Un/gleich/zeitig: Next Generations – Education in the Independent Performing Arts

Many people dream of working in the performing arts, but not everyone even makes it as far as studying or training. Some fail due to numerus clausus, others due to a lack of accessible spaces, course schedules that are too full, a lack of multilingualism, insufficient caregiving options to negotiate studying while having a child or simply due to a lack of advisement opportunities. One a place to study has finally been arranged, the question remains: how well does a course of study prepare you for the realities of the (independent) professional life? How can one gain some insight into the community (or communities), find artistic accomplices as well as potential employers? 

The Junge Ensemble Netzwerk, Claudia Schmitz from the Deutsche Bühnenverein and additional guests will discuss, together with the attendees of the conference, which points of access simplify things and how educational paths can be improved.  

In German spoken language.

With Zoe Celine Krüger and Samuel Kastell (Junges Ensemble Netzwerk), Claudia Schmitz (Executive Director, Deutscher Bühnenverein, the German Stage Association), Christiane Kretschmer (Information Center of the Berlin Performing Arts Program).
