Open Call: Shared Trade Fair Stand at the 23rd KinderKulturBörse in Hanover

The KinderKulturBörse is one of the most important networking events for children’s and youth theater in the German-speaking world and takes place on an annual basis, alternating between Munich and Hanover. During this year’s event on May 16 and 17 at the Kulturzentrum Pavillon in Hanover, the Berlin Performing Arts Program will be represented for the second time with a shared trade fair stand and is offering Berlin-based artists the opportunity to present themselves and their work there.

A prerequisite for taking part is a history of professional work within the independent performing arts and a primary residence in Berlin. In addition, each participant must have at least one production that has already premiered and is capable of being toured that can be presented at the trade fair with corresponding print and possibly video trailer material (max. three minutes in length).

We would like to give as many artists as possible the opportunity to take part. We do, however, reserve the right to make a selection on the basis of the promotional material provided in the event that there are more applicants than there is space. Anyone who has already applied to be part of the trade fair and has been selected by the jury of the KinderKulturBörse will be treated preferentially when spots at our shared trade fair stand are given out.

In the event of restrictions to the number of visitors due to measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we also reserve the right to assign spots at the trade fair stand on a day-by-day basis. In any event, we ask the registered groups to please send only one representative to Hanover.

Anyone who would like to take part is asked to please send a binding application including links with informative digital promotional material (trailer, websites, flyers in PDF form, et cetera - and please send large files in the form of a link to download the files) with the subject “KinderKulturBörse 2022” by April 10, 2022 to: messe [at] pap-berlin.de.

We will then need additional print promotional material from all of the selected artists (max. 100 flyers / brochures or similar materials and possibly 3 or 4 small posters). These should be delivered to the office of the Berlin Performing Arts Program no later than two weeks before the trade fair.
