In the week of November 16-19, ZW celebrates its first anniversary with a festival. In addition to regular, set program points, we create space for trying out and experimenting.
Be it a workshop, an info booth, a performance, a mini-concert, or something for which there is no term at all yet. Surprise us with your input, overwhelm us with your concepts.
There are three possible settings:
the stage; a small, classical stage situation with the possibility of audio playback and lighting.
the in-between space; fluid happening taking place at some point during the festival without the possibility of audio playback and lighting, but practically the whole ZW can be used!
Clubstage; During the club night on Saturday there will be a small stage in the club for performances. No possibility for audio playback, the stage can be illuminated.
Contact us with a small sketch of your idea and your preferred time at info@zentralwaescherei.space until 23.09.2022. We will invite you to discuss further details about the implementation and the general conditions with us. In advance, we can support certain financially. :-)
We are advertising positions. All positions are to be filled as of February 1, 2023. We gladly accept your application until September 15, 2022 at bewerben@zentralwaescherei.space. We are looking forward to it!
