The summer school is organized as a cooperation between the RISEBA Faculty of Architecture and Design and Valmiera Summer Theatre festival (VVTF). VVTF has so far four years of experience in discovering new city spaces for theatre performance. By joining the forces with RISEBA University of Applied Sciences the plans to generate and realize ambitious ideas in Valmiera have resulted in the cooperation to organize the summer school already for the third year.
This year due to the global pandemic and measures to limit the spread of COVID-19, both VVTF and the summer school are in a different situation, challenged to think about how to respond to the constraints imposed, while seeing those as an opportunity for the new form, unprecedented tasks, and intellectual provocations. The application is extended until July 20 – just a few places left.
