Tiyatro Emekçileri Dayanışma ve Yardımlaşma Derneği (TED-YAR DER)

Our NGO (Theatre Lover and Solidarity Association) was established in Antalya in 2011 by a playwright, director, actor, lighting actor and so on. In the first 6-7 years of its establishment, we prepared theater plays for children and adults, staged and toured in the school and municipal theater halls in the center of Antalya. In this diversity, our group has not neglected to be open and respectful to each other's ideas. Each of our group members is as different from each other as the parts that make up an engine, but together form a whole in harmony and harmony. Our group basically consists of individuals who like to work, who understand the importance of group work, who are conscious of being active citizens, who have taken part in social responsibility projects, and use theater and art as a tool to solve both the individuals they work with and their own problems. Our NGO changed its address and decorated an old Antalya house with garden as a culture house. After opening our culture house, in the last three years, we have worked with children and adults in applied theater, painting, music, etc. We opened artistic courses, held theater plays, held open sessions, seminars, hosted many cultural and artistic events such as film shows, commemorations, celebrations, music and poetry recitals, literary talks at the Workers' Film Festival and independently. We organized meetings, solidarity breakfasts and dinners with 40 association members and hundreds of Ted-Yar Der friends. We filmed our theater plays and broadcast them on our Youtube channel. You can see the details of what our association has done on our facebook group named TİYATRO EMEKÇİLERİ DAYANIŞMA VE YARDIMLAŞMA DERNEĞİ-ANTALYA which has 2600 followers.
