FROM FEP’S GARDEN

BULLETIN
MOVEMENT – HITCHHIKERS GUIDE THROUGH FEP

Theatre art is considered art of the moment (and no videos of theatre plays will convince us otherwise!)… This is why high-quality reporting from theatrical events is of extreme importance – partly for the purpose of creating an archive, partly for direct informing and enjoying during the festival. However, FEP’s bulletin is not purely made of usual festival materials (information about the content of the festival, interviews, critiques…). FEP’s bulletin transmits the unique experience of the festival, too. FEP’s bulletin can be read with pleasure even if you did not come to the festival, you can keep it, share it and borrow it to friends. Why? An important part of the bulletin are precisely columns of visiting writers. Everyday readers of the bulletin will be able to enjoy a couple of stories/journal-style and other types of recordings (maybe even horoscope and culinary recipes, who knows!) for various ages. Additionally, out theatre critiques are written in a language understandable to all, they’re competent and independent. Theatre critiques are a mandatory part of the festival’s bulletin, because, among other things, we want to compensate for the lack of interest of the established criticism for plays for children and youth, and therefore we have the great responsibility to give each individual play a benevolent, reasoned and informed critique. Next to the critiques, we also collect impressions of spectators of all ages, not only from the plays but also from numerous FEP’s workshops, as well as contents of the round tables. That way, the Bulletin is created not only by the team of writers of “Od malih nog(u)” (Since childhood) but also by all interested visitors and participants of the festivals.

The bulletin is realised with the help of regional platform for development and affirmation of theatre for children and youth OD MALIH NOGU.
