About Us

With Spielraum – Freie Szene Tage der darstellenden Künste Berlin 2024 (Spielraum – the 2024 Berlin Days of the Independent Performing Arts Community), the Berlin Performing Arts Program is coordinating a joint community-wide campaign for the first time from September 5 to 15, 2024, and annually thereafter.

The community-wide campaign places the focus on the locations of the independent performing arts community as places of encounter and movement, as places of exchange and of societal transformation. What community work, which neighborhood projects are intended for which audience members? How can connections to civil society be strengthened and how can new audience members be reached? How can we network ourselves beyond existing spaces, exchange perspectives and find new impulses for our community work? Tours of performance venues, open rehearsals, workshops, discussions with audiences, open houses, art in public space and neighborhood projects are taking place during the period of the campaign alongside and with the regular programming of the various stages and are intended for a broad audience.
