International Women’s* Theatre Festival (IF*TF) of Frankfurt
PROTAGON - FREUNDE UND FOERDERER FREIER THEATERAKTION
Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany
Description
This volunteering activity only addresses female* volunteers. The International Women’s* Theatre Festival (IF*TF) is a one week festival dedicated to women*. It has a feminist and collective approach, with the aim to bring artistic works made by women* to the stage in a framework of solidarity and thus to increase their visibility in the performing arts. Bárbara Luci Carvalho, the artistic director of the festival, is a member of The Magdalena Project, an international network of women* in contemporary theatre. The asterisk (*) stands in German for people who define themselves as female. Which gender identity or sexuality a person ascribes to themselves is just as much a part of the feminist empowerment process as the promotion of people regardless of their origin, religion or age. Volunteers will help to build up/down the festival, as well as participating in the maintenance of the community.
