TALK: a 2025 curatorial experiment
For the 2025 edition of aua, there are the same and the extraordinary, the second of which is the collaboration with Dan Daw & Liz Counsell from Dan Daw Creative Projects (DDCP). As co-curators, the two of them, together with aua co-director Nicolette Kretz, did shape the programme for the first and only time, as a curatorial experiment. DDCP is a theatre and performance company from England, run by disabled artists, that plays a pioneering role in creating accessible productions and events.
The talk reports on the attempt to continue and deepen the relationship between artists and organizers by working together as equals over the course of an entire year. It is about the softening of gatekeeper positions, trust in expertise - and certainly also about queerness, cripness and sexiness!
Easy Read
A talk is a conversation between experts. The topic of conversation here: Selecting the theatre programme. Normally, two people from the aua team select the theatre programme. This year was different. Two artists helped with the selection this year: Dan Daw and Liz Counsell. They are very committed to disabled people and artists. Nicolette Kretz is the third person. She is the director of auawirleben and invited the two of them.
