A workshop for developing drama texts at the 54th Week of Slovenian Drama
»The Thoughts of My Words«
Prešeren Theatre Kranj and KUD Krik
About the event
The workshop "The Thoughts of My Words", mentored by Nina Kuclar Stiković, is aimed at authors who wish to hone their playwriting skills. The workshop’s core will be the thought of the drama text – what do I, the author – convey with my work, and what idea do my words represent?
The authors should apply for the workshop with a text they are already developing or with a concept for a future play. The workshop will take place between 25 and 29 March (25–26 in Ljubljana and 27–29 in Kranj).
Organised by: Prešeren Theatre Kranj and KUD Krik
Nina Kuclar Stiković graduated from dramaturgy and performing arts at the UL Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television and has worked as a dramaturg and playwright ever since. So far, six of her original short or feature-length plays have been either staged/presented or published. In them, she blends traditional drama dialogue with a free, relaxed style. In her texts, she often thematises the problems of her generation. In 2021, Drama SNT Maribor staged her play Tomorrow Looked Different In My Dreams, for which she won the Young Playwright award at the 51st Week of Slovenian Drama. This text was also selected as the reading for the final exam of the art high schools in 2023 for the course in history and theory of theatre and film. The students from Fran Miklošič High School in Ljutomer and the students from the Art High School in Ljubljana staged it, and the Ljubljana production was selected for the Transgenerations Festival in 2023. In April 2023, Glej Theatre staged the baptismal production of her play two little women, which was nominated for the Slavko Grum Award for the best new Slovenian play. The staging has also been selected for the Accompanying Programme of the 54th Week of Slovenian Drama. This season, she debuted in the Belgrade Drama Theatre as the dramaturg for Elena Ferrante’s Lying Life of Adults, which she also adapted for stage. In autumn 2023, she mentored the playwriting workshop Mladi Vzkrik, produced by KUD Krik and Mladi Zmaji.
