How can we create theatre for young audiences that practices solidarity on and beyond the stage? Respect the various realities we live in, discuss them without categorization? How can we acknowledge our socialisation which is based on supposed norms and counteract the discriminations it carries forward? Which images and narratives do we create to describe the world we live in without reproducing racism, sexism, classism, ableism, hostilities towards people of the trans- and queer communities and discriminating conditions? How does this affect our artistic work and also the structures of theatre?
The group of people attending this digital workspace will start off by conferring and consulting with one another. We seek to educate ourselves to challenge the structures we live and work in. We start to change our personal practice towards one of solidarity.
The workspace programme is aimed at professional artists and anyone, wanting to change things and willing to deal with their own positioning and course of action within their artistic practice.
Brighter Views was drafted and devised in collaboration with Céline Bartholomaeus, Arts Mediator at Junges Staatstheater Braunschweig and co-founder of Amo Braunschweig Postkolonial and Thilo Grawe, working in theatre in education at JES and it’s realisation would not be possible without the help of many guests and experts.
The working language of the programme is German.
Schöne Aussicht is not just a festival but also a work meeting. Since the 1980’s the people working in theatre for young audiences in the south west of Germany come together once a year to gain new impulses, discuss developments in their field and try new ways of working through workshops. Since 1998 the international performances at Schöne Aussicht provide an extra load of inspiration for the local scene.
For the 2020 edition of the work meeting, the curators Petra Fischer (freelance dramaturg and theatre educationalist) and Gerd Ritter (ensemble member of JES) chose 8 performances to be shown and discussed during the festival.
But then things changed. The last year was on one hand determined by the empty theatres and a great longing for live art. But on the other hand the theatre people set off on various attempts and experiments using the digital space to create alternative theatrical experiences for young audiences. And so we decided to discuss this new work instead: theatre films, interactive performances, digital participatory creations and workshops.
The workspace is an internal programme for the theatres of Baden-Württemberg.
