Author Video Description
Lutkarstvo je više od umjetnosti, to je prostor u kojem dijete kroz igru oblikuje vlastite emocije, razvija empatiju i komunikacijske vještine. Osim toga ima i terapijski potencijal u ublažavanju strahova i teškoća odrastanja. Lovorka Trdin hrvatska je glumica i lutkarica s bogatim iskustvom u kazališnoj i pedagoškoj praksi. Magistrirala je glumu i lutkarstvo na Akademiji za umjetnost i kulturu u Osijeku, a od 2018. godine članica je profesionalnog ansambla Gradskog kazališta Zorin dom u Karlovcu.
Do danas je ostvarila više od 25 premijera u različitim kazalištima i nezavisnim umjetničkim kolektivima, ponajviše u Gradskom kazalištu Zorin dom.
Osim glume i animacije lutaka, Lovorka se aktivno bavi i izradom lutaka, scenografije i rekvizita za predstave, čime zaokružuje kazališni proces od ideje do izvedbe. Vodi brojne radionice i edukativne programe za djecu i odrasle, u kojima istražuje kreativni, pedagoški i terapijski potencijal lutke. Posebno je posvećena proučavanju utjecaja lutkarstva na psihološki razvoj djeteta, s naglaskom na važnost igre, simbolike i mašte u razvoju empatije, samopouzdanja, komunikacijskih vještina i kreativnosti.
