Volunteer at a youth theatre

Activity description

BeyondBühne is a place where all young people can develop artistically. You are taken seriously here. You can come as you are. Run free! Since our founding in 2003, we’ve been a stage for the curious. We developed rapidly: The starting 60 members soon turned to several hundred children and youths that create their own personal art through means of theatre, dance and film. Soon we left the Austrian borders behind us: Our network covers over 70 youth theatres in more than 30 countries. Our members regularly travel afar, to work on art projects with others, and we invite youth groups to stay with us. The creative work in our groups is led by academically trained art pedagoges. Many volunteers lend their hand in different fields behind the stage: make-up, costumes, marketing, catering and many more. In addition, we work together with a professional light and sound team. All of them are in it with their whole hearts: Passionately curious! When you join you can try out all these fields.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

We will provide a one-bedroom apartment including a kitchen and a bathroom. There is no washing machine, but you will be able to do your laundry in our studio. The flat is provided with all necessary kitchen tools and furniture. Towels, bed sheets and cleaning supplies are also provided. The flat is completely paid by us (including all extra fees such as Internet). Furthermore, you will receive a monthly bank transfer of €360, which consists of a fixed amount of 6€/day pocket money and the rest for your groceries. As Baden is quite a small town, every place is in walking distance.
