AN ACT OF TRANSLATION A discussion about risk, patience and globalisation by Leandro Kees, Verena Regensburger, Mina Salehpour and Gerd Taube
What do directors need to know about their young audience? What role does this topic play in artistic training? Do you need a special attitude towards this audience? What possibilities are there for children and young people to participate in decision-making processes in the theater? Three directors exchanged their thoughts via e-mail about these and other questions about directing in the theater for young audiences. Leandro Kees, at the time was working on a youth novel in Patagonia, Mina Salehpour was directing at Staatsschauspiel in Dresden and Verena Regensburger was working in Munich. The digital discourse was nevertheless stimulating and made the three directors, who have not yet met in person, curious about the work of the other participants.
