TUBS-Players: English Theatre Group – 4412 324
Mi 19:00 – 21:00, BBB (Online)
First Meeting: 03.11.2021 (via Big Blue Button)
The theatre group of the Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik, the TUBS-Players, has been
producing plays for more than 20 years. We aim to provide quality entertainment in English
for students of the TU as well as secondary schools and the general public. Any students
(also from other faculties) who are interested in joining the group, whether on stage or back-
stage, are welcome to join us.
Acting in English gives students an excellent opportunity to improve their language proficien-
cies and to deepen their interpretative skills in our discussion rounds. The projects help dis-
cuss, apply and creatively engage with knowledge acquired in all fields of English Studies:
literary/cultural studies, linguistics, didactics, and language skills. Additionally, the students
will be introduced to theoretical concepts of performance such as voice, body language,
movement analysis (Laban), theatre space, composition/choreography as well as costume
and set design. Furthermore, participants will get the opportunity to experience and partici-
pate in the making of larger scale cultural events by contributing to such project groups as
public relations, programme, finances and backstage management. One of the project
groups focusses specifically on creating workshops and preparatory material for schools.
Acting experience is not necessary. Rehearsals and workshops are usually held once or
twice a week in the evenings online via Big Blue Button. We shall use our online meetings
to find new ways of digital theatre.
Our projects of the upcoming terms include:
1) NEW PROJECT:
A Midsummer Night’s Online Stream: Shakespeare’s classic performed as a Video
Conference mixed with other participatory digital formats into a transmedia storytelling
experience
2) “Shakespeare@School”
Part of our Transmedia Storytelling project: A Midsummer Night’s Online Stream
will be created specifically for classroom engagement.
Newcomers are welcome!! For more information please contact Dr. Maria Marcsek-Fuchs
(m.marcsek@tu-bs.de) or just come by our first meeting.
