The Power Of Action
performance series
Unterwegs
In this season, there are three projects at the same time, dealing actively with the themes of power and misuse of power to reveal alternatives.
The overall project THE POWER OF ACTION is composed of the separate projects »Identität Macht Status« (identity, power, status), »Simply Act!« und »In Charge!« and is addressed to teens aged between 14 and 18. Thanks to our cooperation with In Via, the participants are mostly coming from the vocational preparation programmes of the social association. The participation in on a voluntary basis and in case spots remain free, we are happy to accept other teenagers being interested. An additional cooperation partner is the Kulturbunker Mühlheim, supporting us with rehearsal rooms and performances spaces.
On the 10 / 17 and 24 September, the teenagers participated in the workshop »Identität Macht Status« (Identity, power, status) where they didn't only learn how it feels to perform themselves, but also, how power structures are dominating our daily life and how it is possible to oppose something to these structures and to break them. Furthermore, the participants got to know the procedure and the departments of Schauspiel Köln, whereby they were presented different jobs and could learn that theatre can only lead to artistic results on stage thanks to teamwork and commitment of several people.
During the autumn break from 12 until 16 October, as well as from 19 until 23 October, the second performance-week »Simply Act« took place. After the morning body- and acting training as well as after some theoretical input about examples from the performance art, the own brainstorming began. We came up with performative actions daily, which where immediately publicly performed and documented in the city area Mühlheim. We were questioning alleged facts and mixed them up.
In December, we started with the rehearsals for the production project »In Charge!«. 14 teenagers met once a week to develop a piece with the choreographer Felipe Gonzales and the director Ana Valeria Gonzalez. The piece is about power and its distribution. The teenagers are very dedicated and we are looking forward to the digital premiere on June 8th of 2021!
