📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Your host is the Open-Air Theatre Heidenheim, the 2nd largest one of its kind in Southern Germany. It is situated on the “castle hill” of the town, surrounded by forests, and can accommodate 1100 spectators. The Open-Air Theatre is run by an association and they are very happy about your help!
The theatre season will last till the end of August. So during your first week there will still be performances and you will be able to get a taste of the theatre!
💼 What the programme involves
One part of the building of the Open-Air Theatre will be torn down and rebuild, so it is necessary to clean it out in advance: Right now, the costumes are stored in there. Your main job will be to bring all the costumes and furniture etc. to another temporary storage, where everything needs to be well-assorted. Additionally, there might be further tasks to prepare the part of the building for demolition.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated directly on the project side: Next to the stage, there is huge building for administration, a storage, a workshop, a café … here you will have two rooms for yourselves, showers, a kitchen and a common room. Please don’t forget to bring a sleeping bag!
📍 About the location
Heidenheim an der Brenz is a town with about 46.000 inhabitants. The area is rather rural with a beautiful countryside: since it is at the end of the Swabian Albs, there are many hills and forests. There is a castle and a wildlife park in Heidenheim, very close to your project. If you would like to visit a larger town, you may go to Ulm which is only 30km away. But also Stuttgart and Munich are just about 2 hours by train!
