Das Bühnenlabor: DisAbility on Stage versteht sich als ein Pilotprojekt, um die Teilhabe von Menschen mit Behinderungen an der Tanz- und Theaterausbidlung in der Schweiz zu fördern.
The stage lab DisAbility on Stage is a pilot project which aims to promote the participation of people with a disability in dance and theatre training in Switzerland. The focus lies on two model collaborations: the Masters in Movement Theatre at the Accademia Teatro Dimitri in Verscio, in collaboration with the dance company Teatro Danzabile from Ticino (Stage Lab 1), and the Bachelors degree in Contemporary Dance at Zurich University of the Arts, in collaboration with BewegGrund in Berne and Danzabile in Ticino (Stage Lab 2). The aim is to develop skills at the crossroads between training practices, the theatre and dance scene, presenting productions by and with people with a disability as well as practice-based research at arts universities.
After that, the artistic and academic results will be shared with a wider audience within the festivals under the umbrella of IntegrART.
The stage lab is linked to the three-year SNSF-research project DisAbility on Stage (2015–2018):
