About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

In the practical part, participants will learn the basics of theater and performance under the guidance of professional theater educators. You will examine artistic works on the topics of gender/queerness and forced labor and work together to find your own artistic and performative expressions. This will allow you to reflect on and process the topic on an artistic level. You will use the site and the historical sources you have studied for this purpose. Your performative ideas will be developed into a short film.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Simple accommodation in apartments in Berlin. Possibly also in a hostel. The group will at least partially cater for itself. There is also a nice kitchen in the premises of the Documentation Centre and the possibility to eat as a group.
