SETKÁNÍ/ENCOUNTER je mezinárodní festival divadelních škol s více než třicetiletou tradicí. Jedinečnost festivalu spočívá v tom, že hlavní organizátory tvoří studenti Divadelní fakulty Janáčkovy akademie múzických umění.

SETKÁNÍ/ENCOUNTER

And maybe it cannot be compared in quality to the articles written by the amazing editors of the Meeting Point blog, led by the excellent editor-in-chief Barbora Lahučká, who have done professional work, and whom I would like to thank. But it's my text. Written from the bottom of my heart. And maybe it will sound like a thank-you speech, but I am truly grateful, and my fragile poetic soul can't express it any better.&nbsp;&nbsp;The SETKÁNÍ/ENCOUNTER festival holds a special place in the hearts of many students and graduates of the Theatre Management and Stage Technology Studio. It is primarily an educational tool, but I found passion in it. Thanks to the festival, I built strong relationships with my colleagues and classmates. Thank you for them. Thank you to them.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of the community that is created within the studio and passed down through the years. I am thankful for the atmosphere and environment in which we can all work, share our thoughts, joys, and worries. I value the support of our teachers. The festival was just the cherry on top of the cake, which was made possible only through our togetherness and cooperation. An awesome week was the reward for almost two years of work that my classmates and I have put in.&nbsp;&nbsp;Heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in the festival in any way: pedagogues, jury members, schools, guests, ambassadors, workshop and lecture leaders, interns, and volunteers. But I want to specifically thank my classmates from the Core Organizing Team, without whom we wouldn't have been able to make the festival happen. I want to thank Yelyzaveta Sytnychenko, my co-head of the Media and Promotion section, thank you bro, Kateřina Halamíčková, Hana Severinová, Julie Michalčíková, Anna Šestáková, Alberto Zorzo, Pavel Jirgl, Anna Vodáková, and Pepa Kožnárek. Thank you, colleagues.<component-embed-media src="https://s3.dualstack.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/mediaboard-publishing/blogs/0FQYZY1pji4irQCws8Z70ITkyIW7A6Sm" alt="Photo: Jasmína Georgievová" visible_alt="true" url="" content_type="image/jpeg" type="image"></component-embed-media>The festival is not only about the program; it is about the people and organizations who believe in it.

The International Festival of Theatre Schools SETKÁNÍ/ENCOUNTER is not only a primarily educational platform. It is a community that spans all academic years.

A možná se nebude moci, co se kvality týče, srovnávat s texty, které vytvořili úžasní redaktoři Meeting Point blogu v čele se skvělou šéfredaktorkou Barborou Lahučkou, kteří odvedli profesionální práci, a kterým tímto děkuji. Ale bude to můj text. Psaný od srdce. A možná bude znít jako děkovný proslov, já jsem ale opravdu vděčná a má velmi chatrná poetická duše to nezvládne vyjádřit lépe.&nbsp;Festival SETKÁNÍ/ENCOUNTER má místo v srdci nejednoho současného studenta a absolventa Ateliéru divadelní produkce a jevištní technologie. Je to primárně edukativní nástroj, ale já v něm našla vášeň. Díky festivalu jsem si vybudovala pevné vztahy s mými kolegy, s mými spolužáky. Děkuji za ně. Děkuji jim.Děkuji za možnost být součástí komunity, která na ateliéru vzniká a přenáší se napříč ročníky. Jsem vděčná za atmosféru a prostředí, ve kterém můžeme všichni pracovat, sdílet své myšlenky, radosti a starosti. Vážím si podpory našich pedagogů. Festival byl jen třešničkou na dortu, který byl vytvořen jen díky sounáležitosti a spolupráci. Úžasný týden byl odměnou za téměř dva roky práce, kterou jsme se spolužáky odvedli.&nbsp;Děkuji všem, kteří se na festivalu jakkoliv podíleli: pedagogům, porotcům, školám, hostům, ambasadorům, vedoucím workshopů a přednášek, stážistům a dobrovolníkům. Ale především chci jmenovitě poděkovat všem mým skvělým spolužákům z Úzkého organizačního týmu, bez kterých bychom festival nedotáhli do konce. Chci poděkovat Yelyzavetě Sytnychenko, mé spoluvedoucí sekce Média a Propagace, děkuji bráško, Kateřině Halamíčkové, Haně Severinové, Julii Michalčíkové, Anně Šestákové, Albertu Zorzovi, Pavlovi Jirglovi, Anně Vodákové a Pepovi Kožnárkovi.

Mezinárodní festival divadelních škol SETKÁNÍ/ENCOUNTER není jen primárně edukativní platforma. Je to komunita, která vzniká napříč ročníky.

