The motto of this year's ProART Festival is Transform_Heal_Through_Art. The international workshop festival of dance, music, acting, photography and other performing arts for professionals and the general public combines daytime art workshops with an evening programme. The Brno leg of the festival will take place at the Villa Engelsmann.
This year's 22nd edition will welcome more than thirty art lecturers, including Klára Melíšková, Thom Artway, Pavla Fendrichová, Šimon Bilina, Jarek Cemerek, Natasha Novotná, Michal Heriban, Ivan Pinkava, Gabriela Filippi and Lenka Dusilová, to name but a few. In all the towns and cities we continue to work with our long-standing partner institutions - with the Engelsmann Villa in Brno, with the Werich Villa in Prague, with the Wallenstein Loggia in Jičín, with the Federal House in Slavonice, with the castle in Moravské Krumlov and with the Museum of National History in Olomouc. The Brno part of the festival will take place from 17 to 24 July 2025 at the Villa Engelsmann.
Each year of the ProART Festival has its own unique motto. The concept around which this year's programme is based is the idea of personal transformation/healing through art. The workshop process is an experience that often enables us to move our personality forward, banish an age-old problem, or develop a different view of ourselves. This year's workshop programme includes, for example:
The art of authenticity, the joy of existence, improvisation, acting drawing on one's own imagination, Creative music and singing workshop - Opening up the voice - opening up to life,
Relaxing creative writing workshop,
Site-specific theatre as democratic practice,
Discovering the natural side of physical and vocal expression.
The workshops are open to the general public, professional audiences and art school students. They encourage artistic creativity regardless of genre and ability level. This year's motto underlines the healing aspect in art, the path of empathy and respect for one another. The desire to stop and perceive oneself and others is the inspiration for this year's traditional workshop festival.
This year, the festival's evening programme offers nearly thirty performances, concerts, gatherings and improvisations not only by the festival's lecturers, but also by the ProART Company, which is celebrating a major anniversary. This year marks 20 years since its foundation. You can also look forward to performances by guests who fit in with this year's festival theme. A genre-spanning and artistic dimension is important to us. You can register for the festival via the single sign-on system from 22 April 2025. Advance tickets to the evening programme in Prague and Brno will be available from Goout.net.
