Laboratories & Workshops
We offer you various labs and workshops in which you can playfully try yourself out on and behind the stage. While the workshops offer you the opportunity to get a taste of different areas of theater work, in the labs we work together to create a play that will be performed in front of an audience. The rehearsals of the labs take place at least once a week and include intensive rehearsal blocks. Participation is free of charge.
Labor I
Laboratory I has started a new production!
The group is working together to develop their own play – from the initial ideas to the finished scene. The focus is on topics that are currently important to the actors themselves, who are aged between 13 and 17: friendship, pressure, the future, identity, anger, hope. Everything that matters will be brought to the stage. We try things out, discuss, write, discard and start again.
More information will follow here.