During the main festival program, 11 ensembles from a total of 9 countries performed on stage. Their performances were evaluated by an expert jury consisting of Amin Boudrik, Sára Torley-Havas, Davide Giovanzana, and Aris Pretelin-Esteves.&nbsp;The Czech theatre scene was represented not only by students of the hosting university JAMU but also by Prague’s HAMU. International participation included ensembles from Poland, Slovakia, Germany, Bulgaria, Latvia, Switzerland, Korea, and Ukraine.&nbsp;In addition to the main program, the festival also offered a rich OFF Programme, that started off the festival with an opening ceremony. Another part of the OFF Programme were moderated discussions about the individual performances were held daily hroughout the week, moderated discussions about the individual performances were held daily, workshops, and other events.&nbsp;On the final day of the festival, the OFF Programme featured the monodrama Cucumis sensus by the organizing JAMU team, as well as film screenings including movies such as Irenka (Barbora Kučerová), Mistakes (Jasmína Georgievová and her team), Bohyně – cesty osudu (Dominika Prášková and her team), Luděk (Šimon Pávek), and Rande (Klára Prchalová and her team).&nbsp;The festival concluded with a ceremonial closing event during which the jury awarded The Marta Awards.&nbsp;In the directing category, the award was given to Lada Borovska from The Aleksander Zelwerowicz National Academy of Dramatic Arts from poland for her work on Balladyna 68 – in a slightly shortened version&nbsp;for the clarity and maturity of the directing that is delivered by the actress within a precise and fully guided performance.&nbsp;The award for Best Acting Performance was given to Yelyzaveta&nbsp;Pustovalova&nbsp;from ukrainian&nbsp;Ivan Franko National University&nbsp;od&nbsp;Lviv. Her performance in the &nbsp;inscenation&nbsp;Sex Education. Girl's Edition where she embodied all the women of the story trough outstanding performance that conveys self-empowerment, freedom, generosity and pride. &nbsp;A performance that reflects a powerful sense of communal work that offers hope in a world in crisis.&nbsp;The Marta Award for scenography was awarded to Kim Si-won, Park Se-eun a Shin So-jeong from Korea National University of Arts, for their work on the play Animal Farm, for creating a visual dramaturgy of space, light, objects, that generates its own unique meaning and for its collaborative spirit and bold vision. The ability to abstract and adapt the original design by coping different technical conditions without losing its core concept-indeed, even enhancing it. They demonstrate that, without their co-creation, bringing this performance to life would have been impossible&nbsp;The last awarded were Onur&nbsp;Kurtulmus&nbsp;a Ali Candas in the caregory of the Best Script,&nbsp;from switz&nbsp;Bern Academy of the Arts, for their text for the play Yakamoz. The judges appreciated how they accomplished to speak in the theatre about a socially sensitive, current, and divisive topic in a way that is both personal and accessible, without pathos or self-pity; transforming the stage into a community space.&nbsp;The festival would not have been possible without the financial support of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, the State Culture Fund of the Czech Republic, the South Moravian Region, the City of Brno and the Brno-střed district.&nbsp;The festival was held under the auspices of Mgr. Jan Grolich (Governor of the South Moravian Region), Oto Klempíř (Minister of Culture of the Czech Republic), the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic, the Czech Commission for UNESCO, JUDr. Markéta Vaňková (Mayor of the City of Brno), and Mgr.

In mid- April, Brno was swept up in a spiral of creativity, art, and theatre in the form of The International Festival of Theatre Schools SETKÁNÍ/ENCOUNTER 2026.

Polovinou měsíce dubna Brno roztočila spirála kreativity, umění a divadla v podobě Mezinárodního festivalu divadelních škol SETKÁNÍ/ENCOUNTER.

Monday evening did not mean just arriving in&nbsp;Brno, it meant the first ENCOUNTER. An encounter with the editorial team, a group of people assembled with a clear purpose: to connect diverse personalitiesfrom various fields of study, with different experiences and perspectives on the world. We could only hope that the vortex of this diversity, which had just begun to spin, would work. That it would be creative, supportive, safe, and inspiring.&nbsp;Ideas were flourishing under the wooden beams of the editorial office at the Theatre Faculty of the Janáček Academy of Music and Performing Arts. The blog took a breath, it was enriched with diverse textual and audiovisual formats, and this mosaic-like group of people started to find&nbsp;common ground.&nbsp;The creative process requires—just like a spiral—time, movement, and depth. The last thing such a fragile mechanism needs is a clenched fist from the editor-in-chief, or a stare with a deepening furrowbetween her brows. It demands free space, innovative artistic stimuli, and inspiring personalities all around.&nbsp;We can consider this series of original articles (capturing the atmosphere of this unique theatrical and festival experience) a result, but I see the true result in a different form. In a specific row in the audience, full of diversity, all of whom—in response to the question “Who among you made new friends here during the festival?”—raised their hands in a fluid, unified gesture.&nbsp;Our editorial spiral began to turn slowly and unobtrusively in the heart of Brno, then dynamically increased in speed until it finally spread out and sent us back to our homes. No one leaves the same as theyarrived.&nbsp;&nbsp;Let the spirit of the festival resonate within us; let’s take our time, let the dance of the spiral slow down and unfold in our hearts, so that we may meet here again together, perhaps next year. To close thecircle? No, just to experience another twist in our new friendship.&nbsp;I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who contributed to the festival and who allowed us to express ourselves creatively.&nbsp;&nbsp;And above all, I would like to personally thank my team:&nbsp;Aneta Zákoutská&nbsp;Eva Nývltová&nbsp;Kamila Jášová&nbsp;Veronika Vaňková&nbsp;Anna Seifertová&nbsp;Justýna Jirsová&nbsp;Alena Růžičková&nbsp;Lukáš Hladík&nbsp;Jakub Tesárek&nbsp;and Tomáš Chudoba.&nbsp;&nbsp;author: Barbora Lahučká

