It’s All About... Talking: Curation and Communication in the Performing Arts
14.08.2019 – 17.08.2019 in Berlin
Communication is crucial for curators. They communicate online and offline, with artists, the audience, politicians, and colleagues. Surrounding this topic of communication, we will learn about the necessary skills from experts, discuss strategies, and exchange experiences.
Experts from different fields will share their knowledge with us, and a group discussion will follow each presentation. Furthermore, the workshop includes inputs from two experienced curators. One of them is Virve Sutinen, Artistic director of the festival Tanz im August, the other one is Martine Dennewald, Artistic director of festival Theaterformen. Attendance of two performances will give us the opportunity to discuss artistic quality and what makes a curation good.
With:
- Martine Dennewald (artistic director festival Theaterformen) on the topic „Communication with artists“
- Virve Sutinen (artistic director Tanz im August): Curatorial choices, artist-presenter communication
- Madeline Ritter (Tanzfonds, Company Dance On, DIEHL+RITTER): Politicians and sponsors
- Marc Lippuner (director WABE and Kulturfritzen): Social media communication, marketing tools
- Amelie Mallmann (mediator/educator, Tanzkomplizen): Mediatory activities
- Eva Hartmann (coach, producer, dramaturg): Team communication
Concept, facilitator: Karin Kirchhoff (curator festival Tanz! Heilbronn)
