Sara Csonka (Hungary)

In September 2013 Sara Csonka was announced the winner of the International Competition for Comics Artists, Cartoonists and Graphic Novelists organized by IUGTE and ArtUniverse. In November Sara joined the creative team of the four-week International Theatre Lab organized by IUGTE in collaboration with the Russian Drama Repertory Theatre of Lithuania (Vilnius, Lithuania). The project unified the Russian actors and the multidisciplinary team of actors, dancers, choreographers, circus performers, directors and filmmakers from 12 different countries - Poland, Austria, Germany, Croatia, Belgium, Mexico, Slovenia, Switzerland, Italy, Bulgaria, Denmark and Hungary. As the result of the Lab the performance was created.

Sara's presentation will introduce a different way of participating in a theatrical lab, as a visual artist. It will present the comics made during the lab and the thoughts and topics that came up. All connected with the lab, but not directly. The presentation will reflect upon the path, within the body which can give directions in 'non-body' questions. It will contain thoughts about experiencing something normal as a first experience. Returning to the beginning and being enthusiastic again. To discover fabulous things in your daily routine by re-realization of your doing. It will focus on the main topics of the comics, but there will be thoughts about approaching art and understanding it at this certain age (17).

The presentation will include photos by PowerPoint and demonstration of the printed artworks.
