Overview
PreGlej focuses on Slovene contemporary playwriting, especially on emerging writers, its main goal being the establishment of an elementary infrastructure for development and growth of playwriting in Slovenia. PreGlej thus offers opportunities to young writers to work on, develop, and present their texts through close collaboration with the younger generation of theatre directors, actors, playwrights, dramaturges, etc. The main activity of PreGlej is a monthly presentation of staged readings. For each staged reading, 5 to 6 rehearsals are organised, where the playwright continues to develop the play in dialogue with actors and a director. The staged readings are attended by directors, dramaturges, translators, editors of literary journals and publishing houses, producers, etc., which are followed by discussions with the involved makers and the audience.
PreGlej also offers an important information service, the PreGlej.si Playwright's Resource website.
PreGlej Laboratory
In 2005, PreGlej initiated the PreGlej Laboratory, which takes place twice a month. It is an ongoing and flexible play development workshop in which playwrights and directors meet and analyse plays with the goal of encouraging the production and improvement of texts. Works developed in the PreGlej Laboratory have been staged at Ljubljana City Theatre (MGL), Prešeren Theatre Kranj, Glej Theatre, and have been published in different compendiums and journals.
International exchange
PreGlej is also involved in international collaboration and exchange. Within the framework of the PreGlej programme, a residency by three Slovene playwrights was organised in New York. Their plays were premièred in English translation at the European Dreams Festival in New York in Autumn 2006. In 2007, Integrali Cultural Association launched the project Let's integrate!, intended to the development of a new Slovene play in collaboration with a renowned foreign theatre director, which ultimately results in the presentation of the play in the country of the invited director. The project nEEd Circuit, coordinated by the Integrali Cultural Association, aimed to present the work of Eastern European playwrights in the United States and the UK. In 2006, PreGlej entered an international project Focus On the Stage intended to the exchange between authors from nine European countries, namely, Island, Denmark, Finland, Spain, Greece, Check Republic, Slovakia, Serbia, and Slovenia.
In 2006, PreGlej entered a transnational partnership and interdisciplinary research project involving science, theory, and the performing arts, called Myth as Destiny, aiming for a deconstruction of national myths and investigation of the mechanisms of creating and promoting modern myths. The project received support from the European Cultural Foundation and the ERSTE Foundation and included the following partners: Bazaart Belgrade, Serbia, Centre for Youth CeZaM, Croatia, DIS, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mostar Youth Theatre, Bosnia and Herzegovina, PATOS, Serbia, and SAGA and WOMUA, Serbia.
PreGlej has also collaborated with the International Company Project, New York, the Theatre Without Borders, New York, and the Theatre Workshop, New York.
