Aims

ProdArt is an association of contemporary dance and theater makers, media and digital performance art practitioners and interested individuals whose aim is to bring together international professional artists and explore their relationship to working with and by people with special challenges (in terms of diversity, ability, cultural background, special circumstances, disabilities, etc.).

We want to use, accept, develop and transform the artistic flow resulting from this exploration and incorporate it into an active production process.

For us, diversity is the great creative opportunity of our time and our commitment is to strengthen it. We look for, research and contrast different cultural and socio-political approaches so that the resulting work not only represents the aesthetic use on stage, but also promotes the necessary socio-political and socio-political implementations so that INCLUSION does not just remain a need or wish, but can be lived.

The association sees diversity as a guiding principle for social and individual action. Diversity does not require the individual to adapt, but promotes the opening up of society – and thus a basic attitude that recognizes each person as valuable due to their individual characteristics and abilities.

With its work, the ProdArt association aims to create favorable framework conditions for living, learning and working together and focuses on the equal participation of people with mental, physical, psychological and sensory impairments and / or chronic diseases as well as different cultural origins and sexual orientation in social, cultural and artistic life. The work of the association is thus in accordance with the UN Disability Rights Convention and the European Convention on Human Rights.

ProdArt aims to develop and share effective methods that facilitate and improve access to art for people with disabilities and in special circumstances. Our aim is to support artists by developing cultural projects and strategies. Another task is to strengthen Talentente through training, workshops and courses, to promote young talent and to open up opportunities for a strong network of international laboratories. Our mission is to explore and share best practices for access to art and to make the work of concerned artists visible.

The focus of ProdArt productions is on professional quality, with artworks that culminate in a masterful creative process and are designed for an international audience. Always on the lookout for a new, innovative and exponentially integrative approach. We form multidisciplinary teams with experts from all artistic fields, writers and playwrights as well as experts on accessibility issues and disabled artists in special circumstances with an international reach. The aim of this type of work is always to share what has been learned, to spread it, to build solid bridges in order to continue to grow.

Include to integrate.

In order to promote integration in a cultural and social context, we develop artistic projects, leisure and cultural activities, congresses and symposia to give interested participants the feeling that there is a team here in which they are included and recognized.

Projects with people from migrant backgrounds and diverse groups should serve as an instrument for improving the future prospects of unaccompanied refugees, for example.

Participation and thus a sense of belonging is important to overcome experiences of loss and cultural barriers. This opportunity is particularly evident in cultural and art projects with an integrative focus. Artistic work in an inclusive environment is an excellent way of feeling accepted as a person, of not isolating oneself and often a helpful way of overcoming traumatic experiences.

Each new project offers real opportunities to gain access to culture, education and – subsequently – training and participation in working life and to overcome exclusion. In order for a changed reality of life to be assimilated in a positive and successful way, it is essential that personal values are treated in the sense of a welcoming culture. It is therefore very important for us to treat the cultural heritage of the cultures of origin with respect, to preserve them and to connect them in a common understanding.
