I am a Bosnian-born Dutch theatre director and general manager of Rotterdam Community Theatre (Rotterdams Wijktheater) and programmer of the International Community Arts Festival (ICAF). Our mission is to produce and perform relevant and original theater plays created with, by and for people from social groups who are often excluded from the dominant culture. We do this on a participatory basis, with professional support from theatre directors. We create theater that gives unheard stories and people a stage, develops local talent, strengthens communities and with our festival (ICAF) we help to further develop the community arts both nationally and internationally.
