CHILDREN'S JURY
Since its inception, Zvezdarište has had a Children's Jury that watches all performances and makes its decisions completely independently of the festival's Expert Jury.
Zvezdarište takes seriously the fact that children have unique perspectives and experiences that they can and should express. It is important for children and young people to form and voice their opinions on matters that concern them and Zvezdarište is certainly one of those matters! Additionally, it is crucial for artists and creators to hear the voices and opinions of their young audience for whom they create.
This year, the Children's Jury consists of 7 members: 4 girls and 3 boys, aged between 9 and 13. They attend various schools in Belgrade and all are members of the Children's and Youth Drama Studio of the "Pan Theater". In their acting classes, they discuss theatrical art, practice articulation and public speaking, watch and analyze performances together, prepare their own shows, play, build self-confidence and unleash their imaginations.
Jury: Danilo, Đorđe, Kalina, Lana, Luna, Magdalena and Mihajlo
