"You are doing a great job, that you are implementing such a creative project, since every theater in Russia is usually isolated and concentrated on its own activity, the laboratory becomes a platform where communication, exchange of experiences and multiplying of ideas takes place," deputy director for Creative issues of the St. Petersburg State Children's Musical Theater "Zazerkaliye", managing director of the Russian National Theater Award "Harlequin" Marina Kornakova said. She held a show and discussion of the performances "How the Cat Wandered where It Fits", RAMT (Moscow) and "When I'm Little again", the BDT after G.Tovstonogov (St. Petersburg).
Within the framework of the laboratory, participants became more familiar with such a direction as "Baby theater" - a theater for the youngest spectators. Training on this topic was conducted by the artistic director of the Laboratory for creating professional performances "Baby Lab" Ekaterina Gayeva. According to her, when working with kids, every detail is important, including an environment that surrounds them.
The organizers of the laboratory are the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Tatarstan and the Union of Theater Workers of the Republic of Tatarstan. The project partner is the Tatar State Academic Theater after G. Kamal.
