PreGlej na glas! Playwriting Festival
Overview
The festival was conceived as part of the PreGlej programme, coordinated by Integrali Cultural Association in collaboration with Glej Theatre, the main goal of which is the constitution of an elementary infrastructure for playwriting in Slovenia. Preglej na glas! Playwriting Festival thus presents an important platform for young authors, as it provides invaluable opportunities for presentations of texts and exchange of ideas and knowledges. Further, the festival aims to affirm the format of staged readings as an independent genre and promotes new modes of perception of the dramatic and the theatrical through publications of drama texts (in collaboration with Mentor Magazine, Apokalipsa Magazine, and the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (AGRFT). The plays presented at the festival are staged at theatres in Slovenia as well as published in literary journals.
The festival publishes the festival bulletin Dramočlen, comprising dramaturgical analyses of staged texts, essays, and commentaries and reflections on the festival's events, written by the participants of Glej Theatre's School of Creative Criticism and dramaturgy students of the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (AGRFT).
2006 represented the second part of a bilateral exchange of directors, playwrights, and theatre organisations between Slovenia and the USA.
