Resumo: The hosting organization is an international independent theatre company. The artistic research of the organization is at the crossroad between physical theatre, objects and puppet theatre, music, voice and rhythm, aiming to reach an authentic, personal connection between the varied languages that coexist on the stage. Members of the organization focus their research on analysing themes, experimenting, learning together and sharing the result of their work within the company and with the audience and locals.

Performances created by the organization are quite diverse, from physical theatre with or without text, to fairy tales, to puppet theatre to mask theatre; therefore they are able to reach a wide range of audience. Continuo offers its performances both to regular theatre audience and to students of different ages. Alongside the evening performances, performances for secondary schools and university are organized, and followed by open discussions, where students can meet the members and other collaborators, in this combining artistic and educational experience. Also fairy tales performances are brought in maternal and elementary schools, followed by workshops with children.

Alongside artistic and performing activity, the organization undertakes pedagogical activity, both through the training praxis and through different pedagogical projects. In more than twenty years of activity, the organization has developed a non-conventional, non-formal approach to pedagogy, which has at its core the performer's body and all its possibilities of expression. The learning process is strongly rooted in praxis, valorising the specificities brought by each participant.

The members cooperate on regular base with theatre academies such as Accademia Teatro (CH) and Accademia (IT), leading workshops in these institutions and inviting students to residencies. Workshops are attended by Master students in physical theatre studies; the duration can vary from 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the project.

Since 1997 the organization organizes and leads every year a summer site-specific project. Summer projects are attended by participants from all over the world, with different backgrounds and levels of experience. A heterogeneous group of theatre, dance, visual arts and music practitioners, students or professionals is selected on the base of an open call to share one month of training and creative work with the company. The result is a site-specific performance, each year created in a different space, inspired by the space itself. Summer project performances are attended by a large group of audience, both from the region and the country.

The organization members are also involved in activities of the cultural centre.
The cultural centre has been completely renovated in 2015, becoming a multifunctional cultural centre with a theatre hall, a café, a rehearsal room, different ateliers, a workshop and spaces to host artists in residency.
The cultural centre is located in a small rural village surrounded by nature. While being an organization on its own, The cultural is at the same time the house of organization. The cultural centre and the organization cooperate closely together in the organization of several events.

The cultural centre organizes its own theatre program, hosting national and international theatre and dance performances, performances for children and families, concerts, workshops for children. Cultural events at the cultural centre are visited by locals and people from surroundings villages and towns. Main season's events are visited by people coming from a bigger distance, including people from the capital city Prague.

The cultural centre works also as a residency centre for artists coming from Czech Republic and abroad. Residencies' results are often presented to the local community in informal work-in-progress showings, followed by feedbacks exchanges.
As a distinct organization from the hosting organization, the curltural centre has its accreditation to host volunteers, who support the over mentioned activities of the cultural centre.

Given the variety of the organization's activities, volunteers will have the chance to interact with different target groups (performers, students, local people, artists, children, producers) according to the activities they will be involved in.
