Workshops

Have you always wanted to be on stage or express yourself more freely in front of others?
Then this workshop is the perfect opportunity to get a taste of the theater and experiment creatively.
Through playful exercises in acting, movement, and voice, you'll discover together how much expression, energy, and presence you possess. The focus is on the joy of playing, spontaneity, group dynamics, and the courage to simply try something new.

The workshop invites you to overcome your own limits, appear more confident, and experience the effect of body, voice, and space in a very practical way — without pressure to perform and without prior knowledge.

The course is led by Anja S. Gläser, an actress, presenter, and theater educator with many years of stage and workshop experience.

An open participatory workshop for everyone who is interested in theater, creativity, and trying things out together.

Filmmaking is not just about creativity, but also about financing, contracts, and strategic decisions. This workshop sheds light on the often invisible side of film production: from funding structures, tax rebates, and presales to legal frameworks and budget responsibility.
It demonstrates in a practical and understandable way the challenges filmmakers must overcome behind the scenes – and how creative vision and economic reality can be reconciled.

"Everything you hear on a movie is a lie."

Sound engineers and sound producers Stephan Busch and Lothar Weise explain this to us in this two-part workshop. Besides the important dialogs, natural sounds are often boring and unoriginal and the recordings of ambient sounds and action sounds on the film set rarely live up to expectations. But luckily there are the so-called "sound effect artists" such as Jack Donovan Foley.

Star Wars producer George Lucas once said: "Sound is 50% of the whole movie". In these workshops, Stephan Busch and Lothar Weise take us into the world of real-sounding yet unreal noises and introduce us to one of the most dangerous sounds in the world.

In the second part of the workshop („CREATING SOUNDDESIGN“) will create the sound design for a 120-second film sequence live.

Are you interested in film, camera, or acting and want to experience how a short film is made directly on set?
Then our workshop is just right for you.
Together you develop creative scenes, work with professional film technology, and shoot your own short film in a real festival atmosphere. You will take on various roles on set – in front of or behind the camera – and gain exciting insights into the world of filmmaking.

The focus is on practical work: shooting, experimenting, staging, and bringing film scenes to life as a team. You'll be supported by filmmaker Antonia Best.
