Careers initiative at Stage|Set|Scenery
- Details
Germany - Technically oriented theatre, film and event careers are wíde-ranging and creative. This is something that the international trade show and conference Stage|Set|Scenery, which will take place from 20-22 June in Berlin, aims to take into account by organising a special programme for young professionals. The reason is a decline in young people learning technical skills, which has led to growing competition on the home and international employment market. This is where Stage|Set|Scenery will seize the opportunity to promote a dialogue between cultural institutions and the employees of the future.
Business colleges, universities and other professional training institutions will be represented in Hall 23. They include Akademie der Österreichischen Theatertechnischen Gesellschaft, Berufliche Schule Holz. Farbe. Textil, Beuth Hochschule für Technik in Berlin, DEAplus, DHBW Ravensburg, Hochschule für Bildende Künste Dresden, IECA Internationale Event- & Congress Akademie, the New Design University St. Pölten, Theaterakademie August Everding Studiengang Maskenbild – Theater und Film, as well as Oberstufenzentrum für Gestaltung, Wilhelm-Ostwald-Schule, whose trainees will paint a scene for the stage live in Hall 23.
Next door in Hall 22, on the stage area of A. Haussmann Theaterbedarf GmbH, interested trade visitors can try out their own skills with a brush. In the same hall international associations and institutions will provide information about career opportunities in Germany and abroad. In addition to personal career advice, talented young people will also find a job wall offering vacancies. By visiting the Stage|Set|Scenery Virtual Market Place at www.virtualmarket.stage-set-scenery.comthey can also submit their job applications and ask for appointments with interested companies ahead of the fair.
The Anatomical Theatre developed by DTHG based on designs by Hochschule für Bildende Künste Dresden, and supported by cast, ETC and Lichtblick, will provide Stage|Set|Scenery with a location for holding numerous training courses for students of all ages, newcomers and professionals.
Following the successful debut of the Weltenbauer.Award a new event will be taking place at Stage|Set|Scenery: the Weltenbauer Youngsters.Awards. 150 years ago the opera Roméo et Juliette was first performed by Charles Gounod on 27 April 1867. It is with this event in mind that an assignment will be given to the contestants of the Weltenbauer.Youngsters.Awards: www.weltenbauer.global. The deadline for entries is 30 March 2017. The winners will be honoured at the presentation of the Weltenbauer.Youngsters.Awards in the Palais am Funkturm on 20 June 2017.
Admission is free for school classes, groups of students and accompanying teachers and lecturers. To obtain a free ticket registration is required in writing no later than 1 June 2017 by emailing stage-set-scenery@messe-berlin.de.
