Duplo Dno Project – 2004 – 5
An ongoing cross community theatre project based in Banja Luka & Prijedor in Bosnia. Working with a group of 30 young adults from across Northern Bosnia, the project began with a number of training workshops exploring conflict management & human rights before beginning to apply what participants learnt in devising a theatre performance that was shown in Sanski Most (a Bosniak town in the Federation), Kosarac (a Bosniak community in Republika Srpska) & Prijedor (a mainly Serbian town). This process involved taking participants into areas they’d not previously visited.
