Do you know the feeling? You build your festival schedule and it quickly gets way too full? And you actually wanted not only to see guest performances, but also to find time to meet with other audience members; with children, with young people, with adults, with colleagues or just to talk to people at the festival centre? But the locations are so scattered, the time slots too short and maybe you don't know that many people after all?
Maybe we have something for you: This year, we have built a programme of talks that stays in the same place for several hours and yet includes different formats, that takes time for arriving and getting to know each other, for warm-up and cool-down. The programme was co-designed by young people and aims to bring festival visitors of all ages into conversation with each other – whether in German or English spoken language, German sign language, interactively, in frontal situations or in a small groups. Among those, inviting to conversations and workshops are the children of the BLICK'S MAL! group and students from the University of Hildesheim. The teenagers and young adults of the ‘Theatre Action Group’ (TAG) of the EU programme ‘ForesTEEN’ are here in Berlin as AUGENtagMAL! and are looking forward to encounters, new input, different perspectives and discussion+time about the performing arts for young audiences.
