OPEN CALL: WIENER WORTSTAETTEN Drama Lab 2024
as part of „Fabulamundi. Playwriting Europe. New Voices“
The creation of new texts for the stage has been the focus of the WIENER WORTSTAETTEN’s work since the beginning, as well as the artistic exploration of socially relevant themes and networking between playwrights.
WIENER WORTSTAETTEN is calling for applications for five so-called workplaces for the Drama Lab 2024.
This model of cooperation with authors includes a contract for work amounting to € 3,000 as well as dramaturgical support for the period of one year. Furthermore, regular working meetings of all selected authors as well as individual and group readings. Any travel expenses will be covered by the WIENER WORTSTAETTEN or its cooperation partners.
In addition, the Theater am Werk will accompany the creation of the texts as a ” Patentheater” and premiere one play in the 2024/25 season.
All the texts created will be presented in staged readings in Vienna as part of the “Wortstattnächte” in autumn 2024.
Application
The application process is anonymous. Individual playwrights as well as teams and collectives can apply. Multilingualism within the texts is possible, however, the working language of the Drama Lab is German.
