PAF University Day

This year as well, the festival is inviting students from all the institutions of higher education to immerse themselves in the cosmos of the independent performing arts to jointly ask the question: Why is the independent performing arts community “independent”? What conditions do the artists work under and what are the current topics? What drives the community and what does this have to do with the motto of this year’s edition of the festival, Bodies Under Tension?

This opportunity is provided not only for students of artistic courses of studies and institutions of higher education but for interested parties from other disciplines as well. Everyone is warmly invited to become acquainted with the Berlin Performing Arts Festival as a platform for the independent performing arts community in Berlin.

At DOCK ART on Kastanienallee, the day will begin with a get-together that will provide space for information and discussion regarding the independent performing arts and dance community. Following this, the participants can choose between a practical theater workshop or a Q&A (questions and answers) session about working in the independent performing arts community. After a shared meal and attending the performance between by Jules P. Fricker, the day will end with a post-performance discussion, where the production team will be available for questions.
