KThe book has emerged from more than a decade of experiences of creating theatre in the streets, squares, parks, villages, buses, hospitals, churches and even mountains. Since 2006 we – Vida and the Ljuds – have been exploring the possibilities of artistic expression in public spaces through interactive performances and site-specific projects. This road took us to more than 30 counties around the world where we crossed paths with many like-minded artists as well as theatre critics, festival directors and academics. Their ideas and advice have enriched our views on making and understanding theatre and some of them can be found in this book.

The book enables the reader to step into an interactive process of exploration and tries to encourage independent thinking. It includes an abundance of illustrations and graphic presentations that make it accessible also to a general public. The book has been produced as part of RIOTE2 project and is meant as a free learning tool for adult education across Europe.
