Künstler*innenhaus Mousonturm

The TUSCHpektakel is a two-day theatre festival that presents work produced by students in collaboration with artists and teachers to interested audiences. The festival features both presentations of work as well as offers intensive exchange between participants and spectators. The Schultheater-Studio, a civic centre for theatre education in Frankfurt, supports collaborations between theatres and schools (TISCH!) since 2007 and in addition facilitates cultural education through theatre work, as well as provides introductions to theatre as a subject in schools. Drama classes are supplemented by visits to performances, talks with artists, workshops at theatres, staff trainings and visits by actors and directors to schools as well as other creative working formats. This year, there are 16 active partnerships: grade schools, special-needs schools, integrated and cooperative comprehensive schools, grammar schools and vocational training schools. The various performance and acting styles reflect the signature styles of the participating partner theatres. The festival program provides the children and young adults with the chance to see and discuss the work of their peers. Moderated talks follow each presentation, as well as other creative forms of scenic post-performance evaluation. An accompanying exhibition documents the partnerships and guest lecturers will discuss the collaborative work and provide new impulses. A round-table of drama teachers will look back at the entire past TUSCH year and provide a concluding analysis of the SCHpektakel.
