    m2act network meeting 2025

    The next network meeting will take place in October 2025 in collaboration with Helvetiarockt. Its thematic focus will be the abuse of power and sexualised and gender-specific violence in art and culture. More information will become available here on the m2act website in 2025.

Toolbox

The m2act toolbox offers practical tips and solutions developed through co-creative projects, which can be used to meet current challenges in the performing arts. We expand the toolbox continually with findings and insights from the networking events and projects that have received funding. The tools are available to everyone for unrestricted use and further development.

Dialogues

We regularly engage in dialogues regarding co-creative processes, fair practices and sustainable structures with experts from the performing arts and other areas.

One year After the m2act x Burning Issues network meeting in Bern, at which cultural and creative professionals discussed diversity, inclusion and equality in the performing arts and drew up a final document, – we look back and ask: What developments and changes have already been triggered by the initiatives? What problems and obstacles have arisen? And how can we ensure that the initiatives have as lasting an impact as possible?

🚀Diesen Freitag stellen wir das von uns geförderte Projekt von Heitere Fahne und Frei_Raum vor:

„PRA KULTURMACHER*IN“
Eine Praktische Ausbildung in der Kunst, Gesellschaft zu machen

Ein inklusiver Kultursektor braucht DiversitĂ€t im Personal vor, hinter und auf der BĂŒhne! Fehlende Bildungsangebote verhindern aber Menschen mit Behinderungen oft den Einstieg in die professionelle Kulturwelt. Die Heitere Fahne und das Kollektiv Frei_Raum rufen deshalb eine Kulturausbildung fĂŒr Menschen mit anderen Lernmöglichkeiten ins Leben

Gemeinsam mit Nele Jahnke (Regisseurin, Dramaturgin und Teil des Leitungsteams der MĂŒnchner Kammerspiele) und Susanne Schneider (TanzpĂ€dagogin, Choreografin und MitbegrĂŒnderin BewegGrund) entwickeln die Heitere Fahne und das Kollektiv Frei_Raum einen Lehrplan. Dieser deckt sowohl Grundlagen kĂŒnstlerischer Arbeit in den Darstellenden KĂŒnsten wie auch ein VerstĂ€ndnis von AblĂ€ufen in Kulturinstitutionen ab.

👉Weitere Infos zum Projekt findest du auf unserer Webseite. Link in der Bio.

🚀This Friday we present you the project we are supporting from Heitere Fahne and Frei_Raum:

„PRA CULTURE MAKER“
Practical training in the art of making society

An inclusive cultural sector needs diversity in front of, behind and on stage! However, a lack of educational opportunities often prevents people with disabilities from entering the professional cultural world. Heitere Fahne and the Frei_Raum collective are launching a cultural education programme for people with different learning opportunities.

Together with Nele Jahnke (director, dramaturge and part of the management team of Munich Kammerspiele) and Susanne Schneider (dance teacher, choreographer and co-founder of BewegGrund), Heitere Fahne and the Frei_Raum collective are developing a curriculum. This covers both the basics of artistic work in the performing arts and an understanding of processes in cultural institutions.

☀Heute stellen wir dir das von uns geförderte Vorhaben des Theater Chur vor:

“MAKING PEACE”
House peace and the path to democratic participation at Theater Chur

Am Theater Chur sollen zeitgemĂ€sse Betriebsstrukturen entstehen. Theaterleitung und Team wollen gemeinsam Formen der Zusammenarbeit zur Positionierung nach innen und aussen finden, die den Aufgaben und BedĂŒrfnissen eines Theaterbetriebs wie dem Theater Chur aktuell entsprechen und in die Zukunft weisen.

Die Vision ist, Frieden durch Aktion zu schaffen. Zuerst im Team und dann als Institution und hinaus in die Stadt, mit kĂŒnstlerischen Projekten wie z.B. einer VolkskĂŒche.

Dies wird durch internen und externen Austausch und durch Begleitung der beiden erfahrenen Trainerinnen Anisha Imhasly und Aurélie de Lalande möglich. Es werden Tools erarbeitet, welche im Alltag in schwierigen Situationen direkt eingesetzt werden können.

Alle weiteren Infos zum Projekt findest du auf unserer Webseite. Link in der Bio.

☀Today we present the project we are supporting at the Theater Chur:

“MAKING PEACE”
House peace and the path to democratic participation at Theater Chur

Modern operating structures are set to be established at Theater Chur. The theatre management and team are seeking to find collaborative methods for internal and external positioning that are future-oriented and appropriate to the modern tasks and needs of a theatre company such as Theater Chur.

Its vision is to achieve peace through action. First as a team, then as an institution before taking it out into the city with artistic projects such as a people’s kitchen.

This is made possible by internal and external exchanges and the support of two experienced coaches: Anisha Imhasly and Aurélie de Lalande. Tools are being developed that can be used directly in difficult situations in everyday life..
