Beneficiary based th audience development activities on creating and building relationships with viewers aged 10 and over, as well as with teachers andeducators. We started this trimester by organizing a discussion panel "Child - Adult - lexicon of sensitivity", which was a combination of twoseparate events: a debate and a workshop, and included elements of a conference, a workshop, a debate and a demonstration lesson addressed to teachersworking with young people and their guardians. It was an intimate event that, despite its enormous substantive value, also had a great aspectpromotional. The meeting was indeed unusual in terms of activities aimed at audience development, but definitely in the spirit of oursactivities and concepts of establishing close, individual relationships.Direct contacts with schools and teachers were also of great importance. We introduced Fosse and talked about his work,we provided information about the subject of the performance and consulted the age of the audience.All promotional activities planned for the duration of the production and operation of the show were aimed at audience development.Additional activities that appeared in this project and supported the development of the audience were: a new mobile application for children andeducational activities accompanying the performance (both workshops after the performance and a lesson plan prepared for teachers).The application is an innovative solution for the theater environment for people who spend a lot of time in a technological environment - phones andcomputers. With the support of experts, we have prepared an application in the form of a friendly game that teaches, consolidates knowledge and encourages subsequent visitstheater
Summary of bilateral results
The partner''s role in this reporting period, as well as during the implementation of the entire project, was very important. Det Norske Teatret is one of the largest (asome say the largest) theaters in Norway. The Baj Theater is an institution with great traditions and a rich history, but it is intimate. Ourcooperation during this settlement period consisted primarily of activities surrounding our participation in the Jon Fosse Festival in Oslo. It wasa very big undertaking on our part - performing 3 performances at an international festival. The adaptation of the play itself (for the first time) on anotherstage than before, it required a lot of time and work. The support and readiness of our Norwegian partner were indescribable at that time.The project partner constantly provided us with great substantive support. Nobody probably knows Jon Fosse''s work performed on stages all over the worldworld, like Det Norske Teatret. It is also a huge institution that we had the opportunity to observe and observe its operation.
