HOW TO... Art & Trouble

Wherever people come together, there is something immediate in the air and power structures dress themselves in many guises. What one may call group dynamics and someone else may plainly refer to as a potential for conflict has always had a significant influence on the artistic process - not only in theater, but especially there. The nature of how we speak with each other, remain silent, work as well as argue determines our art and subjects political discourses together with social psychological ideals to urgently needed testing. This is reason enough for the psychologist Hannah Lesser and the theater maker Anna-Kirstine Linke to delve deeper into the frequently unmentioned phenomenon of group communication and share their previous insights with interested parties or to invent brand new practices.
