We have been participating in the TUSCH program – TUSCH stands for Theater und Schule – since 2002 and within that time frame developed and devised productions and projects with seven different schools.

Since 2016 our partner school is the CARL-BOSCH-SCHULE in Hersmdorf. For this year´s TUSCH festival drama educator Minna Partanen, her team and a number of students from the school created a new show called SHAPE UP! to be performed at Podewil on Friday March 15th at 1pm

SHAPE UP!  Kommt es dir vor, als ob die Welt sich zu schnell dreht? Hast du Angst, dass du nicht deinen Platz im Leben findest? Es ist an der Zeit, dein bestmögliches Leben zu leben. Gestatte uns, dein inneres Potential zu entfesseln. Ein spekulativer Blick auf eine (un)behagliche Zukunft. | In englischer Sprache | Leitung: Minna Partanen, Brea Robertson, Jacqueline Beie, Mareike Dittmer, Fritzi Steglich, Benedikt Wahls

We are very pleased to announce the lineup for the 2019 Expo: A Showcase of Wahlberliner! We were blown away by the amount of interest and talent you offered the curatorial team and, with over 160 applications, the number of projects to choose from was even more than ever before!

We would once again like to thank all applicants for their time and their talent and genuinely regret that we were unable to offer more of you a performance.
