For young actors

The theater pedagogy of GRIPS offers you the opportunity to get to know our theatre and to express yourselves artistically in different ways and to connect to social debates – on stage and in other places.

Children's rights to play

During the 2026–2028 seasons, children between the ages of 9 and 12 will take it upon themselves to teach others about their rights. To this end, they will explore artistic forms of expression such as theatre, dance and music and use them to develop their own games and methods. This will result in tools that children can use to pass on their knowledge to other children independently, without having to rely on adults. The games and methods will be published in a card set and distributed throughout Germany.

PROPS go out

Adults are always making theater for children. Time for children to make theater for children! That's why children between the ages of 9 and 12 brought a play to the GRIPS stage as part of “PROPS gehen raus” in the 24/25 season, in which they took on responsibility as a production team. They collectively wrote the text, designed the stage and costumes and directed professional (adult) actors and actresses.

U20 Poetry Slam

At the U20 Poetry Slam, the stage is yours. Here you can fulfil yourself on stage and present your lyrics to a larger audience. However, you can also just watch what other young people bring on stage and exchange ideas with them.
