From the theatre workshop: Preparations for the summer theatre

Finally, the Stetten Summer Theatre is allowed to present the poster for this year's play "Zukunftsmusik- Ein Theaterspiel über das Morgen".

At an art workshop with Fridingen artist and author Jeremias Heppeler, 14 pupils from the community school gave free rein to their creativity:

From 8.1 Laura Fischer, Lenja Bücheler, Anastasia Leuter
From 8.2 Dzevahira Berisa, Amelie Conzelmann, Klara Fiebig
From 7.2 Simon Horn, Marika Vedelina, Emely Weippert
From 5.1 Katharina Fetter, Laura Chenaux, Alicja Luc, Lena Siber
As well as class 4b

"Since this year's Stetten Summer Theatre is looking to the future for the first time, I thought that we should address those who are most concerned about the future - children and young people. At first I thought of a competition for the poster. But in an exchange with Jeremias, it quickly became clear that a collage would also be cool, where you can see as many pupils as possible working," says Ms Gscheidle, who herself plays in the summer theatre and is part of the organising team.

At the workshop, Heppeler gave an insight into the theme of the summer theatre, talked to the pupils about their ideas for the future and then accompanied them in the creative process to the motif of the possible poster for the Stetten summer theatre.

14 young people worked in groups for over 4 hours with iPads, coloured pencils and tempera colours and presented surprising results.

"We were a bit nervous today because we didn't know whether the idea of the project would work out. But we are completely positively surprised! Unfortunately, time was a bit tight, but the poster will definitely be good," Jeremias Heppeler sums up at the end. The pupils Laura and Anastasia also thought the workshop was good: "We actually imagined it quite differently today. That we would all paint a picture together today. And now everyone paints their own. But we think it's so much better. You let your creativity run free and it's a lot of fun and I think you learn a lot of things.

The individual works from the workshop were special in the end, but putting them together into a poster was not so easy after all. "We want to display the students' pictures at the performances," explains Ms Gscheidle. "But for a real eye-catcher, we were missing an important detail on the poster." That's why the kids from class 4b were also allowed to contribute their part to the poster in art class with Mrs Gscheidle.

The fourth graders had the task of drawing a musician on a broken, overgrown car. What does this mean? The solution can be found at the Stetten Summer Theatre - we can look forward to it!

14-30 July in the castle courtyard in Stetten a.k.M.
