Our aim
The Archa Theatre's summer school promotes individual and collective discoveries in theatrical creation, and helps participants find their own voice in their creative processes. The summer school is a platform for reflection on and communication of experience, knowledge and ideas in the field of documentary and social-specific theatre. We strive to achieve new ways of thinking by creating open formats of interaction between participants.

The International Summer School on Theatre in Social Context cooperates with individuals, cultural organizations and educational institutions. We aim to interconnect related learning systems, and build a creative network of artists with a similar approach to contemporary theatre.

Participants come back!

To develop their projects, summer school participants can apply for a short-term residency in Archa.lab in the following year. Each residency ends with a public presentation and debate.
