Baltic Applied Theatre School
Learning the Fun Way
At Baltic Applied Theatre School, we empower socially engaged artists in the Baltics and Germany through applied theatre training. Our programmes go beyond the stage, offering a foundation course, specialised courses, and tailored workshops for companies and organisations.
Theatre engages our senses, emotions, imagination, and intellect, with enormous social impact. That's why we invest in networking and training for socially engaged artists to harness theatre's transformative power to effect positive change.
Join us in exploring your creativity, building meaningful relationships with communities, and creating a better tomorrow through participatory arts courses and community theatre projects.
