Spielplatz DICTIONARY

LAB is the place for experiments, where everyone has its knowledge, wisdom and plays a certain role and feels anxious to discover new things. And sometimes we miss our aim, but then find something beautifully new :-)
SUPERVISIORS - we like to think about them as the ones who accelerate the reactions in the pot... and perhaps are trying to channel them. They are not here to give you recipes.
MODERATOR is the one who listens to you and tries to keep the big picture.
The AIM is to experiment on the making of the performances for the young audience and present the experiment at the Open Showing.
PLAYGROUND is the place where everything is possible even the wildest dreams… or perhaps the 2nd wildest ;-)...
