Moritz Gnann

Staatstheater Kassel

What exactly does a director do? At the "Mittendrin" workshop on March 6th and 7th, Olivia Müller-Elmau, director of the production SCHAMPARADIES and assistant director at the theater, will offer insights into the profession of directing. Using the production SCHAMPARADIES as a case study, you'll gain an overview of the various phases of directing at the city and state theater: developing a directorial concept, collaborating with set design, costumes, and music, and rehearsing with actors. And because practice is better than theory, the workshop will also put you in the role of a director: How can you develop an idea based on a short scene? Which theatrical techniques help in realizing your idea? And how can you guide actors to bring their vision to life on stage?

Right in the thick of it, not just a bystander

We are once again guests at the Ballhaus this year. GMD Ainārs Rubiķis is pleased to continue the tradition of previous seasons.

Concert at the Ballhaus

We are convinced that humans need music like they need air to breathe. In the 7th symphony concert, Moritz Gnann returns to the podium of the State Orchestra after his successful Kassel opera debut last season. This time he dedicates himself to works that explore the forces of nature – from storms and thunderstorms to the atmospheric lightness of the air.
