One of them, equally important, as it corresponds to the entire society in which the individual, or the workshop participant, lives, is the development and nurturing of an educated theater audience. And not only the theater audience, but also consumers of other cultural and artistic content. In addition to groundwork and participation in workshops, participants engage in discussions and activities related to literature, performances, music, films, exchange experiences and use them to create their own responses to acting and non-acting tasks. In other words, they implement all the knowledge gained into their creations by dedicating themselves to art, thus creating unique worlds. As a result, children and young people who attend the workshops of the Misholovka Youth Theater become creators and recipients of artistic and cultural content.
