For individuals

New concept, more co-operation!
What's new?
Solidarity and the preservation of democracy need networks and sometimes input from outside. We have found some great partners for this autumn and winter. I am delighted to be organising the next three training courses together with our neighbour Gesicht Zeigen! (26 September), with our NGO Spielzeit transaidency e.V. (24 October) and with our former colleague Line Papendieck (28 November)!

What remains? Once a month on Thursdays, we invite you to our GRIPS Box at Hansaplatz for further training on various theatre topics. The topics change from time to time. The aim is always to get hands-on experience of theatre and to learn methods that can be used in your own environment.

Participation is free of charge and no prior knowledge is required.
A certificate of attendance will be issued.

Place & time GRIPS Box Hansaplatz, 5 - 8 pm

The power of your own voice
This workshop deals with the voice and its possibilities. The voice as an instrument for presence, politicisation and as a possible key to self-confidence will be explored together. We will collect tools from the field of voice training and choral singing to empower ourselves vocally - alone and with each other.
 - with Line Papendieck, who you may remember as a theatre and music pedagogue at the GRIPS Theatre from last season or from the ‘Voice and Language’ workshop.

Showing your face playfully and democratically!

Political education that is orientated towards the lives of children and young people is a focus of the work of Gesicht Zeigen! and its learning centre 7xjung. In a three-hour training course for educators, you will get to know the tried-and-tested working methods and low-threshold educational materials on the topics of a diverse society, exclusion and cohesion. With interactive methods, motivating materials and space for exchange on practical implementation, the training provides valuable impulses for playfully strengthening democratic attitudes in everyday school life.

with Joanna Mandalian, political educator and theatre pedagogue, responsible for further training at Gesicht Zeigen! für ein weltoffenes Deutschland e.V.

Biographical storytelling with objects 
What does my bunch of keys know about my life? This workshop explores the possibilities of biographical storytelling based on objects. By placing an object at the centre, it is possible to take a step back as a performer and discover new perspectives on familiar stories. We will try out different ways of combining object theatre and biographical storytelling in everyday school life and developing short, concise scenes.

with Josephine Hock, who studied contemporary puppetry and works as a tutor for object theatre at the Rostock University of Music and Theatre.

Prospective teachers use their words to provide insights into their observations of everyday school life. In workshops with rap and spoken word artist Lila Sovia aka Lavender Szymula and our theater pedagogy, they are prepared for the poetry slam stage.

This year, the Praxisschock slam will take place at Hansaplatz.
In cooperation with the Humboldt University of Berlin

Date: 24. January 2025, 7 pm
Venue: GRIPS Hansaplatz
