Association of Theatre Critics and Theatrologists of Slovenia was established in 1976. After quite a long period, the organisation was reorganized and revitalized in September 2008. Shortly afterwards its role as a national section of the International Association of Theatre Critics (IATC/AICT) was restored. As a guild association it keeps an eye on professional status of theatre criticism and scrutinizes theatrological reflection in Slovenia. On the other hand the association with its members regularily participates in current international debates and projects.


Membership and programme

Apart from critics and theatrologists, members of the association are mostly individuals with professional background of a dramaturg. At regular meetings the members deal with topics related to current issues such as badly evaluated work of critics, editors and practical dramaturgs in theatre houses. A preferential tariff of fees for certain work was composed which can serve as an orientation for the employees as well as employers.

The DGKTS tries to actively respond to situation and changes in the field of Slovene culture in general and cultural policy, either via open letters or direct proposals on the recurrent deficiencies. One of initiatives is the re-qualification of the National Theatre Museum of Slovenia into the national Theatre Institute. The association also bestows an award for the best performance of the theatre season.

Public events

Association of Theatre Critics and Theatrologists of Slovenia have organised some round tables and symposia to catalize reflection in the fields which have not been dealt with in Slovenia before and to contribute to the recognition of theoretical and critical theatre discourse. The international symposium Art, Culture, City (2009) as well as international conference Intercriticism (2010) presented accompanying programme of the Maribor Theatre Festival (contributions were published in Dialogi Journal).

Since 2011 the association prepares regular open forums; the first one dealt with the issue of small stages, the next one raised the theme of artistic leadership in Slovene theatres.
