Passing on excellence.
Inspiring commitment.
For decades, the Atelier Théâtre Burkinabè has made knowledge transmission a cornerstone of its work. From artistic initiation to expertise in Theatre for Development, we train those who will shape the future of the performing arts and contribute to positive change within society.
A comprehensive artistic programme offered entirely free of charge.
Regular training built around practice, discipline and progression.
Theatre for Development as a powerful tool for social impact.
Sharing knowledge, techniques and values to prepare the generations who will shape the theatre of tomorrow.
More than learning a craft: building a sense of responsibility.
At ATB, training directly contributes to the continuity of the institution. It enables artists to refine their practice, gives younger generations an opportunity to discover the performing arts, and helps organisations harness the educational power of Theatre for Development.
Two pathways. One shared commitment to excellence.
Whether you want to develop as an artist or strengthen the capacities of an organisation, ATB adapts its expertise to different audiences, objectives and realities on the ground.
Theatre School
A rigorous two-year academic programme offered entirely free of charge, designed to train well-rounded artists who combine artistic excellence, African values and civic engagement.
Workshops & Training
Tailor-made training programmes and interventions for NGOs, public services, private organisations and other stakeholders seeking to use the arts as a tool for social transformation.
“Graines d'Artistes”: nurturing the next generation from an early age.
