Magic Moments
Theatre education. Often an entirely hollow term in contemporary language. What we mean when we say it?
Young people can show us things that others may not be able to see. This is how we can learn together and from each other. The amazing thing in this case is its immediacy. What we can build on is imagination. What we strive for is openness. The SCHÄXPIR festival wants to give this a place, or maybe even a stage.
How we understand this: SCHÄXPIR is like the lower jaw, and all the potential audience members are the upper jaw, and we are like the chewing gum in between. Others may call it theatre education, but that does not go so well with peppermint flavour. Our festival – just like theatre in general – lives from audience members, participants, and curiosity. That mixture creates new stories and that is wonderful, magical, minty, and full of colour. And so theatre education may just be a hollow term for one of the most colourful areas in theatre. This is where you come in: You and me, we all write stories – even when we don’t notice. Always new. Always our own. And that is a good thing, because we always experience new and magical moments. For example when we find out that the letters for SHAKESPEARE also make up the letters of RESHAPE.
We are looking forward to you sharing your magical moments with us, all the things you discovered and experienced, or maybe those moments when the magic was lost. Tell us about your MAGIC MOMENTS!

Magic Story
Theatre is old and a thing of the past. Maybe even the distant past. Cinema was yesterday. But maybe that isn’t the case at all, and theatre can be young, real, and immediate. We can find this immediacy of storytelling beyond plays, texts, and stages. The magic of the story.
What is that supposed to mean? Theatre can adapt, can transform and will always be as young as the people who make theatre, who watch and experience plays. The most important thing is always to do. To speak, to throw out, to invent, to tell stories, to talk to people, and so much more.
The SCHÄXPIR festival will develop an entirely unique piece together with a school class. We are looking for students with ideas, stories, costumes, texts and stages. Whether in school, at home, in the public space, and especially in ourselves we can find that spark, that infectious feeling of a good story. And now? Now we do and tell stories!
