Baltic Applied Theatre School
The Power of Performative Exploration
At Baltic Applied Theatre School, we connect theatre with everyday life. Our work is based on the belief that theatre can make a meaningful impact on organizations, communities, and individuals. We focus on three main areas: Applied Theatre Training, Organisational Practices, and Community Projects.
What ties these areas together is a commitment to authenticity, engagement, and transformation through Applied Theatre. Together, we aim to challenge norms, break boundaries, and use theatre to build a more empathetic and connected world.