When the Circles closes, the Spiral begins

The experience began even before we took our seats. The theatre foyer was transformed into a scene of controlled, but entirely organic chaos. A group of students in pink vests labelled "Staff" took over the space. Not as an organizational unit, but like&nbsp;a force of nature.&nbsp;&nbsp;They interacted with the arriving guests, weaving micro-stories, dancing, and speaking a language of their own; though we couldn't understand the words, the energy was unmistakable. Those who joined the dance became part of the production; those who moved aside in confusion played the role of the surprised. It was clear, then, that this year’s edition was not just a showcase of student work, but one grand, collective performance. This euphoric prelude ended the moment the "staff" began shedding their vests and inviting us into the main space.&nbsp;&nbsp;Inside the hall, a surprise awaited. The lights were not aimed at the stage, but directly into our faces. It was all of Us – the audience, guests, teachers, members of the jury, and, above all, thecreators themselves. We were the "Soul" that had been manifesting itself throughout the five days of the festival.&nbsp;&nbsp;The proceedings were initially conducted by an old acquaintance: Hot Dog. A mascot and the embodiment of a commercial, self-centred persona. A lingering nod to the opening ceremony and the character of Pravdomil Vincent. As the former staff members reappeared, now dressed in white and beige tones, a metaphor for the purification of art began to unfold. While Hot Dog represented noise, advertising, and ego, the figures in white symbolized the essential purity of theatre.&nbsp;In a hypnotic dance of circles and spirals, the figures closed in around Hot Dog. He resisted, trying to drive them away, attempting to halt the relentless movement of purity that threatened him. The climax came when Hot Dog was literally stripped of his mask. Suddenly, we were no longer looking at a commercial object, a money-making machine, or a bloated ego.&nbsp;&nbsp;<component-embed-media src="https://s3.dualstack.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/mediaboard-publishing/blogs/gI69ZTjGnFx4NlNfBKGtLu7a5Svccpyn" alt="photo: Jasmína Georgievová" visible_alt="true" url="" content_type="image/jpeg" type="image"></component-embed-media>&nbsp;Soon, the hall was filled with soft finger-snapping and a chant that relied not on words, but on the harmonization of individual tones. Every voice was distinct and original, yet together they created a perfect resonance. In that moment, the festival spiral seemed to reach its centre.&nbsp;Then, the Spirit of Theatre itself took the floor, its voice speaking of the experiences of the past week. It reminded us of the character Laika, and with it, the fact that theatre has many faces. Some make us laugh, others provoke us, but all ultimately unite us.&nbsp;This sentiment was seamlessly echoed by Barbara Maria Willi, the Rector of the Janáček Academy of Performing Arts. She spoke of the festival's immense power to smooth over sharp edges. "Sometimes the boundaries blur between who we were when we arrived and who we are when we leave," she told the hushed hall, perfectly capturing the transformative energy of the entire week. Emotional thanks from Festival Director Kateřina Halamíčková and wishes for a "strong future" from the Dean of the Theatre Faculty, Blanka Kolegar, confirmed one thing: Laika's manifesto had been fulfilled.&nbsp;&nbsp;The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Marta Awards, celebrating those unafraid to express and create – young actors, screenwriters, directors, dramaturgs, costume designers, and everyone who kept this year’s theatrical spiral turning.&nbsp;&nbsp;The international jury (Sára Törley-Havas, Aris Pretelin-Esteves, Amin Boudrika, and Davide Giovanzana) faced the difficult task of selecting the brightest talents from the spiral’s many layers.&nbsp;&nbsp;<ul><li>The Award for Directing went to Poland. Lada Borovska from The Aleksander Zelwerowicz National Academy of Dramatic Arts was honoured for the production Balladyna 68 – in a slightly shortened version for her incredible maturity and ability to transform the simplest means into a precise and powerful theatrical language.&nbsp;</li></ul><ul><li>The Award for Scenography was accepted by an energetic trio from South Korea: Kim Si-won, Park Se-eun, and Shin So-jeong from the Korea National University of Arts—for their immensely dynamic work with light and space in the production Animal Farm.&nbsp;</li></ul><ul><li>One of the most powerful and emotional moments of the ceremony was the presentation of the Award for Acting. It was won by Yelyzaveta Pustovalova from Ukraine from Ivan Franko National University of Lviv for her mesmerizing performance in Sex Education. Girls Edition, where she embodied all the female characters of the story.&nbsp;</li></ul><ul><li>The final Award for Best Script went to creators Onur Kurtulmus and Ali Candas from the Bern Academy of the Arts, Switzerland, for the text Yakamoz. The jury highlighted the unprecedented ease, lack of pathos, and immense naturalness with which they brought a weighty&nbsp;social theme to the stage. The kind of execution that evokes sincere joy and perhaps a touch of creative jealousy.&nbsp;</li></ul>&nbsp;<hr>&nbsp;&nbsp;Souls have been nourished, the masks cast aside, and SETKÁNÍ/ENCOUNTER 2026 has come to an end, but its echo will not fade.&nbsp;"From which side will you look at me? And will I still have the same shape?" the festival spiral asked us at the very beginning. During this closing ceremony, we received the answer. We did not flatten reality. Quite the opposite: we found incredible depth within it.&nbsp;author: Aneta Zákoutskáphoto: Jasmína Georgievová

