Experiencing the daily life and work in a small theatre in Marburg Germany. The voluntaries who come to us will participate in a large variety of daily tasks, ranging from office activities to everything on stage and backstage. According to their capabilities and interests they may initiate their own projects or take part in existing ones. Therefore the voluntary will gain insight into the administrational procedures of a cultural centre as well as the actual creating andproducing of art in various forms. This includes: - Being assistant director for several plays - to provide support for stage building, requisites or any other support needed for a production - learn to handle illumination engineering, - general office assistance - distribute poster and flyers - preparation and realisation of a workshop relating to theatre Frequently different generations of volunteers, usually two at the same time, contact each other, so the experience is shared on the spot and people from different cultural backgrounds work side by side to create art, performances and plays. Naturally they improve their language skills through everyday interaction with people at work and in private. Being an active part of an lively cultural scene in a university town in the midst of Germany is what we want to achieve with and for the voluntary.
