"Where would we end up if everyone could do whatever they wanted?" – But perhaps this is precisely the key – to self-awareness, further development and overcoming personal problems. In our new episode, we get to know Mohammad & Hussein Eliraqui and the ACT e.V. | Führe Regie über dein Leben theater group. Here, young people work together to develop plays based on the "veto principle" on topics that are hot on their minds. The rule of thumb here is that everyone can do (or not do) what they want – within a certain framework. This approach encourages personal responsibility and self-reflection on the part of the participants. The results are fascinating, sometimes provocative and sometimes moving. For this episode, we accompanied the group working on their new piece "A safe haven" („Zuflucht“). See for yourself. If you like to support meet THE GOOD ONES 👉🏻 https://lnkd.in/e4ag7FsF #VetoPrinzip #theatre #goodbringsgood You can always say NO!

Did You Know? Before its transformation into the Empire Arts Center, it was first called the New Grand. The New Grand stood as the first theatre in Grand Forks designed specifically for showing motion pictures. Currently, the Empire is the city's last surviving downtown movie house!

In our productions the actors on stage become a mirror reflecting the human experience and the stories unfolding can often be the awakening of something dormant within ourselves. "Theatre can make us believe, not just in something 'out there', but predominantly in something 'in there', inside of each and every one of us." Theatre has always been more than just a performance; it's a communion of souls, a shared exploration of the human condition. As the characters come to life, you will not be merely spectators, but active participants in the unfolding drama. Through their triumphs and tribulations, joys and sorrows, we catch glimpses of our own struggles and victories mirrored in their stories. Each performance is a mirror held up to our own lives, inviting us to confront our fears, embrace our vulnerabilities, and celebrate our strengths. In the hushed moments of revelation, we find echoes of our own innermost thoughts, fears, and desires reverberating through the theatre walls. For in the sacred space between the stage and the audience lies the power to believe—not just in something 'out there', but predominantly in something 'in there', inside each and every one of us. #TheatreLife #ActorsLife #StageReflections #TheatreMagic #EmbraceVulnerability #CelebratingStrengths #TheatreInspiringChange

Developed by Jacob L Moreno in the early 20th. century, theatre involves participants in social contexts where they think, talk, create, share, and arrive at decisions. Integrating #theatre 🎭, we've had the opportunity to talk with Kotak Life on - VUCA-ready (https://lnkd.in/d2Ry_WK9 - 1 min.) - managing priorities (https://lnkd.in/dkpdDWps - <3 min.) to some excellent client feedback 😁.

For this year's celebration, it will be a little more comfortable... 🤩 One hundred years after the first season, the Welttheater Einsiedeln will be staged as an open-air theater for the 17th time in 2024. For the 100th anniversary, there will be covered grandstands for the audience for the first time. These are currently being erected by our crew members in front of the baroque monastery church ⛪ 🛠️. They are nimble. Every move is perfect, and the grandstands are growing day by day, as you can see in the following video 😊 #eventstructures #eventbau #temporarysolutions #eventsolution #buildingbigmoments #buildingmemories #sustainability #connectingyou

Prometheus has fire, Hermes-winged sandals, and the first parents-an apple of paradise. What item would you use on stage to highlight your message❓ The prop in conjunction with its proper figure is an indispensable part of the message. A stage prop : - make your speech different from the others - allows you to express yourself in the way you want - gives your speech a deeper than literal conventional meaning, referring the addressee to the sphere of secondary modeling meanings: figurative and non-literal BUT REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR PROP. Don't stand still with it without using it. Remember to use it in many ways, for example: showing a slide, making movements. Every movement should be thought out, so that you don't find that you have a prop in your hand that can get in your way. I recall one speech. A woman was holding notes in her hand and.... a sword, which was used for nothing. Only at the beginning of the speech it was clear that she was referring to the Star Wars because at the beginning of her speech, the audience could hear the music from the movie. After that, the sword only got in the way of the speaker, especially since she was still holding notes in her hand. Remember, sometimes less is more. Do you agree? #publicspeaking #theatre #tedx

ICYMI: Drumroll please, for the results of the 2023 Youth Theatre in Scotland Sector Review, the national survey that helps us identify how we’re all developing as an overall youth theatre sector, and how we can develop further. Findings from the research provide a snapshot of youth theatre provision in Scotland in 2023 and how it compares it to the sector in 2015 and 2020. The findings help YTAS to capture the big picture, and sharpen the focus of our work. Read the full report and our findings over at https://buff.ly/4atAU5a
