Schlagwörter: futur3
Die Menschen in der Ukraine, einschließlich unserer Künstlerkolleg*innen, sind nach sieben Jahren Krieg, der 13.000 Menschenleben gekostet hat und über eine Millionen Menschen zur Flucht gezwungen hat, wieder in einer sehr bedrohlichen Lage. Uns erreichen immer mehr Nachrichten von Kolleg*innen, die eine Flucht-Tasche gepackt haben, sich im Schießen ausbilden lassen, oder vor Sorge bereits ihren Wohnort verlassen haben. Wir wollen als Künstler*innen in Köln ein Zeichen der Solidarität mit den Menschen in der Ukraine setzen, deren Friede, Freiheit und Leben bedroht sind. Sie brauchen unser aller Unterstützung, jetzt!
Deshalb feiern wir ein Happening der Künste, mit Musik, Lesung, Talks und live-Gesprächen mit Menschen aus allen Regionen der Ukraine.

Especially in times of the pandemic, artists are thinking about how to reach audiences better, how to inform them better, how to get and stay in contact with interested people. Because that's what we're about: making theatre that - to use a current term - resonates. That takes up themes that want and need to be dealt with (artistically). And also topics that are sometimes above all fun and that, through humour and lightness, point back to the big stories that don't have to have anything to do with current crises.
In fact, funding institutions, with whose financial help ensembles like Futur3 can realise their projects, have tried to ensure the survival of independent art with various funding formats even during the pandemic. Thanks for that. And, in fact, it has given rise to completely new ideas on the promotion of art, which will hopefully continue to have an effect even after the pandemic! For example, it helps artists immensely if they can adapt their creative periods to their own rhythms rather than to budget years. This is an almost presumptuous concept - but one that is now slowly gaining acceptance.
Futur3 has received funding from the nationally active Performing Arts Fund in summer 2021 under the project title RE-LINK (= reconnection!), which should enable us to do what we have described above: More direct communication with the audience. We have therefore launched various new formats and actions:
A podcast.
Yes, us too.
With the title of our podcast, wealsowant to describe our working method: "Futur3 Theatre: konzept&zufall".
In the podcast we give an insight into the rehearsal room of Futur3 - and into the performance practice: the audience is invited to ask questions. Of all kinds! Such as: About the brand of our mask products; where we come across our themes; why the last project was so sensationally interesting/boring/pressing/meaningless etc.; whether we will also play in Bielefeld sometime; why we think you still have to make plays about Nazis; and so on.
In our podcast, the questions are written down on cards and placed upside down on the table. There sit: the artistic directors of Futur3 and other members and associates of the Futur3 family. Depending on the topic, sometimes the dramaturgy, sometimes the music, the stage design - and of course the actors. The people at the table take turns drawing a question card and have to answer. As quickly, precisely and spontaneously as possible! In a maximum of 2 minutes. Then comes the next question.
New strategies in social media.
Phew, difficult topic.
We want to test alternatives to FB&Co. and try to make the digital world more democratic, more transparent and less (purely) profit-oriented. But above all, we want to be where our audience is!
So for now, you can still find us on Meta, especially on Instagram.
We would like to get out of the pure advertising use of the channels, if not completely. We are testing how we can use the existing platforms in a new way. More creative, more communicative, more social.
Play development in open rounds
Yes or No? Why either, or?
Currently, the Instagram account @futur3_theatre offers insights into the rehearsal work on the new production "The One Next Door" and creates opportunities to design the avatars even before the premiere.
The Futur3 (Instagram) audience can participate in the development of the play via story surveys and, if they make it to the theatre, find their answers and influences on stage.
An open theatre bar
Please chill your own drinks!
In a relaxed, closed atmosphere (Instagram currently limits the size of chat groups to 32 members), Futur3 also wants to enter into deeper discussions with its audience. Chat groups complement the respective formats, e.g. they offer the opportunity to ask questions while listening to the podcast or to ask the next question.
A corporate design of your own
Forreal?
What sounds like business should also bring a little concept to the appearance of Futur3 . Within the framework created by this, however, there should be enough room for the diversity of our projects and new creative ideas. Therefore, we have gently revised our graphics to be more clearly recognisable. Concept & coincidence.
By and with: André Erlen, Stefan H. Kraft (artistic direction); Martin Herrndorf (communication strategist); Charlotte Luise Fechner, Sandra Nuy (audience communication & podcast consulting); Jörg Ritzenhoff (audio & jingle); Peggy Lex (graphic design); Fotis Totolidis (programmer); Nastassja Pielartzik (project assistance); Theresa Heußen (production management)
Re-Link Theatre is funded by the Fonds Darstellende Künste e.V.

Thank you for all the feedback and exciting questions you have already asked us on the sidelines of the performances.
We don't want to leave these questions unanswered!
That's why we are launching our new podcast series, Futur3 Theatre: konzept&zufall, with an episode on 1934 - Stimmen.
The episode will be published before the end of December 2021 and will answer as many of your questions about the play as possible.
You haven't asked your questions about 1934 - Stimmen yet?
Send your questions, comments and input to info[at]futur-drei.de by 8 December and we will take you into the recording studio.
Speaking with: André Erlen (artistic direction & stage direction), Stefan H. Kraft (artistic direction & play); Charlotte Luise Fechner (selection/editing of the Abel papers & choral text); Sandra Nuy (selection/editing of the Abel papers & advice).

We did it! After a long theatrical dry spell, we were finally able to bring our German-Ukrainian co-production "Ich will Leben!" to the stage; even if only as an internal premiere at the new Senftenberg stage. The joy of finally telling Selma Meerbaum's poems and the incredible story of the rescue of her only book of poems spilled over from the team to the production. We want to and can share this special theatre event with you soon - if the Corona values continue to fall. We remain optimistic and would like to invite you to our upcoming performances in Cologne and near Hamburg

How can a theatrical "social game" look like that shifts the public space and its debates into the living room and how can spectators become players, empowered to stage themselves along the rules of the game in these very debates?
Photos: ©Futur3SPEAK OUT wants to playfully illuminate the playing field of democratic community against the backdrop of the collective pandemic experience:
As participants in a global real-time "experiment" without a script, we currently feel directly that individual freedom cannot be separated from responsibility for others and the social whole.
In the crash course we experience how quickly existing agreements between community and individual can be redefined.
Where on this "playing field" is our position as a private person? As a group? What is "relevant" in our system?
With the Reload grant from the Federal Cultural Foundation, Futur3 will be able to explore these questions in autumn 2020 and continue searching for the form of a theatrical setting without performers, infrastructure or technology. The wish: pop-up theatre for the home.
Design:
André Erlen, Stefan H. Kraft, Luzia Schelling, Irene Eichenberger, Theresa Heußen
Funded in the programme Reload. Grants for independent groups from the Federal Cultural Foundation
