Methodika has invited four internationally acclaimed masters:

The final day an open debate will sum up the results of the workshops. Theatre scholars, critics, writers, philosophers and other interested parties are invited to take part. A variety of specialists will be invited as guest lecturers, discussions, music and performances will be arranged in the evenings.
