Titans of Freedom
Theatre Training Programme for Young People
From December 2026, Independent Theatre Hungary is launching a new free theatre group for young people. During this tuition-free programme, participants will have the opportunity to explore acting, writing, costume design and choreography, while also working together to create a new performance about freedom.
We welcome young people aged 13–19 who are open-minded, curious and eager to share their thoughts and ideas with others through a theatre performance.
The sessions will run from 5 December 2026 until the end of summer 2027, mostly on Saturdays between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm (with sessions lasting approximately 4–6 hours), and participants are expected to attend regularly, with minimal absences. Session dates will be agreed upon two weeks in advance.
Under the guidance of professional theatre artists and experienced trainers, participants will be able to develop their skills, take part in community activities and get involved in other creative projects and workshops organised by the theatre.

- can commit to attending the sessions from 5 December 2026 until the end of summer 2027 (on Saturdays, between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm).
