What does the programme offer?
Road to Drama combines theatre attendance, in-depth discussions, and four hands-on creative workshops.
- Performances and discussions
Participants will attend three selected productions at the SNT Drama Ljubljana, followed by post-show discussions focusing on the themes, staging, and theatrical form of each performance. To support deeper understanding, participants will receive a short written introduction prior to each viewing. - Creative workshops
– The creative power of directing with theatre director Luka Marcen: an introduction to the basic principles of theatre directing through practical and improvisational exercises.
– Acting, body, voice, and speech with leading ensemble member Marko Mandić on developing fundamental acting skills through a holistic approach.
– Creating the vocal dramaturgy of a theatre performance with theatre language consultant Tatjana Stanič: exploring how oral delivery and speech aesthetic shape theatrical experience through guided exercises.
- Memorisation techniques with theatre and film actor and multiple national memory champion Nik Škrlec:
learning mnemonic methods that connect mind, body, and imagination, and support effective text memorisation. - Group reading
Two sessions dedicated to elocution and intonation practice, as well as a deeper exploration of plays and other texts, in collaboration with dramaturg Luna Pentek. - Museum visit
A guided and “active” visit to the Slovenian Theatre Museum, including practical activities related to the current exhibition. - Final event
In July 2026, participants will apply the skills and techniques acquired during the programme in a final presentation, sharing reflections on Slovenian art and culture.
