We’re looking forward to exchanging ideas with you all.

Call for Participation: Focus Group on the Decentralized Venue Model of FTTS gUG
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.
