Race - Class - Gender. Intersectional Perspectives in Dance and Theater for the Youngest

At this year's symposium we will ask ourselves: How are race, class and gender represented - on stage, in the contents and the educational formats for (very) young children? Do we reproduce existing power structures by trying to break them up? How do dance and theater succeed at eye level?
Among others, three FRATZ research laboratories from Berlin, Cape Town and Lagos.
On the podiums Joshua Alabi, Nora Amin, Shelley Etkin, Malgven Gerbes, Thalia Laric, Isabelle Schad, Iury Salustiano Trojaborg, Marie Yan and many more will discuss and speak.

Note: Because of the current situation in regard of Covid-19, this event will take place online only! Registration possible via email address mentioned above.

For the productions as well as for the symposium on site, seat capacities are limited - so get in touch quickly!

Anarchy ≠ Chaos - In:equality is a creative workshop in which the participants exchange and reflect on fictional stories of equality and inequality. Together, young and old, we will try to create a temporary space to share across generations what equality or equal rights means to us and how our perspectives can enrich each other.
