MENTORING PROGRAMME
We understand mentoring as consultation and guidance by an experienced, and competent person in a particular field.
Often between projects and their realization overarching questions arise about structural issues and art that cannot be dealt with because of time or space restrictions. The Theaterfestival Schwindelfrei wants to do something about this by affording artists, groups and institutions the possibility of working together with a mentor on a particular issue.
The Theaterfestival Schwindelfrei will award up to four mentorships. Within the framework of the festival, from July 7-10, 2022, insights into this mentoring process will be shared with the public.
