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.

"Applied Theatre is an opportunity to discover solutions in situations where you otherwise cannot. It hands you not only your own resources, but ideas, energy and support from the community." - Liia Kanemägi, BATS participant.

Join us in reminiscing on last year's Baltic Applied Theatre School - three profound, active and unforgettable workshops in Lithuania and Latvia that connected artists and professionals from all three Baltic states. 

Check out the video where you get a feel of the training, the facilitators and what participants took out from this journey.

Welcome to our very first online series on Applied Theatre! In this series, we have interviewed theatre practitioners who have been working for decades with different communities and in different contexts. Each short video will tackle one aspect of Applied Theatre to give viewers an introductory knowledge about this rich and ever-expanding field. 

If you want to know what topics we cover, check out the blog. And here you come to the YouTube Playlist.

This is possible thanks to the German Embassy in Vilnius, which supports our endeavours to spread the knowledge of applied theatre!