The 36th International Festival of Theatre Schools SETKÁNÍ/ENCOUNTER centred this year around the themes of the Soul and the Spiral. and the festival achieved something on Saturday night that few might have expected. It blurred the line between the auditorium and the stage so completely that not a single mere ‘observer’ remained in the hall.

The spiral that resonates on: SETKÁNÍ/ENCOUNTER 2026 Celebrates the Pure Soul of Art

Pondělní večer neznamenal jen příjezd do Brna, ale především první SETKÁNÍ. Setkání s&nbsp;redakčním týmem, se skupinou lidí, která byla sestavena s&nbsp;jasným záměrem: propojitrůznorodé osobnosti, z&nbsp;různých studijních oborů, s různými zkušenostmi a pohledy na svět. Nezbývalo než doufat, že vír této různorodosti, který se v&nbsp;tu chvíli začal roztáčet, bude fungovat. Že bude tvůrčí, nápomocný, bezpečný a inspirativní.Pod dřevěnými trámy redakce na Divadelní fakultě Janáčkovy akademie múzických umění nakonec nápady přímo bujely. Blog se nadechl, obohatil se o různorodé textové i audiovizuální formáty a tato mozaikovitá skupinka lidí k&nbsp;sobě začala nacházet cestu.Tvůrčí proces vyžaduje – stejně jako spirála – čas, pohyb a hloubku. To poslední, co tak křehký mechanismus potřebuje, je šéfredaktorčina zaťatá pěst a pohled s&nbsp;prohlubující se rýhou mezi obočím. Naopak si žádá svobodný prostor, inovativní umělecké podněty a inspirativní osobnosti kolem.Za výsledek můžeme považovat řadu originálních textů přenášejících atmosféru unikátního divadelního a festivalového dění, skutečný výsledek však spatřuji v jiné řadě. Jedna konkrétní řada v&nbsp;hledišti, plná oné různorodosti, která na otázku „Kdo z&nbsp;vás tady během festivalu poznal nové přátele?“ v&nbsp;plynulém závitu společného gesta zvedla ruku.Naše redakční spirála se ve středu Brna roztočila pozvolna a nenápadně, pak dynamicky nabírala na obrátkách až se nakonec rozevřela a vyslala nás zpět do našich domovů. Nikdo neodchází stejný, jako přišel.Nechme v&nbsp;sobě festival doznít, dejme si čas, nechme ten rej spirály zpomalit a rozevřít v&nbsp;našich srdcích, abychom se tu společně třeba zase za rok mohli potkat. Uzavřít kruh? Ne, jen prožít další zákrut našeho nového přátelství. Chci tímto poděkovat všem, kteří se na festivalu podíleli a kteří nám umožnili se tvůrčím způsobem projevit.A především chci jmenovitě poděkovat svému týmu: Anetě ZákoutskéEvě NývltovéKamile JášovéVeronice VaňkovéAnně SeifertovéJustýně JirsovéAleně RůžičkovéLukáši HladíkoviJakubu Tesárkovia Tomáši Chudobovi.autorka: Barbora Lahučká&nbsp;
