Two Perspectives, One Utopia
An exchange of words about equality and diversity – on a stony but fertile route – hoping for a time of fairness to come. Alrun Hofert and Sonja Anders both work at Schauspiel Hannover, the former as an actor, the latter as artistic director. They exchange their experiences of processes within their own theatre but also with politics and theatre-related organisations.

Transforming the Theatre
How can performing arts institutions reinvent themselves for the future beyond hierarchies, economic dominance and patriarchal models of management and leadership? What opportunities are there for further training and personal development? And who can actually contribute to effective change? Before we expand the conversation, Amelie Deuflhard and Christina Barandun provide some insights from the practical process of managing change at Kampnagel.
