For one week, 25 young people aged 16 to 20 from Salzburg, Salzburg Land, the provinces and Germany took part in the #summercamp23 of the Thomas Bernhard Institute. Some of them had their first stage experience or an acceptance from a drama school, but some were also newcomers to the stage. Together with the lecturers of the Thomas Bernhard Institute, they immersed themselves in the world of theater from July 9-14, with trainings, workshops, acting visits and very different insights into the everyday life of an acting training.
This week also focused on the common things: After a small morning snack, the participants and the lecturers started the everyday stage life with a joint warm-up, after which different workshops were on the program: Improvisation, small scenes, speaking, voice or singing, body and dance exercises or music. What was learned, experienced and worked on was discussed and reflected on in the evening during a joint meal and chill-out. The fact that a young generation of people interested in acting and the Mozarteum University were on the move here could not be overlooked: Time and again, the participants could be seen roaming through Salzburg in small groups with the colorful Mozarteum bags - whether for the coveted rehearsal visit of "Jedermann" at Domplatz or for the performance of "Heidi & the band" by drama students at the Theater im KunstQuartier. A week full of insights and outlooks that shows where education at the Thomas Bernhard Institute can lead.
The #summercamp23 was supported with a lot of commitment by the students, who gave insights into their everyday life and ensured that everything ran smoothly. In a great group dynamic, the young people conquered the stage in their own way. The Thomas Bernhard Institute will definitely remain a positive and lasting memory for all of them.
