Un/gleich/zeitig – Take Space! Open Stage

We are opening up our stage! Building upon the conference’s topic of (non)simultaneous and the interplay of the visibility and effectiveness of the independent performing arts, we are warmly inviting everyone to share their own questions, perspectives and suggestions for solutions. Presentations, lecture performances, readings… a variety of different, uncurated voices of the independent performing arts community will be heard over the course of 5- to 10-minute contributions. Seven slots will be awarded by random drawing. These will provide space, for example, to share questions about the topics of the conference, positions on current developments, suggestions for colleagues or invitations for the next action.

We are looking for your contributions by November 6!
