Maisternia Pisni

Art, research and educational centre Maisternia Pisni works since 1996 as art laboratory, which is based on traditional laws and technologies and implements itself in various culturological art projects. "Maisternia pisni"  is organized like medieval guild. Its art activity lies at the intersection of theatre and traditional music.
"Maisternia pisni"  is a traditional view on the world, song and man as a studio of creation, form of self-consciousness – recognizing of his vocation. This is the method of work on the territory of objectlessness. Through the work with traditional forms of singing we find clear footworn over the ages way to our personal, unique and dear, what we can hand down to other person. The traditional song provides access to primary source, it is a bearer of knowledge, it can teach, cure and change the life. We use traditional technologies according to which a singing is a service, a singing is an instrument of connection with traditional ideology.

"Maisternia Pisni" investigates and realizes the laws of Tradition, principles of its existence, organisation, rythual in the Master - Disciple transfer, in the form of encounter, holyday as a culture accomplishment. This is a new anthropology based on ancient laws and forms of Tradition and it is being realized in  the present socio-cultural space and time.

Creative work and education appears from the quality of artistic reality – connection with Tradition, knowing of way or bridge between sacred, folk and secular culture and laws of Tradition, professional and human competence.

On the private territory of Master there is no division into cultural formats. Because of Master personality and the territory of Song as workshop, through theatre model as universal form of transformation of invisible into visible and a place of meeting of active representative of reality (performer) with contemplating witness (audience) the art appears again as personal, but not pop-one.
