📣 A New Collaboration for a Safer Childhood: Just Art and Theater Aurora Present an Educational Play on Traffic Safety!

In the world of children's art, every play is more than just entertainment – it's an opportunity to convey important messages and values through fun. Guided by this idea, we are proud to announce a new collaboration: Just Art agency and Theater Aurora are joining forces to bring children a high-quality, educational, and interactive play – “Traffic Rules Are Not Easy”.

This cheerful and humorous performance is aimed at children aged 3 to 7, and is designed to teach them the basic rules of safe behavior in traffic – in a fun and understandable way.

🎭 About the Creators

Theater Aurora is a contemporary performing arts collective with a special focus on theater for children and youth. Their approach blends artistic quality with clear educational goals, creating performances that are both engaging and meaningful.

Just Art, on the other hand, has spent years building a network of quality artistic content for children – from puppet and drama plays to festivals and cabarets – always with one mission: to make art accessible, purposeful, and child-friendly.

Together, this collaboration brings a performance that educates, entertains, and inspires.

🚦 About the Play: “Traffic Rules Are Not Easy”

The play is written and directed to resonate with children – through story, characters, and relatable situations. With music, humor, and dynamic scenes, children learn how to behave safely in traffic – whether walking, riding a bike, or traveling in a car.

One of the key elements of the play is live singing by the actresses, accompanied by a guitar, which adds warmth, spontaneity, and energy to the performance. Characters include a friendly traffic police officer, a clumsy cyclist, and others children can easily connect with.

Key topics covered:

• How to cross the street safely

• Where and how to ride a bicycle

• The importance of wearing a seatbelt

• Recognizing traffic signs and responsible behavior

The play lasts about 30 to 35 minutes, making it ideal for children’s attention span, and it requires no additional technical equipment – it can be performed in any indoor space!

🎶 Music, Interaction, and Engagement

One of the greatest strengths of this play is its direct interaction with the audience. Children are invited to participate – to sing, answer questions, react, and even perform small parts alongside the actresses.

The original music is performed live, which creates an immersive and intimate atmosphere. The guitar adds a soft, almost campfire-like feel, making children feel safe and engaged.

👧👦 Who Is It For?

The play is carefully tailored for preschool and early elementary children (ages 3 to 7). The language is simple, situations are familiar, and messages are clear and easy to apply.

Perfect for:

• Kindergartens, as part of traffic safety education

• Preschool preparatory groups, for independence awareness

• Early grades of elementary school, during safety-themed days or weeks

📍 Where Can the Play Be Performed?

Thanks to its minimal technical needs, the play can be performed almost anywhere:
✅ Gymnasiums
✅ Classrooms
✅ Multipurpose rooms
✅ School and kindergarten halls

No special lighting, sound, or stage is required – just a small space and eager young audience!

Due to high demand and limited dates, we recommend schools and kindergartens contact us early to secure a date.

🤝 Why We Support This Kind of Theater

At Just Art, we believe that children’s theater should not just be entertaining – it should be a tool for development, learning, and emotional growth. Through art, children better understand the world around them, recognize dangers, learn the difference between right and wrong, and gain confidence.

Our partnership with Theater Aurora was born out of a shared need to create performances that are responsible, creative, and deeply respectful toward their audience – children.

📷 Coming Soon: Photos and Videos

After the premiere performances, we will publish photo galleries and video clips on our website and social media, so you can catch a glimpse of the atmosphere this play brings.

🎬 Final Thoughts

“Traffic Rules Are Not Easy” is more than just a play about safety – it’s a musical, cheerful adventure where children learn how to be safe while having fun.

We invite all preschools, schools, cultural centers, and child-focused organizations to contact us and reserve a performance for their children.

Let’s build a safer future together – step by step, song by song, through art.

🎭 Together for more smiles!

Many artists struggle to determine the right price for their work. Here are a few tips:

1. Analyze the market – Check how much similar performers charge.
2. Calculate your costs – Venue, equipment, travel expenses – all should be included in your price.
3. Value your experience – The more experienced and well-known you are, the higher your worth.
4. Be clear in negotiations – Don’t let yourself be undervalued or exploited.

If you're unsure how to set the right price for your performances, we can help!

Why Is a Good Art Manager Essential for Your Career?

Many artists believe they don’t need a manager, but the right professional can make a huge difference. Here’s how:

• Finds opportunities – A manager tracks the market and connects you with the right people.
• Negotiates better terms – Helps you get fair compensation for your work.
• Organizes your time – Handles logistics, contracts, and promotions while you focus on performing.
• Builds your brand – Assists in shaping a professional image and performance strategy.

How to Find the Perfect Venue for Your Performance?

The right location can greatly impact how the audience experiences your performance. Here’s what you should consider:

• Capacity and acoustics – Does the venue suit the size of your audience and the type of performance?
• Technical equipment – How are the lighting, sound, and technical support?
• Price and terms – Contracts should be clear and fair for all parties.
• Ambience and atmosphere – The venue should align with your artistic expression.

If you're unsure where to perform, we can help you find the perfect venue!

Many talented performers never reach their full potential because they make these mistakes:

1. Lack of consistency – If you're not active in promoting yourself, organizers won't notice you.

2. Poor preparation for performances – Unplanned performances can leave a bad impression.

3. Improper communication with organizers – A professional tone and clear agreements are essential.

4. Neglecting audience engagement and marketing – A performer is not just an artist but also a brand.

5. Rejecting managerial support – Many think they can do everything alone, but working with a manager is often a turning point in a career.

Do you recognize any of these mistakes in yourself? It's time for a change!

Being a performer is not just about talent – a successful career requires strategy, planning, and the right connections. If you want to secure more gigs and build a stable artistic path, here are the key steps:

1. Set clear goals – Do you want more solo performances, festival engagements, or long-term contracts? Define your priorities.

