Váňová conducted a survey among teachers asking whether they took their pupils to the theatre and, if so, whether they carried out any performance related activities before and after the visit. Then she devised a workshop for teachers in which participants themselves could see whether and in what ways the preparation and subsequent reflection of a theatrical experience is meaningful for them.
