“Freeze! Diagonal! Playing air guitar in slow motion!” The theater DJ can give free rein to his creativity at the theatrical mixing desk.
The group responds to the calls of the classmate who has stepped behind the table on which a whole buffet of theatrical resources, visualized on different coloured cards, is spread out.
Effective images are created through the combination of activities and various aesthetic means. We have already gotten to know and experimented with many of the means, such as freeze, mirroring, synchronicity and tempo changes, in the previous weeks.
The more familiar the various design options become, the greater the courage to use them in the scenes that small groups have developed on various topics.
Wouldn’t it be interesting if the two best friends mirrored their movements? This is tried out immediately and the scene is refined further and further with surprising results.
A workshop weekend like this is intense and you need energy to play theater.
The curtains are more than just a stage decoration. They also offer the actresses a cozy place to take a nap in between.
Or has someone here pupated to become a butterfly?
The second weekend with workshop and theater visit was also a complete success! Saturday was all about Shakespeare and the expressive form of movement and dance theater. Playing with speeds, levels, gestures, poses – these are important means of expressing a story without words but with the means of the body.
The stories that were the subject of this day were put down on paper by the English poet William Shakespeare almost 500 years ago. Romeo loves Juliet, Hamlet loves Ophelia, King Lear loves his daughters. And yet all these stories end with more than a few dead bodies and broken hearts. Why is love so often accompanied by hatred and jealousy, so that a happy ending often seems ever more distant? The team behind the production “For you my love” also asked themselves this question.
We watched the dance theater piece together at the Schauburg, the Theater der Jugend der Stadt München, and were impressed by the many different ideas that the three actors and two dancers surprised us with while telling the stories.
“Wege ins Theater”
The way to the second theater visit in Munich on January 21, 2017 was cold and led us over snow and ice. But we were still in a great mood.

“A wonderful day! It’s really fun and exciting!”
That was the opinion of Selina, 15, who has now attended a theater performance for the second time.
