11THEATERCOMPANY
Theater festivals and projects in Europe by the #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, in 2013 we decided 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 festivals are truly limitless!


In 2021, we thought it would be great if our theatre could offer something special during the theatre off-season. 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 valuable 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 nine wonderful days – amazing performances, a professional jury, a great atmosphere, “master classes” led by professionals, new theatre friends from different countries, and simply a great festival organization by the unreal incredible #theater11bremen team. It was an unforgettable start to the year, we hope come back here soon!

I was very impressed by the trip to Germany! Along with 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 of my life!

The #FutureForKidsFest in Bremen is simply great! It’s my first time at such a nice, cozy, unpretentious festival. Everyone is very open and friendly. We had super tasty food, and we lived right on the banks of the Weser, next to the theatre where the festival took place. I really enjoyed the performance "Autsch!" by Theater 11. I will never forget it! It was so cool! Overall, I'm full 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.
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 offers a week of intensive workshops in the main core disciplines of theatre: acting, rhetoric, singing, stage movement and more. Every year, new pedagogues teach the participants. The academy includes not only workshops, but also laboratories, seminars and creative meetings. The first academy was held in 2018. Since 2022, the academy has taken place in Spain on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
The academy is open to theater groups and individual performers who want to level 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 they don't want to go home after our festival, we know once again that we did everything right.
The first Future For Kids Fest took place in 2016 and has been held annually since then. The only 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 was held online in 2021. This was our first experience of running a festival in this format. A total of 140 applications were submitted, and after selection, 12 theatres 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 restrictions on genre or form. We love to see creative young actors who truly enjoy what they do! Since 2023, the festival has taken place in Spain, on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.

KULTURONTOUR
International theatre festival for amateur theatres.
BREMEN, GERMANY.
With our festival, we continue to prove that a theatre does not need 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, which means that every theatre has an excellent opportunity to fly to Germany right after New Year's Eve and enjoy the festival for a whole week. This festival becomes cooler every year – even we don't expect it ourselves. It now takes place in the main theatre of Bremen, THEATER BREMEN. In addition to performances and encounters, workshops are organised by various theatre educators, including the directors of the participating theatres and members of the jury. Without exception, the jury members of the children's and youth festivals are exclusively professionals.
Theatres whose artists are between 16 and 30 years old can take part in the festival. The performances selected for participation have no restrictions on genre or form.

KIT FEST
International festival of inclusive theatres.
BREMEN, 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 whose artists with special needs perform on stage alongside non-disabled actors. It doesn't matter what you look like or how you speak, as long as you are really talented. Theatre is an art form for everyone.

TERRITORIUM11
International creative summer camp for children.
It did not feel right to be creatively involved only during the “school year”. We decided that in the summer – during the off-season – we should also do something creative.
The children's creative camp TERRITORIUM11 is a great opportunity to relax and continue developing. In addition, no special qualifications are required to join summer camp. If your child has long wanted to try their hand at art, this can be done by visiting the camp. The perfect opportunity! In the camp, children not only take part in acting and theatre disciplines, but also simply have a great time: doing sports, drawing, hiking and enjoying many other interesting activities. As our parents always said: "Anything is better than sitting at home and watching TV!"

INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTARY SERVICE
An opportunity not to be missed.
BREMEN, GERMANY.
Let's be honest. How many times have you thought: “How nice would it be to live in another country right now?”
THIS IS THE CHANCE!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Every year we offer a traineeship to people from all over the world: to become part of the #theater11bremen team and to live in Germany. We are always looking for responsible, strong, charming people with sparkling eyes and full of passion – people who want to help us realise our projects. Of course, this is a creative field, but alongside acting there is also a lot of hard work. Volunteers should be ready for backstage work as well. In addition to the glory in front of the stage lights, everyday tasks are just as important as the Stanislavski system.
Applicants must only be between 18 and 30 years old. Accommodation and a monthly grant are provided. The invitation to Germany is for a calendar year – but if we really fall in love with working, we could continue to work together collaboration might continue.
