    The German theatre system offers diverse structures; rights, duties and responsibilities go hand in hand with the contract as an ensemble member. The guide can provide orientation for joining a dance or ballet company in a state or municipal theatre after professional training. Many questions arise, situations that one is not yet familiar with from studies, quickly overwhelm or tie up too much attention. This can be avoided if a „Vademecum Dance" can provide answers to the questions or help for self-help. Challenges can be mastered reliably. The advantage: The Vademecum Dance can always be updated, because with changing times and structural changes, the questions posed also change. The Vademecum Dance looks at the topics as a multi-perspective guide.


    The webinar was produced in 2023 and provides basic knowledge. Please note that there may be changes to specific dates or details. We will always endeavour to keep you as up to date as possible with any updates.
