With Urszula Heuwinkel (Artistic Producer MIFRUSH Production)

How do you build an artistic strategy in Berlin’s Freie Szene? How do you structure your projects, navigate funding opportunities, and communicate your artistic practice within the city’s unique cultural landscape? 

This format provides insight and practical tools to help you plan effectively, understand the funding system, and articulate your work clearly.​ We'll explore strategies for sustainable collaborations, focusing on building long-term partnerships and integrating into both local and global networks.

With Anne Hoffmann (actor, theater maker, mediator, coach)

Collective work in flat hierarchies is often marked by complex roles and multiple functions. How is good work possible in such constellations? How do you establish an honest, appreciative and constructive communication and feedback structure? How do you clearly define areas of responsibilities and which individuals needs should preferably be communicated right at the beginning? How can conflicts be avoided, deescalated and, if there is an issue, be resolved amicably? In this workshop, tools for dealing with conflicts with a solution-oriented approach will be provided and individual questions dealing with the specific challenges of your team structure will be answered.

With Martin Stiefermann (choreographer and artistic director of MS Schrittmacher)

Do we found a GbR (Gesellschaft Bürgerliche Recht, or partnership under civil law) or is it better to found a Verein (a registered association)? What legal form is most appropriate for us and how do they differ from each other? What legal steps do we have to take and what do we have to keep in mind during these steps? In this workshop, useful information and practical tips about founding a GbR and founding a Verein will be shared and individual questions will be answered.
