SIXTH SENSE OF THE CITY How does your city smell? How many eyes see you when you run a red light? What smells waft down your street? Are you also an imprint of your city? How many cities are yours? How many of ours?
The graduate immersive site-specific production of the student creative team from the Department of Educational Drama at Prague’s DAMU deals with the phenomenon of the city. The initial impulse for the way to the production was the interactive exhibition I City at the Sladovna gallery in Písek. Based on honest participatory personal research of the city, the authors look at the city and cities, the basal environment of most of us, from various levels and angles with their collective stage action. The result is an articulated scenic oratorio about the dreams and desires we have with and for cities.
ŠESTPLUSJEDENSTATEČNÝCH The ensemble was born in collaboration with students of the MA programme at the Department of Dramatic Education at Prague’s DAMU. Working together deepened relationships and forged a desire to create together beyond the obligatory tasks. The ensemble is made up of a diverse range of personalities, their personal and professional backgrounds, as well as their local backgrounds, shape the specific spirit of the ensemble. The tastes and joys of creating and being together have brought other colleagues to collaborate.
