applied theatre to become a recognized and
widely accepted practice, at least as much as it is the case in
other countries worldwide in working with various social groups. -
Our Aristotles of
the new age are Augusto Boal, Keith Johnstone, prof. James Thоmpson,
Dorothy Heathcote, Viola Spolin, Sue Jannings, Chris Johnston, Geese
Theatre, Jacques Lecoq and many other industrious theatre
missionaries belonging to various walks of life -
And finally, i.e.
primarily, all this is for the sake of humanity, love
and Truth.
