We were very pleased by the positive response from the Independent Dance and Theatre Scene of Stuttgart to the initial presentation of the Decentralized Venue Model. Therefore, we would like the further coordination process with the Solidarity Community of Stuttgart Theatres and other partner institutions that have contacted us to be accompanied by a focus group from the Independent Scene. We are looking for five individuals who are artistically and/or organizationally active in the Independent Dance and Theatre Scene Stuttgart and wish to contribute their perspectives to the further development process.

At the “We are the Stuttgart Sign!” rally on June 6, 2026, on Stuttgart’s market square, organized by the Stuttgart Alliance for Culture, Education, and Social Affairs, a large number of people showed that culture, education, and social affairs are not a dispensable luxury, but the foundation of a vibrant urban society. During the rally, Jule Lotte Bröcker, freelance puppeteer and physical comedian, spoke for Stuttgart’s culture.
