THEATRE PROFESSIONS IN ACTION

Education Day

The VBW Education Day is a highlight for anyone who wants to know how theatre really works. In a programme put together especially for the day, experts from the VBW musical division provide exciting insights into their stage professions. From make-up to technology to stage design: the pupils experience live on a large stage how many trades have to work together to put on a musical every evening. In a relaxed atmosphere, they can ask the experts questions in a plenary session or in a personal discussion. The programme concludes with a joint visit to the musical, during which the impressions of the morning are brought into harmony with the musical in the evening.

The apprentice project

Musical - more than just theatre

Combining a musical workshop with vocational training? Thanks to the cooperation with the OeAD and Basis.Kultur.Wien, the VBW enables apprentices not only to see musicals, but also to experience them. In an all-day workshop, the young vocational school students get to grips with a current VBW production. They dance, sing, act, take a look behind the scenes and relate the themes of the play to the young people's lives. The VBW also provides insights into different professional fields.

Are you interested in a workshop for your vocational school class? Register at jungesmusical@vbw.

Inclusive musical project at NMS Gassergasse

As part of the cultural outreach programme of the VBW musical division, an inclusive musical project based on the current musical production "Bodyguard" by Vereinigte Bühnen Wien, a Wien Holding company, took place last week at NMS Gassergasse. A similar, extremely successful project was already carried out there last school year by VBW Cultural Outreach.

In cooperation with the "Weisser Ring" and the school itself, a week-long workshop was held with pupils aged 10 to 14, working in a wide variety of areas under the motto "I am my own bodyguard". As part of the lessons led by VBW cultural outreach, the children spent a whole week working on the production. Every day, they danced, sang, improvised and played. The pupils also worked on two choreographies and developed scenes based on their own personal experiences on the themes of "I am my own bodyguard", "Bodyguard for others" and civil courage. The results of the last few days were then presented to teachers and parents in a grand final presentation.
