If you speak German, you can still apply for the Berliner Festspiele’s International Forum. The International Forum is a two week long course for professional theatremakers working in the field of spoken drama from around the world. Its objective is the targeted development of young artists via a specifically tailored programme of events within the Theatertreffen presented by the Berliner Festspiele. The Forum is conceived as a platform for a comprehensive exchange of questions, impressions and opinions. It comprises workshops focussing on practical skills, visits to the productions invited to the Theatertreffen, seminars, lectures and discussions and the opportunity to meet both emerging and established theatremakers from German speaking countries and around the world.

The programme is conducted in German.

The workshop programme for 2009 is entitled:

“Narrating Ourselves. The world as subject matter”.
