Open Space Projektanmeldung

Seit den Ferienkursen 2010 ist der Open Space fester Bestandteil des Akademieprogramms und hat sich gerade in den letzten Jahren zu einer Art „Fringe festival“ entwickelt: Die Kursteilnehmer:innen, Dozent:innen und Gäste haben diesen Raum für Eigeninitiative, öffentlichen Gedankenaustausch und selbstorganisierten Wissenstransfer extensiv genutzt, um ihre Projekte, Ideen, Konzepte, Texte und „ihre“ Musik mit anderen zu teilen.

Die Räume des Open Space auf dem Campus der Ferienkurse stehen allen offen, die Themen zur Debatte stellen, öffentliche Gespräche oder Vorträge organisieren, Filme zeigen, Musik hören oder andere öffentliche Formate initiieren wollen. Der Open Space versteht sich als autonomer öffentlicher Raum, als Instrument für einen sich selbst regulierenden Erfahrungsaustausch komplementär zum offiziellen Kurs- und Konzertangebot der Darmstädter Ferienkurse.
Ab dem ersten Tag der Ferienkurse können Open Space-Zeiten reserviert werden. Wir möchten aber vorsorglich darauf hinweisen, dass es sich beim Open Space nicht um Räume handelt, die sich für größere Konzertpräsentationen eignen, sondern die eher für kleinere Formate gedacht sind, in denen das persönliche Kennenlernen und der Austausch im Vordergrund stehen.

Manual

OPEN SPACE is a tool for self-organized exchange and knowledge transfer complementary to the official curriculum of the Summer Course. There are three simple rules for using the OS that are meant to facilitate self- organized activities:

  • Don’t leave traces.
  • Make things possible for others.
  • The doer decides, the decider does.

All OS activities are self-organized, that means that there is no staff assigned to the rooms. The organization and realization of activities, the preparation, build-up, usage of equipment and cleanup after the event are the responsibility of the respective initiator(s). If you need support you can find someone from the OS team at the festival office. OS is public, that means that all activities organized within it are publicly announced and accessible to the public. OS is not a private rehearsal or work space.

How to organize a project in the OS (possible from 6 to 19 August 2023 only):

  • Step 1: Choose an OS room with equipment suitable for your project.
  • Step 2: Check the OS Wall Calendar (available from 6 to 19 August 2023 at Lichtenbergschule) for a free slot in the respective OS room.
  • Step 3: Inscribe your project into the OS Wall Calendar.
  • Step 4: Provide the following information (Date, Time (hh:mm–hh:mm), OS Space No., Name, Title, Short Desciption, Language and Contact Information) via our online form. The total time includes time for set-up and clean-up!

IMPORTANT

We need your inscription by ⏰ 4 pm the day before your project. Otherwise it cannot be announced properly. Please keep us informed about changes or in case you cancel your project!
Please make sure early enough that all technical devices in the room are working.
Your project will be made public in the OS online calendar. Please, take care of your audience: spread the word, invite people to join your project. If you want to make changes, check the OS Wall Calendar, inform the OS coordinator and e-mail openspace@darmstaedter-ferienkurse.de
