TheatreQuest
An EcoTheatre Journey of Self Discovery
A TheatreQuest is not a quest through the wilderness of a forest, but a quest through the wilderness of creativity.
TheatreQuest is a unique blend of EcoTheatre and facilitated workshops developed by our founder Laura Pasetti through years of experimentation.
Our TheatreQuest programmes all include the same broad elements that have proven again and again to elicit magical transformations within the participants.

Mission Statement
Passing a threshold to a new vision of the self, we re-shape our sense of belonging and strengthen our community consciousness, where community is made up of humans and other-than-humans.
What is a TheatreQuest?
Our TheatreQuests come in varying forms for different target audiences and contexts, but there are some things they all have in common.
They are all immersive journeys that several participants take together. They often start as strangers, and end the experience as friends and artistic collaborators.
Some participants join with extensive theatre experience, others with none at all – but they all leave our TheatreQuests inspired to use their creativity more.
Taking place over a significant span of time, this can be as a 10-day intensive summer camp, or a 6-month course with weekly or bi-weekly sessions. Both types of TheatreQuest end with final performances that are performed to the local community. Additionally, they are usually streamed online for the friends and family of the performers. Participants travel from far and wide for this special experience. It is important that their loved ones have the opportunity to witness the final performance.
The daily or weekly sessions that make up TheatreQuests are composed of:

Children’s Courses
These are aimed at those aged 10-13, a pivotal age for children to ground and develop both their creativity and connection to nature.
Our kids’ TheatreQuests offer these young people a way out of their shell beyond the walls and habits of school.
The friends made along the way and the chance to perform provide kids and their families with invaluable memories to last a lifetime.
Summer Camps
Summer Camp is a ten-day intensive programme of theatre, nature exploration, and art & well-being workshops.
It climaxes in a final performance for the public. Over these ten days, you will forge potentially lifelong connections with new friends and artistic collaborators from around the world.
One format is for ages 15-19, and another for ages 19+.
