SÜDUFER

DANCE – THEATRE – PERFORMANCE

Venue of the Freiburg Independent Scene

The SÜDUFER venue offers professional Freiburg artists and collectives space, regardless of the form, to temporarily try out, experiment, explore a style and try themselves out. In addition to artist residencies, the implementation of the “TanzPakt” and artistic research, the SÜDUFER offers a platform for productions, workshops, as a rehearsal space and for the youth art parkour. Under the direction of the E-WERK Freiburg, the SÜDUFER is intended to stimulate an open process of research and artistic exchange and to encourage and support artists to deal with central questions of their own artistic work and beyond in their work.

HOMEPAGE

Der Schopf 2 ist ein lebendiger Ort für die freie Szene – ein Raum, der künstlerische Prozesse sichtbar macht und zur aktiven Auseinandersetzung einlädt. Mit rund 80 Veranstaltungen pro Jahr bietet Schopf 2 ein vielfältiges Programm aus Theater, Literatur, Tanz, Performance, Ausstellungen und Konzerten.

Wir verstehen uns als Labor für experimentelle, interdisziplinäre Kunstprojekte, die die Besonderheiten des Gebäudes und seines Umfelds – ein kreatives Quartier mit Ateliers und Werkstätten – mitdenken und einbeziehen. Künstler*innen sind eingeladen, neue Formate zu entwickeln, spartenübergreifend zu arbeiten und den Raum als offene Bühne für künstlerische Forschung zu nutzen.

Schopf 2 vernetzt sich aktiv mit anderen Spielstätten, Kulturschaffenden und Communities – lokal wie international. Immer wieder binden wir neue Künstler*innen in unsere Projekte ein und schaffen Resonanzräume für globale Kulturen: mit Lesungen, Diskussionen, Performances und partizipativen Formaten, die gesellschaftliche Themen aufgreifen und kreative Impulse setzen.
