Network

Do you see yourself as a protagonist of artistic production in the independent performing arts? Then you can become a member of our association as an individual or with your organization at any time. We do not distinguish between active or passive, regular or institutional members. Everyone is an equal member of the association.

In addition to participating in the members’ assembly, you are also welcome to get involved in our open working groups. These working groups are organized online via the tool Slack. If you are a member and would like to get access to our Slack channel and an overview of the working groups: Simply mail to us via our contact form or visit one of our online onboarding sessions.

In our association statutes, we define the purpose to which we are committed and the projects with which we pursue this purpose. We also describe in detail how the association's activities are structured and which bodies are part of it. The board of the association currently consists of three persons: béla bisom, theresa heußen and aliki schäfer.

You can see our current statutes here (in German).

As part of our association you have a voice within our general association meetings and assemblies. In this way, you support our association ideally and help shape it internally. How far you want to get involved beyond that, e.g. in our working groups, is up to you. Currently, we are thinking about a solidary, graduated membership fee, which can be freely chosen by each member, in order to cover our fixed costs (e.g. domain, hosting, zoom, board liability) in the long run and independent of funding periods.

The network activities are accompanied by three coordinators. We deliberately do not see the coordination team as a management body, but rather as an overview and communication body within and outside the network.