2. Work on your visibility – High-quality promo materials (photos, videos, website, social media) can open doors to new opportunities.

3. Build connections – The artistic world thrives on networking. Get to know organizers, managers, and fellow artists.

4. Hire a professional – An art manager can help you find gigs, negotiate terms, and let you focus on the artistic side of your work.

When I think of Nisville, the first thing that comes to mind is its vibrant diversity. It's inevitable – a blend of different musical genres, colors, and emotions. At first glance, it might seem like too much all at once, but that’s exactly what makes this festival unique.

My first encounter with the Nisville Jazz Festival was in 2010. As a volunteer, I was part of the team working behind the scenes, and I had no idea back then how important this festival would become in my life. Every year, Nisville has been more than just a festival for me – it was a place where I discovered music, people, and an energy that is hard to put into words.

This vibrant diversity is the essence of the festival. Nisville brings together different styles and people, creating a space where everyone can find something for themselves. That’s why this festival has become one of the most attended events in Southern Serbia, and every year, Niš transforms into the center of musical energy and culture.

In 2014, the festival was special because I shared it with my sister Maja. Together, we enjoyed the atmosphere and the music, and those memories have been preserved in photographs. It’s funny how much has changed since then, but Nisville has remained the same – vibrant, energetic, and inspiring.

One of the most memorable moments in my Nisville experience happened in 2016. At a press conference where Al Di Meola was introduced as a guest, I brought my father to play one of his songs. The surprise and delight of the journalists and guests, including Al Di Meola himself, were priceless. That moment was proof to me of how universal music is and how it can connect people in unexpected ways.

And here I am now, in 2024, as an art manager, bringing my daughter Anika to experience the magic of Nisville. Time passes, but the spirit of the festival remains the same. Watching Anika discover music at this place that has meant so much to me over the years, I feel proud to be able to pass on this love to her.

Nisville is not just a festival; it’s the pulse of the cultural identity of the entire region and Serbia. I look forward to every new edition and hope this phenomenon will continue to inspire and connect us for many years to come.

As for the performances I would highlight, Brooklyn Funk Essential impressed me with their energetic performance, and I would especially mention the local band from Kikinda, Les Filles. These talented girls play blues, rock 'n' roll, and soul with such passion that it's impossible not to be impressed. Their energy on stage is contagious, and I’m sure they have a bright future ahead.

Nisville is not just a festival; it’s a part of my life, a place where memories are made and music lives on. I look forward to every new edition and all the new memories I will create.

When it comes to organizing an artistic event such as a theatre play, music concert, or film production, engaging talented actors is crucial for success. This blog explores strategies for effectively engaging actors that enhance the quality of your production, with a particular focus on collaborating with casting agencies and the importance of fair compensation.

Collaborating with Casting Agencies

Engaging a casting agency can significantly streamline the process of finding and hiring talented actors. Agencies often have extensive networks and access to talents that may not be publicly available. Their expertise in talent evaluation can help identify actors who best fit the roles in your production. Moreover, agencies can assist in organizing auditions, negotiating terms and contracts, thereby simplifying administrative processes and ensuring a professional approach at every step.

Defining Roles and Characteristics

Before starting the actor engagement process, it is important to clearly define the roles and characters needed for your production. Consider the traits, skills, and emotional depths that are crucial for your characters. This will help you focus auditions on actors who best match your vision.

Auditions: Transparency and Professionalism

The audition process should be transparent and professional. Clearly communicate expectations and requirements for auditions, including date, time, location, and preparation materials. Provide all candidates with equal opportunities to ensure fair and unbiased assessment of their performances.

Fair Compensation for Motivation and Quality

One of the key elements of successful actor engagement is providing fair compensation. Quality actors often require appropriate compensation for their work, which is not only a matter of fairness but also crucial for their motivation and engagement in the production. Investing in compensation should not be seen as a cost, but as an investment in performance quality and professionalism that contributes to the success of your project.

Support Throughout the Production Process

After selecting actors for your production, it is important to establish open and productive communication. Workshops, rehearsals, and constructive feedback can help build team spirit and improve performances. Provide support to actors throughout the production, respecting their professionalism and contribution to your project.

Effectively engaging talented actors for your production requires planning, organization, and adherence to professional standards. Collaborating with casting agencies can enhance your ability to find the best talents, while fair compensation plays a crucial role in motivation and performance quality. Invest in the actor engagement process to ensure that your production is not only successful but also memorable for your audience.

Organizing a successful artistic event requires meticulous planning and attention to detail. Whether it's a theatrical production, music concert, or dance performance, here’s a beginner's guide to help you navigate through the process:

1. Firstly, define your event’s purpose and audience. Understanding the goals and who you're targeting will shape every decision that follows.
2. Next, establish a budget that covers all aspects, from venue rental to artist fees and promotional costs. Stick to this budget to avoid financial surprises.
3. Choose the right venue that complements your event’s theme and accommodates your audience size comfortably. Ensure technical requirements like sound, lighting, and stage setup align with your production needs.
4. When selecting artists or performers, consider their reputation, experience, and relevance to your event’s theme. Negotiate contracts clearly outlining expectations, schedules, and compensation.
5. Promote your event effectively using a mix of online platforms, social media, and traditional advertising. Create compelling content that highlights the uniqueness of your event and engages potential attendees.
6. Coordinate logistics meticulously, including ticketing, seating arrangements, and backstage operations. Have contingency plans for unforeseen circumstances like technical glitches or weather changes.
7. Lastly, ensure a smooth event day by having a dedicated team to manage different aspects—from ushering guests to handling emergencies.

By following these steps, you can lay a solid foundation for organizing a successful artistic event that leaves a lasting impression on your audience.
