From October 19 to 21, actors from the Liepāja Theatre, the Liepāja Puppet Theatre, and the Latvia Puppet Theatre are participating in inspiring masterclasses led by choreographer and researcher Dalija Aćin Thelander.
The masterclasses explore inclusive and sensory-based theatre for children with diverse needs, using movement and audience interaction to make performances more accessible and engaging.
“It is amazing to see performers deeply challenged when encountering completely new approaches to the audience, and to see them embracing the task in such a playful spirit,” says Dalija.
Step by step, we’re building a cultural space that welcomes, uplifts, and includes everyone!
To support the personal growth and skill development of Liepāja 2027 volunteers, a training session for volunteer team leaders was held on October 18, focusing on information-gathering techniques and team-building methods. The training was led by non-formal education trainer Staņislavs Babins.
The Skills Exchange Platform “Skill Market” goal is to promote the preservation, development, and mutual exchange of craft skills among masters from different generations, industries, and communities. Project activities will take place from October 2025 to May 2027.
