The location od the individual workshops will be specified before the beginning of the festival and marked on the map.

Dear participants.
This year the boarding house operator has set the following conditions: He gave us a building in Truhlářská Street and only after it is full will he allow us to stay in Zeyerova Street. If anyone insists on accommodation directly in Zeyerova, please wait until the first accommodation is filled, we will inform you about it on the website.
Here's how it is this year with the accommodation in the gym: it has already been renovated. Except that the school principal is leaving this April and the new one will be announced after the audition, which will also take place in April. The new headmaster should start in May, then we will try to negotiate the accommodation, but so far there has been no one (the outgoing headmaster did not want to interfere with the powers of the future headmaster). If you are interested in accommodation in the gym, please wait. We will also keep you informed of the outcome on the website.
Also this year we will use the dormitory in "Jungmannova" street (Domov mládeže, Truhlářská 360/3) - 2-3-bed rooms. It is the building where we stayed last year, newly renovated, showers and toilets are in each room.
Participation fee (basic) is 100 EUR.
