Are you still looking for a venue for your project in 2027? Save the date – for the next information session on the planned decentralized venue model
On Tuesday, September 15, 2026, at 9:00 AM and on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at 5:00 PM, two online events by FTTS will take place, each with identical content. We’ll update you all on the current status of the planned decentralized venue concept in cooperation with venues from the “Solidargemeinschaft Stuttgarter Theater,” “Schaudepot,” and “Kunstverein Wagenhalle e.V.”
Join us! The goal is to inform you about the model before the application deadline for the city’s project funding from the Dance and Theatre Department, Cultural Office, on October 15, 2026, so you can take it into account in your planning, venue search, and application.
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.

NOCTURNAL CROSSINGS [as part of SCHWELLE – an intervention festival by the INTERAKT Initiative]
SCHWELLE – an intervention festival by the INTERAKT Initiative in the Stuttgart area
What do a bed, a chessboard and a box have in common? They are artefacts of our thinking and our existence, of a system—and now become tools to break through it. Power, social inequality, privilege, borders and collective memory collide, raising the question: Who do the rules of democracy actually apply to? Because equality is a promise that is never fully fulfilled. 3 events. 4 days. A playful intervention in our restless everyday lives that invites you to linger, take part and reflect—and encourages you to consider who democracy truly works for.
