Festivalcampus Niedersachsen

For the fourth consecutive year Theaterformen are hosting the Lower Saxony Festival Campus: fifty students of cultural and theatre studies, performing arts, scenography and composition from five universities in Lower Saxony are coming to Hanover. They are invited to participate in the festival, discuss their experiences with the artists and reflect on the performances within seminars and workshops.

Thanks to the generous support of the Lower Saxony Foundation, in 2021 the project can again take place in close cooperation with the Festival KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen, which hosted the Festival Campus in May. The students from Hanover, Hildesheim, Braunschweig und Lüneburg closely participate in two festivals experiencing a variety of aesthetics that allow for an artistic and interdisciplinary exchange that might not be possible within a seminar room. Lecturers from various disciplines enable the students to take their perspectives beyond their particular disciplinary horizon.

Within the frame of the Festival Campus, Festival Theaterformen and KunstFestSpiele offer artists and academics of tomorrow a space for critical reflection and engaged dialogue: the basis of vivid and socially relevant cultural and artistic work.
