Children´s and Youth´s Theatre Troupe BRNKADLA
The troupe was established in 1990 at the then House for Children and Youth in Brno – Lesna. In 1992 it moved and came under the authority of a new organization – the Leisure Time Centre Luzanky Brno (LTC) – and since 1994 is registered as a citizens’ association Brnkadla attached to the LTC Luzanky.
The Brnkadla Theatre Troupe is aimed at children and youth within the age group of 7 – 26 and older interested in theatre and other forms of drama expression. Its initial membership of 20 has increased to today’s count of approximately 90, working in several different age groups. The troupe has taken part in many theatrical shows and festivals and on several occasions performed abroad – in Poland, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Germany. In 1993 and in 2001 it qualified for the national show Detska Scena and in 2003 the national student theatre show Primasezona.
Brnkadla’s work entails regular meetings, theatre gatherings during the school year, summer and winter camps, organization of theatrical shows (Brnkani, Detska Scena, Primasezona) and participation in competitive and non-competitive shows nationwide. The principal activity is the preparation and performance of new proprietary shows by means of which we aim to enhance the education and development of children’s personal, social and theatrical abilities. Our aim is not to school future actors and other artists but rather, active and creative people who enjoy meeting others, play, together create theatrical themes, amusements and shows for themselves, their friends and other spectators.
