The most important projects:

Most important projects:

Theatre Research Centre - created in 2006, arose from the need for a systematic analysis of the Slovak theatre (history and theory, methodology and terminology, tendencies and actual conditions, support for young scientists). In 2010, The Theatre Institute received an important accreditation – the Certificate of Qualification for Research and Development as proof of their long-lasting high-quality research activity in the field of theatre and the preservation of cultural heritage. The Theatre Research Centre is a part of the FIRT / IFTR international organization - the International Federation of Theatre Research. One of the most important roles of the Theatre Research Centre is the focus on scientific activity of the particular departments of the Theatre Institute (mostly the Theatre Documentation, Information and Digitalization Department, Publishing Department and Project Department). It monitors historical research and creates modern methods of its analytical processing. The aim of the project is to perform research and the preservation of cultural heritage, as well as raising awareness among the professional and broader public.
The Monthly KØD – konkrétne o divadle (concretely about theatre) is the only monthly in Slovakia about Slovak and foreign theatre. It was launched in march 2007 by the Theatre Institute along with the information network IS theatre.sk - which monitors theatres in Slovakia and their productions. The monthly filled the empty space for theatre critics and the need for a platform for reflection and opinions of theatre artists. In its columns it presents the newest performances through reviews, critics, essays or interviews with artists. The authors of the articles are renowned Slovak theatre theoreticians and practitioners as well as contributors from the Czech Republic and other European countries. In kød the readers can find profiles of artists, local and international festivals' reviews, information about international theatre scene, comments and remarks on cultural policy, studies from history and theory of theatre and drama, and fragments or whole theatre texts and dramatizations. It is also a place for the promotion of activities and projects of the Theatre Institute and all professional theatres in Slovakia. kød is interesting not only because of its content, but also because of its trendy graphics and various and rich photographic material. There are 10 issues published annually in a monthly circulation of 400 pieces. kød is available in theatres, bookshops and literary cafés throughout Slovakia.
Slovak Drama in Translation - a special website belonging to the Theatre Institute that collects all translations of contemporary Slovak authors in one place. It introduces several generations of Slovak playwrights. The choice of plays is great and yet not complete. You can find all plays on the website www.theatre.sk/slovakdrama, constantly updated with new information.
