Jedefrau.org

Jedefrau.org realises ideas, intentions, and visions of artists. It creates professional conditions for the work of theatre artists, dancers, performers, and visual artists in the Czech Republic working across a variety of artforms. It finds totally new sources and support for artists` innovative, courageous and inspiring projects.

It provides them with a complex administrative framework during the creation process. It produces the ongoing activities of theatre groups Boca Loca LAB and Handa Gote, and also organizes projects of other independent artists. 

The key aim of our work is to co-operate closely with artists in order to ensure the provision of adequate time, space and resources. Our long-term objective is to stabilize conditions for the creative work of independent artistic groups in the Czech Republic.

The production unit jedefrau.org was established in 2007 on the basis of a long-term production co-operation between Cavina and Kalivodová.

Jedefrau.org is supported by the City of Prague and the Ministry of Culture in the Czech Republic.

Jedefrau.org took over the administration of the existing association Jeden hrnec o.s, under which name it previously produced for example the theatre company Krepsko, gradually changing its name to Jedefrau.org. To 2008 it also undertook administration of the association B4 o.s, which covered the activities of the companies Handa Gote and B4. In the future, it wants to change its status of association to o.p.s. For many practical and economic reasons, this dynamic and efficient association administers the activity and realises projects of several theatre and artistic groups under one name. Furthermore, it considers the artificial maintenance of many associations for individual projects, often created primarily to meet the requirements of the grant application procedure, to be „unecological."

The activity of jedefrau.org is supported by grants from the City of Prague and the Czech Ministery of Culture.
