Congress of the Federal Association of Independent Performing Arts in Hamburg
The Federal Association of Independent Theater e.V. (in the future: Federal Association of Independent Performing Arts e.V.) is celebrating ist 25th anniversary. The association is using this event to organize a federal and international congress titled »vielfalt gestalten. frei und fair arbeiten« at Kampnagel Hamburg.
The perspective developed at our congress »Freies Theater der Zukunft« in Stuttgart in December 2010: the indepdnent performing arts are enormously enlivening for the aesthetic and structural development of theater is Germany. Invitations to theater meetings, cooperations between city theaters and independent groups as well as changing policy of selecting artistic directors in Berlin or Munich demonstrate this. At the same time, there are hardly any reliable social, legal, economic and sometimes artistic standards. Minimal wages, adequate production facilities, certified further education courses, etc. are lacking in independent production contexts.
This year’s BUFT congress »vielfalt gestalten – frei und fair arbeiten« thus addresses such issues as “Future Theater Structures”, “Between Calling and Career”, “Cultural Education”, “Focus on Europe” as well as the potentials and necessities of the further development of the performing arts in Germany as a whole. Heike Scharpff, project director at the Stiftung TANZ head office will attend the “Between Calling and Career” module and share her experience with career changes.

Their life is dance, was dance: Marianne Kruuse, Egon Madsen, Julia Krämer und Thomas Lempertz actively shaped ballet in Stuttgart and beyond. Two generations of talented dancers are brought back on stage by Egon Madsen in “Greyhounds”. The Theaterhaus dance production, which will premiere on November 1st 2015, brings together biographies of four dance personalities with choreographies by Marco Goecke, Mauro Bigonzetti, Eric Gauthier, John Neumeier and Amos Ben-Tal. In the dance profile, Egon Madsen and his ensemble give the audience an insight into the background and development of this evening, along with one or more other “samples”. Eric Gauthier is on site as a representative of the involved choreographers; in addition, Sabrina Sadowska (chairman of the board of the Stiftung TANZ – Transition Center Germany, which supports dancers in their career changes after the completion of their relatively short active work on stage) will also be there. Together, they – Eric Gauthier, Egon Madsen and his “Greyhounds” – will address some of the fundamental questions of the premiere: “why don’t we just simply stop?”

The social trend of shifting attention away from illness towards maintaining health is becoming noticeable in new professions. There are new educational careers as well as study programs in this area. Health education approaches it from the pedagogic direction; health management from the economic side; health sciences take a academic approach – all three study programs are offered as a BA and then MA.
For example, the MA “Public Health: psycho-social prevention and health promotion” is a health sciences study offer at the FU Berlin with an emphasis on questions relating to prevention and health promotion. Career opportunities for graduates can be found in areas of planning, shaping and evaluating health offers and structures (health politics), in health reporting (epidemiology), in public health institutions, in NGOs, at insurance companies, associations, inpatient and outpatient facilities as well as in health science research and teaching. This is a further education MA; fees are rather high.
