BETTER THAN A GAME [2008 – 2009]
The play “Better Than a Game” was created as a result of the collaboration between DAH Teatar and the fifth and seventh grade students of the “Kralj Petar II Karađorđević” Elementary School.
From September 2008 to March 2009, workshops were held twice a week for the school’s students, led by Jugoslav Hadžić and Ivana Milenović.
The play premiered on March 21, 2009, on the occasion of the school’s day, directed by Maja Mitić. Based on the text by Biljana Lazarevski. Video and sound by Jugoslav Hadžić.
On April 15, 2009, NU “Božidar Adžija” in cooperation with the Municipality of Vračar Assembly and the Fund for Talented Children of Vračar, at the competition of gifted children from elementary schools from Vračar, the play “Better Than a Game” received a SPECIAL AWARD for a modern

THIS IS WHO WE ARE [2004 – 2005]
The project includes the DAH Teatar Youth Drama Studio, Roma children from Vračar and those gathered around the Roma Cultural Center in Mali Mokri Lug. The project lasted eight months and represents workshop and research work within the themes
that concern young people, with a special focus on the moment of “transition” in which we find ourselves.
PHASE I: THIS IS ME – WIDE OPEN EYES (April-June 2004) Includes work with young people from the DAH Teatar Drama Group and will result in a performance of the same name.
PHASE II: THIS IS WHO WE ARE (September 2004 – January 2005). Includes work within drama workshops with children of Roma and non-Roma nationality, which also included young people from the drama group as collaborators.
The final part of the project is a performance that includes all participants.
