Fachtag Nachwuchsarbeit "Vom Wuchern und Wachsen. Von Prekariat und Potentialen"

In the organizer's words:

The symposium creates a space for practical and theoretical knowledge transfer, (supra)regional networking and exchange between young artists and initiatives for the promotion of young talent.

While young cultural talent has been run on the back burner for years, inflation and exploding material prices are tearing visible holes in the tightly knit financial plans of newcomer productions, which can usually only be patched up with self-exploitation and voluntary work. Another cause for concern is the impending disappearance of venues and initiatives that have been available for decades as a platform for promoting young talent. What value does the art of up-and-coming creative artists have for a city and a region? Do lower fee limits also apply to up-and-coming artists? Who has what definition of young talent and why, and who is actually (not) reached by it?

Together with local and Saxon partners and up-and-coming artists, we would like to discuss questions about sustainable work with young talent and the problems of meeting demand in order to focus on the positions and needs of the performing arts in Saxony and think utopian.
