Text: About the Mentoring Process in South Africa
In 2016, Barbara Kölling and Anna-Sophia Zimniak were invited to Cape Town, South Africa by Magnet Theatre. In a six week workshop funded by the Goethe Institut, 18 young theatre practitioners from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Cameroon, Kenya and Nigeria developed four plays for children from 2 years and up. Barbara Kölling mentored the working process of the four groups for two weeks. In an interview, she describes her experiences from this work.

Film: „Woolgathering“
The short documentary follows the HELIOS ensemble's investigation of the material wool and develops its own cinematographic perspective on the material. The focus is not so much on the development of the performance, but on the relationship between material, artists and audience. The film was created by Stoyan Radoslavov and Damian W. Gorczany.
