Non-commercial theatre seems to be marginalized and weakened across Europe as a consequence of a strong competition of various forms of commercial, for-profit  theatre, explosive growth of commercial leisure options, alive and digital, available to the consumers. Yet the prevailing infrastructural typology and dominant production and programming modes of public theatre remain are hardly capable of responding to the challenge. 
  
Dragan Klaic will examine modes of creativity and programming that could affirm non-commercial theatre as a public well, as a valuable institution of the civil society and of the deliberative democracy.

The seminar is addressing performing arts professionals and those who cherish the values of public culture as audience members, supporters or decision makers and care about the vitality of the public sphere.

Dr Dragan Klaic is a theatre scholar and cultural analyst, a Permanent Fellow of Felix Meritis Foundation in Amsterdam, former Director of Theater Instituut Nederland, researcher and author. He teaches regularly at Leiden University, Central European University Budapest, University of Bologna and elsewhere. He is the initiator and chair of the European Festival Research Project. Among his numerous books the most recent is Mobility of Imagination (2007) on international cultural cooperation.
