Background
Nowadays the main street-theatre organisation in Slovenia, Ana Monró Theatre was founded by the well-known poet and actor Andrej Rozman Roza and interdisciplinary artist Marko A. Kovačič as an independent theatre group. Primarily engaged in improvisational, music, and humour theatre, GAM quickly became known for its caustic humour (known as the Monró humour), a wide range of references, collective work, and, of course, involvement of the audience. Since 2012 working as an association engaged in production, festival activities, international networking, and education, GAM has throughout the years developed into a widely acclaimed street-theatre actor and producer.
Ana Monró Theatre played an important role in the establishment of KUD France Prešeren Arts and Culture Association and Roza's Theatre in Ljubljana.
Street theatre training
In autumn 2007, Ana Monró Theatre launched ŠUGLA, a course in street theatre, to stimulate the development of the Slovene street theatre scene and its production. Held once a week during a two-year period, the programme provides education and training in different fields (acrobatics, fire eating/breathing, theatre improvisation, movement, acting, costume design, etc.), taught by renowned tutors in 12 different modules.
Within the frame of Ana Desetnica International Street Theatre Festival, the programme MašinA is organised, which gives opportunity to young street theatre artists to present their work at the festival.
International cooperation
GAM has travelled widely throughout the former Yugoslavia, Austria, the Czech Republic, Columbia, France, Hungary, Germany, the Netherlands, Russia, Spain, and Switzerland.
Between 2003 and 2006, the theatre was involved in an international network Eunetstar and in 2008 and 2009 it was a member of Meridians, a co-production network of festivals from Great Britain, Belgium, Croatia, France, Germany, Ireland, Spain, Italy, and Sweden, within which it also co-produced two international performances: Alhambra Container [Kontejner Alhambra] (2008) and Remember the Future [Spomni se bodočnosti] (2008). Since 2001, GAM is also a member of the international Network Circostrada, European Platform for Information, Research and Professional Exchanges.
Ana Monró Theatre is the initiator of the project The Mast of Europe within the frame of Maribor, European Capital of Culture 2012. The project established a connection between Maribor and the Portuguese Guimarães and the future Capital of Culture in Marseilles (2013) and the former ones in Bologna, Genoa, Madrid, Salamanca, Lisbon, and Porto.
