New professor for Aesthetics in TYA at the University of Hildesheim

Maike Gunsilius, researcher, dramaturg and performer, starts her first semester as Professor of the Aesthetics of TYA at the University of Hildesheim this October. She follows Geesche Wartemann, one of the founding members of ITYARN, in this unique professorship. In ASSITEJ Germany’s magazine IXYPSILONZETT (2/2020) she reflects on her sources of inspiration. She names a variety of songs, games, books (i.e. “Queenie” by Candice Carty-Williams) and tv series and, of course, the theatre.

European Theatre Forum 11 – 13 November 2020 in Dresden and online

The European Theatre Forum is part of the activities within the German EU Council Presidency and it is the first ever format that brings performing arts from all over Europe together. How should and will the EU fund and support its theatre landscapes in the next 10 years or so?

ASSITEJ International has been active in the planning process of this European event and although the European Theatre Forum will be hosted online, it will still be located in the city of Dresden, where one of the biggest and oldest TYA-venues in Germany – the Theater Junge Generation – is located. Stefan Fischer-Fels and Julia Dina Heße are involved on behalf of ASSITEJ Germany.

FRATZ International is the only festival nationwide held especially for participants aged zero to six, always accompanied by a symposium.

This year, the FRATZ 2020 symposium chose as its directing themes class. gender. race. asking, how do we represent class, race, gender for the very young? At this moment of wished-for social transformations while dialogues intensify and although inequalities keep growing? And we thought it could be useful to stop on some of the terms we use and make them more visible, defining the cosmos we move in, to find a common ground before the 2020 Symposium takes place.

The progressive glossary of thoughts and intersections offer explanations of why we use certain terms, trying to tie together theory and practice in the context of performing arts for the very young.
