Atelier for Playwrights

The Atelier for Playwrights is a development program supporting emerging playwrights through a structured process of workshops, individual mentoring and editorial work. The program focuses on collaborative text development, guiding participants from initial ideas to completed dramatic texts. As part of the Sarajevo Theatre Showcase, selected plays are presented through staged readings, allowing authors to share their work in a professional theatrical context and engage with regional and international theatre professionals, producers and institutions.
