11THEATERCOMPANY
Theater festivals and projects in Europe by #theater11bremen team
ABOUT

Hello! We are the #theater11bremen team from Bremen, Germany. Our theatre turned 15 in 2024. One day, we realized that one theatre was not enough for us, so we decided to invite other theatres from around the world to join us.

With this idea in mind, we decided in 2013 to organize our own international youth theatre festival, KulturOnTour, and invite other young talents. After a short period of time, we noticed that not only youth theatres were interested in visiting us, but also children's theatres. This led us to organize a children's theatre festival as well. That's how our festival for children, FutureForKidsFest, came to life. A few years ago, as part of a new project, our theatre academy (laboratory), ETAK, was established. The ETAK Academy has an educational focus. Young actors attend the academy to hone and develop their acting skills with the help of professional pedagogues from Europe, Russia, Belarus, and other countries.

Every year, theatre groups from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Ukraine, Spain, France, Russia, Belarus, and many other countries around the world take part in our festivals. Our festival is truly limitless!


In 2021, we thought it would be great if our theatre could offer something special during the theatre offseason. What about a creative summer camp? Bingo! This is how TERRITORIUM11 came about. It is a children's summer camp featuring creative workshops in all theatrical disciplines and related creative fields (applied arts, makeup, costumes, etc.). Starting in 2024, our projects will also include an inclusive theatre festival, #KITFEST.


With our theatre team, we have visited numerous festivals in Europe, Russia, Ukraine and other countries. We have absorbed every good detail to make our projects an unforgettable experience for participants and guests, without compromising the professionalism of the organization or the art of theatre.

We’ve just experienced wonderful 9 days - wonderful performances, a professional jury, a great atmosphere, “master classes” by professionals, new theatre friends from different countries, simply a great organization of the festival by the unreal #theater11bremen. It was an unforgettable start to the year, we hope to be able to come back here soon!

I was very impressed by the trip to Germany! In addition to the boundless beauty of the city of Bremen and the delicious food, there were wonderful people - I mean the organizers and participants of the festival. We all fell in love with all these people who were ready to do anything to make the festival better at any time and any second. It was one of the most beautiful holidays in my life!

The #FutureForKidsFest in Bremen is simply great! This is my first time at such a nice and cozy festival that is not pathetic. Everyone is very open and friendly. We had very tasty food, we lived right on the banks of the Weser, next to the theatre where the festival was taking place. I really enjoyed the performance "Autsch!" by Theater 11. I will never forget it! It was so cool! In general, I have a huge amount of impressions. Thanks to the #theater11bremen team. You are really really cool!

ЕТАК
Theatre academy/laboratory.
TORREVIEJA, SPAIN.
It's never too late to learn the art of acting and it doesn't matter in which country in the world. Although, of course, it's more interesting in Europe.
The international theatre academy ETAK is a week of intensive workshops in the main disciplines of theatre: acting, rhetoric, singing, stage movement and others. Every year new pedagogues teach the participants. The academy includes not only workshops, but also laboratories, seminars and creative meetings. The first academy took place in 2018. From 2022, the academy takes place in Spain on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
The academy is open to theater groups and individual performers who want to pump up their skills.

FUTURE FOR KIDS FEST
International children's theatre festival for children’s and youth collectives.
VALENCIA, SPAIN.
Children can't be fooled. If children don't want to go home after our festival, we are once again convinced that we did everything right.
The first festival for children's theatre Future For Kids Fest took place in 2016. It has been held annually since then. The exception was in 2020 when the pandemic didn't give us a chance to meet old friends and make new ones in Bremen. The festival took place online in 2021. This was our first experience of running a festival in this format. 140 applications were submitted for the festival, and once selected, 12 theaters from different countries around the world made it to the finals. Theatres whose actors are between 7 and 17 years old can take part in the festival. The performances selected for participation have no genre or form restrictions. We love to see creative actors who enjoy what they do!
From 2023, the festival takes place in Spain on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
Take part
KULTURONTOUR
International theatre festival for amateur theatres.
BREMEN, GERMANY.
With our festival we continue to prove that a theatre does not have to be professional in order to inspire the audience.
The KULTURONTOUR Festival is our first international project. Hence our favorite. It takes place annually during the New Year holidays. This means that every theatre has an excellent opportunity to fly to Germany straight after New Year's Eve and enjoy the festival there for a week. This festival gets cooler every year - we don't expect it ourselves. Now it takes place in the main theatre of Bremen THEATER BREMEN. In addition to performances and encounters, workshops are organized by various theatre educators, including the directors of the participating theatres and members of the jury. Without exceptions, the jury members of the children's and youth festivals are exclusively professionals.
Theaters whose artists are between 16 and 30 years old can take part in the festival. The performances selected for participation have no genre or form restrictions.
Take part
KIT FEST
International festival of inclusive theatres.
OLDENBURG, GERMANY.
Theatre is a unique art form that has a place for everyone who truly loves it.
The Inclusive Theatre Festival was created for theatre teams with artists with special needs on stage alongside regular actors. It doesn't matter what you look like or how you talk, as long as you are really talented. Theatre is an art for everyone.
Take part
TERRITORIUM11
International creative summer camp for children.
It did not sit right with us to be creatively involved only in the context of the “school year”. We decided that in the summer, in the off-season, we also have to do something creative.
The children's creative camp TERRITORIUM11 is a great opportunity to relax and develop further. In addition, no qualifications are required for the summer camp. If your child has wanted to try their hand at art for a long time, this can be done by visiting the camp. The perfect opportunity! There, children not only engage in acting and theatre disciplines, but also simply have a great time doing sports, drawing, hiking and other interesting activities. Like our parents have always said: "Anything is better than sitting around at home and watching TV!"
Take part
INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTARY SERVICE
An opportunity not to be missed.
BREMEN, GERMANY.
Let's be honest. How often have you thought: “How nice would it be to live in another country now?”
THIS IS THE CHANCE!
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Every year we offer a traineeship for people from all over the world: to become part of the #theater11bremen team and to live in Germany. We always need responsible, strong, charming people with sparkling eyes and full of passion to help us realise our projects. This is of course a creative area, but in addition to acting, there is also a lot of hard work, so the volunteers should get ready for work behind the scenes. In addition to the glory in front of the headlights, everyday issues are just as important as the Stanislavski system.
Applicants must only be between 18 and 30 years old. Accommodation and grants are provided. An invitation to Germany for a calendar year, but if we really fall in love, we could continue to work together.
