Introduction in Polish.

Open rehearsals are an excellent opportunity to learn more about the workshop of a theatre group and a director. A small group of participants enters the auditorium for an hour to watch the artists at work in an intimate atmosphere. The rehearsal includes asking questions and getting to know the artists, listening to their brief commentary on their work, and – most importantly – getting a behind the scenes look at the creative process.

John Stanisci – New York Times best selling artist and writer for DC and Marvel Comics, the drawer of such characters as Spider-Man, Batman, and many more.

The  meeting with John Stanisci is an opportunity not only to listen about the reality of life as an artist, a draughtsman, an independent creative, but also to find out what it is like to work for such giants of the comics sector as Marvel or DC Comics. To get to know from the inside the situation in the world labour market. To find out what circumstances might occur to help you develop, and also what challenges you will have to face. This is a one-off opportunity to listen to the individual experiences of someone who has spent his entire professional career in this very sector.

If someone has already taken the first steps on the road to creativity, you can bring your own portfolio to the meeting and discuss your work with our guest (listen to his advice and suggestions, and ask specific questions concerning your own interests and personal plans).

Shakespeare and comics? Yes! Shakespeare was present in comics as early as the 1950s or maybe even earlier. This lecture is intended to trace how comics changed, along with the approach of comics artists from various countries to the adaptation of Shakespeare’s plays over the years. We will pay particular attention to Hamlet’s best-known monologue, “To be or not to be.” The lecture is intended for not only those interested in comics and Shakespeare but also for those who wish to become acquainted with this phenomenon and learn how to read comics.

During the activities, participants will theatrically explore the theme of the cult of romantic love through work with the body and the imagination. Coming out of pop-cultural images of this motif, the participants will examine the complicated paths of feelings which, as a result of a magic charm, the young Shakespearean lovers, Hermia, Demetrius, Helena, and Lysander, will have to follow. They will also check how the words of Lysander resonate in the minds and hearts of contemporary youth “Thy love?…Out, loathed medicine; O, hated poison, hence.”
