THEATRICAL INITIATIVES
Grodzki Theatre, although it has no stage of its own, has been inspiring and developing various forms of art since 1999 with the help of theatre enthusiasts of all ages.
A THEATRE OF UNDERAGE ADDICTS
Our cooperation with the Catholic Centre of Education and Youth Therapy in Bielsko-Biała dates back to the beginnings of the association. Theatrical activities were included into the programmes that targeted the development of interests in the charges of the centre and proved useful in the process of youth therapy and re-adaptation.
A THEATRE OF MENTALLY ILL
The programme of theatrical activities encompasses two specialist institutions in Bielsko-Biała: Subregional Centre of Psychiatric Treatment "Olszówka" (since 1999) and Community Self-Help Centre for People with Mental Disorders "Podkowa" (since 2001). People from both institutions are engaged in stage work with great passion and their own ideas. Theatre helps them in everyday battle with their illnesses.
A THEATRE IN COMMUNITY HALLS
In the years 2000-2008 we conducted cyclic theatrical classes in several institutions in Bielsko-Biała which supported children and youths in difficult situations. The result of that project is over one hundred plays in various conventions often taking on difficult social issues: domestic violence, addiction, and social inequality.
INTEGRATION THEATRE
The idea of a theatre open for everyone and connecting people from different backgrounds remains one of the most important values in our everyday work and research. Out of the integration groups that work under the auspices of the association the following are worth mentioning: "Za siódmą górą" (in the years 2001-2010), "Teatralna Grupa Dorosłych" (from 2007 to present), and "Teatr Grodzki Junior" (from 2003 to present). Their work is an example of real-life positive influence of art on the area of social integration.
THEATRE OF OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY WORKSHOP "JESTEŚ POTRZEBNY!"
The theatrical group has worked in the Workshop since the moment it was created in 2004 as one of the initiatives of Pracownia Artterapii (Arttherapy Studio). The team boasts many artistic achievements, often takes part in theatrical reviews, and wins numerous awards.
THE BESKID CELEBRATION OF THE SMALL AND BIG
This is the slogan under which overviews of art groups that work under the auspices of the association and are included in our cultural programmes have been organized since 2001.
