Meet the Artist
I find Romanian Theater much more exiting then British Theatre
Scott Johnston is a theatre director, workshop creator and facilitator.
We met in Romania, at the Babel International Performing Arts Festival from Târgoviște, inviting him to talk a little bit about his professional life in the front of my camera.
He has worked in Romania, Hungary, Finland, Ireland, South Africa, Lithuania, Macedonia, Wales, and the USA.
His work has won many awards and much public and critical acclaim. Over his 64 year he has directed over 150 plays and created workshops for actors and theatre acdemies.
He is a specialist in the work of Augusto Boal and the Theatre of the Oppressed and was the one the first practitioners to introduce this work in Scotland, Romania and South Africa.
