Expanding what we do

Belgrade Information
The community and education role of the Theatre widened with the creation, in 1965, of the first Theatre in Education (TIE) company in the world, which was the impetus for the founding of the TIE movement.

Members of the Belgrade company went on to other theatres and spread the word about this new theatrical form, of which the Belgrade TIE company remained a key exponent.

In the late 60s the Belgrade studio opened across the road in Bond Street with a capacity of 70 - 100, creating a intimate performance space, ideally suited to stimulating the creativity of writers, director and actors.

In 1967, the Belgrade Youth Theatre was founded and performed their first production, Mad Mike. Many past members have gone on to professional careers in the theatre.

The Community Department was founded in the 1980s to reach beyond the theatre building and bring the excitement of theatre to people who have never experienced it before.

One of their achievements was the Arts Alive festival that enlivens the city centre in the summer, and featuring the work of local small-scale theatre companies with whom the theatre has close links and international work from theatre companies from Denmark, Israel, Japan, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden.
