Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Đurđina Samardžić and I am writing this letter as a way of applying for the Showcase weekend concourse at the MLADINSKO Theatre, Ljubljana, Slovenia. I am a senior student of Scenic design, technique and architecture in Novi Sad, Vojvodina, Serbia, an area which, as a complex phenomenon, has effect in various professions, practises and art in today’s world. In my theatre experience so far, I have worked as a scene designer, costume designer and a performer, all leading to theatre being my medium in my college work as well. Mladinsko Theatre became a subject in my research, mostly under the influence of the research of professors Janežič and Frljić, but also, under the influence of attending numerous theatre festivals spread around the territory of the former Yugoslavia. I attended the performances created and carried out by Mladinsko Theatre in 2015, during the Desire festival in Subotica, Serbia, and this period lasted until last year, in which I became amazed and very interested about the Mladinsko, authentic collective and the language of a theatre, which always offered different interactivity. It was then, that I came upon a chance of realising how important this theatre was for my personal growth, both career-wise and as a human being, as well as it was a unique and inovative provocation with a very delicately treated space, very exciting scenic design and dialogue. In my opinion, I truly believe that showcase will bring a huge number of possibilities, so I can meet a new kind of sinergy, a new approach to my work, but also, expanding my professional knowledge and skills, as well as it being a unique chance for me to visit Slovenia. I thank you in advance for the consideration of my application. Sincerely, Đurđina Samardžić
