With this branch meeting laPROF wants to try out a new format in the state capital Wiesbaden, which has already been successfully carried out in Berlin. The idea is to create a multi-day meeting point for the Hessian independent performing arts, where the focus is on exchange, further qualification, discourse and knowledge transfer. The aim is to focus on new needs and market trends in the scene and to offer various forms of events in this regard.
The target group is therefore colleagues from the entire Hessian region, as well as students as future colleagues. On two evenings there will also be the opportunity to see the play "Werfwolfkommandos" by Marie Schwesinger, Fabiola Eidloth and Julia Just. This is because the cooperation partner is the MADE.Festival, which presents particularly interesting performing arts productions from all over Hesse. Kaleidoskop, the children's and youth theater days in the Hessian region, will also be involved.
Funded by the Hessian Ministry of Science and Art, in the measure "Promotion of Cultural and Creative Industries Institutions" by the Hessian Ministry of Economy, Energy, Transport and Housing, by Fonds Darstellende Künste e.V., by Kulturfonds Frankfurt RheinMain, by Kulturamt Wiesbaden and by Amt für Soziale Arbeit Wiesbaden.
The focus is on lectures and podiums that look at the main topic from different directions. Both national and regional speakers and discussants will be involved in order to bring together competencies from both levels. It is also important to think outside the box and to draw on expertise from outside the scene.
In addition, workshops will be helad to provide very hands-on support to colleagues.
Another format is the Market of Opportunities, where associations, foundations, sponsors, festivals, etc. set up booths at the venue to meet with our colleagues. The Market of Opportunities is another format where associations, foundations, sponsors, festivals, etc. set up booths at the venue to talk to our colleagues. During the breaks and in the early evening, colleagues can get information.
There is also the opportunity to watch performances.
Because of the Hessian state elections in the fall, the industry meeting will end with a talk show with cultural politicians.The cultural policy spokespersons of the democratic parties represented in the state parliament will talk about their plans for the independent performing arts.
That the question of spaces is of particular importance for the performing arts seems clear. Spaces are the central focus of an art form that deals with liveness and presence. It is relevant what kind of spaces are played, whether classical stages, flexible theater spaces, specific locations, public space or even virtual spaces. Artists who play the respective spaces need different possibilities.
For the cultural workers, it is therefore particularly relevant what conditions they find with regard to the spaces and what possibilities they have. Models of joint management are just as important for them as rules in public space, guest performances or the virtual space, which is becoming increasingly important for performing arts. But also the debate about the organization of discrimination-sensitive spaces and safer space should be a topic.
17 – 19 h
Freiräume(n)
10 –12 h
Free Performing Arts and guest-performances
To kick things off, we are planning an event that fundamentally asks which spaces enable which freedom or what opportunities they have for our artistic work. A lecture has been requested for this purpose. The following roundtable invites artists from Hessen to talk about their perspective on the above mentioned topic based on the lecture: What are free spaces of our scene? Theater houses? Or what about non-theater places, so-called "third spaces" or public space?
Keynote: Paola Wechs (Free Urbanist)
Moderation: Philipp Schulte (Hessian Theatre Academy)
Bárbara Luci Carvalho (protagon e.V.)
Ines Wuttke (FLUX)
Heike Meister (raumstation 3539 Gießen)
Mareike Buchmann (Performance artist & movement researcher)
Language: German / in german spoken language
The fact that artists in cities live almost exclusively from producing is not sustainable. How can good productions be sent on tour through Hessen? What could a new guest performance system in Hessen look like? What do theaters need in order to be able to host productions? What do artists need to be able to go on tour? How must funding change?
Moderation: Katja Hergenhahn (Made.Festival)

Language: German / in german spoken language
10 –12 h
Safer Space
What strategies are there to design safer spaces in / as events and institutions and to hold them collectively? What agreements need to be made for shared spaces and how do we think about self-managed spaces today?
And: How does the concept of "Braver Space" actually differ from "Safer Space"?
Moderation: Sharon Jamila Hutchinson (Visual and Performing Arts, Cultural Politics)
Ana Paula dos Santos (Photographer)

Sulti (Climate- and Antiracist Activist)
Language: English / english spoken language
14 -16 h
Collective leadership
There is a lot of talk about abuse of power in the theater scene, criticizing the misconduct of individual leaders. But perhaps the problem is structural. One counter-model to this is collective leadership models, which have been increasingly attempted in recent years. How can places be managed collectively? What does this make more difficult, what better? What does it take?
Moderation: Martina Ruhsam
Andrea Rohrberg (Coach)
Elke Weber (SheShe Pop)

Language: German / in german spoken language
14–16 h
Body in digital space
The panel questions artistic strategies at the interface between analog and digital space. Together we will reflect on the use of technologies in performances as prostheses, sensors or players. Which body (imagination) manifest themselves in the digital space? // Which strategies have artists and researchers developed to explore the materiality of the so-called digital? // What concepts of performativity emerge from digital tools and stages? // What socio-political realities can be hacked? What are the sources of error?

Rethinking the Stage!
Innovative artistic approaches to promote equal participation in art and culture for all. Based on the equal perspectives of people with and without disabilities, "Aesthetics of Access" opens up the enormous artistic potential of an understanding of art that is conceived and practiced in a barrier-free way. In this way, new qualities are added to the work and the process, the means of accessibility become artistic vocabulary and their application a source of inspiration. In this workshop, the Un-Label team will provide insights into the creative processes of this procedure and presentbest practices for the use of accessibility as an aesthetic element. A transfer of ideas for your future cultural and artistic work will be encouraged.
