ESC: Volunteer at a youth theatre

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

BiondekBühne is the place where young people can develop through performing arts. Here you are taken seriously. You can be the way you are. Act out! We aim to holistically promote the individual development of all people through the performing arts sothey can act reflectively, empathetically and responsibly. As a focal point of an international network, we regularly offer all members possibilities for international exchange. Since its founding in 2003, BiondekBühne developed to what it is today: a stage for the curious. From just 60 members, the organisation has grown to several hundreds of kids and young people in more than twenty acting, dance and film groups who develop all sorts of pieces of arts. Each year BiondekBühne continues to grow, and during this period of rapid growth we began to leave the Austrian borders behind. Our network includes more than 70 youth theatre organisations in over 30 countries. The creative group processes are guided by professional art pedagogues. At BiondekBühne small groups develop performances throughout the year, which are then presented on stage. All children and young people are encouraged to choose their own topics or combine their own ideas with suggested topics. This way children and young people get to know their creative, communicative and performative potential. This does not only improve their self confidence but also strengthens their personality in everyday life.

💼 What the programme involves

BeyondBühne is a place where all young people can develop artistically. You are taken seriously here. You can come as you are. Run free! Since our founding in 2003, we’ve been a stage for the curious. We developed rapidly: The starting 60 members soon turned to several hundred children and youths that create their own personal art through means of theatre, dance and film. Soon we left the Austrian borders behind us: Our network covers over 70 youth theatres in more than 30 countries. Our members regularly travel afar, to work on art projects with others, and we invite youth groups to stay with us. The creative work in our groups is led by academically trained art pedagoges. Many volunteers lend their hand in different fields behind the stage: make-up, costumes, marketing, catering and many more. In addition, we work together with a professional light and sound team. All of them are in it with their whole hearts: Passionately curious! When you join you can try out all these fields.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
