In this workshop, Karolina Spaic, director and artistic director of ZID Theater, analyses the process of creating a solo performance that is based on the autobiographical material of the performer and, at the same time, becomes universal in order to communicate with the audience. Where to start, what steps to take and what awaits the performer-creator in this work process and personal journey are important steps in this workshop. Karolina will take you through these stages of the creative process and give you an insight into how you can start working on a solo show.

Based on her experience and having worked in the theatre for more than thirty years, Spaic directed and artistically advised many actors on their way to a solo performance. Performances like Vincent & I by Sebo Bakker, Milkwhite by Tamara Rosso, Rebel by Naima Baraka, among others, were created, which were played all over Europe and in the USA.

Karoline and ZID theater also have an offer for the participants: anyone who wants to start working on a solo show and sends us a good proposal by the end of September 2024 can come to the ExploreZ festival in Amsterdam in May 2025 as an artist in residency and show their work in progress.

Maximum number of participants: 25
