Creative Europe project We Want More! in which PLAVO Theatre is a partner, gathered from September 12-16, 2025 at the São Luiz theater in Lisbon, a wide group of artists from the European Union, Western Balkans, Turkey and Ukraine, who participated in the workshop Capacity Building for Inclusion of Theatre Artists.
Within the workshop, on September 15, a panel discussion took place, one of participants of which was Marko Potkonjak, actor of PLAVO Theatre, and artistic director of PLAVO for this project. Six smaller focus groups for altogether around 60 participants were held as well. The topic of both the panel and focus groups, was the importance of accessibility and representation of artists and collaborators from underprivileged groups in the performing arts.
We are very glad that Boris Čakširan, choreographer and theatre director and Pavle Pekić, actor and president of the Association of Drama Artists of Serbia, went with the PLAVO Theatre team on this journey and enriched the work of the focus groups with their experience in the field of theatre art and inclusion.
The event was realized in organization of Sao Luiz theatre, in cooperation with other partners of the project: the FEDAPAS organization from Spain, which is the project coordinator, the ATER foundation from Italy, the inclusive theater THEAMA from Greece, PLAVO Theatre from Serbia, the Sommerblut cultural festival from Germany and the EUTOPIA association from Italy.
