Schaubude Berlin - Home

Educational offers

If you visit a performance with a group of schoolchildren, students, colleagues or other interested parties, there is also the option of arranging a production workshop, a moderated audience discussion or other forms of meeting with the artists.

For selected productions / co-productions, we offer theatre pedagogy material on request.

All offers at a glance:

1. Theatre pedagogy preparation and follow-up:

Through movement and the creative use of materials and objects, audio-visual media and text, we try to approach the production in a playful way in order to give children the space for their own positions, visions and ideas and to promote individual modes of expression.

2. Pedagogical theatre material for school classes:

Our pedagogical theatre material supports you in your own preparation and follow-up work in class for selected productions. It can be ordered via theaterpaedagogik@schaubude.berlin.

3. Recommendations and advice

Advice on the selection of suitable productions in the current programme with regard to play and lesson content, relevant topics of day-care and school days and artistic means of expression in puppet and object theatre.

All offers at a glance:

1. Expert days

For budding educators, an expert day is offered once every six months to accompany a selected children’s production. After a performance, the students enter into a creative exchange with the theatre educators of the Schaubude with artistic input and technical discussions throughout the staging.

The last expert day on “Electric Shadows” by florschütz&döhnert took place in February 2020. The next is expected to take place in 24 of November 2020. Please register by 20 november.

2. Theory and practice

How do young viewers perceive theatre? How do they behave in the auditorium? How can you exchange aesthetic experiences with children? We would like to invite prospective educators and teachers to attend a morning performance as observers in order to sharpen their focus on individuality and age-specific perspectives and behaviour and to exchange ideas with regard to their own future professional practice.

Duration: 2 hours

3. Thinking through play

Using artistic means of expression in puppet, figure and object theatre, we would like to offer concrete access to movement, material and objects as well as artistic or musical approaches in practical theatre training courses that are useful for conveying educational content when integrated into day-care and school days.
