The organization Lebenshilfe Kunst und Kultur gGmbH has been successfully realizing inclusive cultural projects in the field of performing arts since 1997 such as NO LIMITS Festival, Grenzenlos Kultur Festival, Mittenmang Festival, ALLES MUSS RAUS! Street Theatre Festival and boulevART.
Starting with a presentation of the festivals, this international roundtable gives an insight into inclusive festival work in terms of content and organization. Joined by Festival Director of Lebenshilfe Kunst und Kultur Andreas Meder (Germany), Festival Curator Steffen Sünkel (Germany), Artistic Director of Hijinx Theatre Ben Pettitt-Wade (Great Britain), by Directors Sharon Gavrielov and Or Alterman-Barnea of the festival Safe Place (Israel) and Theatre Director Christina Schelhas (Germany).
We will be discussing questions like: What is great and what is challenging about planning inclusive festivals in particular? What are the experiences with inclusive performances, especially for young audiences? How do methods such as relaxed performances work to enable a young neurodivergent audience to attend the theatre? How to ensure accessibilities for every audience? What are the difficulties and opportunities of (digital) accessibility?
For in-person participants, see you at: Tobakken, Gasværksgade 2, 6700 Esbjerg, in 'Foredragsalen' 1st Floor.
