Ingolstadt City Theater Renews Cultural Education Partnership with Eleven Local Schools
In a significant move to foster cultural education and artistic development, the Ingolstadt City Theater has renewed its partnership with eleven local schools. The renewal agreements were signed by Dr. Matthias Schickel, Iris Jamnitzky, and Oliver Brunner on July 28.
The collaborative efforts between the City Theater and these schools aim to provide annual cultural education opportunities for students. Under this partnership, students will have the chance to attend a performance at the Ingolstadt City Theater once a year, allowing them to become acquainted with various theatrical forms and venues over three years.
Julia Mayr, head of the Young Theater, emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating, "Education doesn't stop at the classroom door." She further added, "Theater is a place for reflection, feeling, and understanding, where young people can actively participate in art and culture, express themselves, develop empathy, and strengthen creativity, teamwork, and social skills through group play."
The Katharinen-Gymnasium and the Christoph-Scheiner-Gymnasium are among the schools that have already been collaborating with the Ingolstadt City Theater. However, this renewed partnership is set to expand the reach of the City Theater's educational programs to numerous other schools of all types, such as the Christoph-Columbus-Grundschule, the Antonschule, the Sir-William-Herschel-Mittelschule, the Mittelschule an der Schanz, the Gotthold-Ephraim-Lessing-Mittelschule, the Montessorischule Ingolstadt, the Tilly-Realschule, Wirtschaftsschule, and the Reuchlin-Gymnasium.
To support this goal, the Ingolstadt City Theater offers a comprehensive, age-appropriate program. This includes pre- and post-workshops for productions, behind-the-scenes theater tours, discussions with participants, and information events about theater professions for career-oriented classes. Furthermore, theater educators support in-house theater projects, theater clubs, and regularly offer professional development for teachers.
The "Get Involved" and artistic mediation department of the Ingolstadt City Theater develops accompanying formats for school classes and teachers. These formats are designed to enhance the learning experience and deepen the understanding of theatrical performances.
Collaboration between schools and theaters is crucial for the development of young people. This partnership between the Ingolstadt City Theater and the eleven cooperating schools reaffirms their joint commitment to cultural education and the sustainable integration of theater in the school education landscape.
