SPECTACT – Verein für politisches und soziales Theater
Das Ziel von spectACT ist es, Theater der Begegnung und der Ermutigung zu machen. Im Theater wird vieles möglich - Situationen werden anschaulich und dadurch begreifbar. Unser Theater soll Menschen eine Stimme geben, sowie ihren Wünschen und Anliegen Ausdruck verleihen. In unserer Arbeit geht es um die Auseinandersetzung mit politischen und sozialen Themen, die uns persönlich und als Gemeinschaft betreffen. Der Ansatz von spectACT lautet: Ich steh auf und misch mich ein. Ich werde aktiv, damit wir gemeinsam etwas bewegen.
Dabei ist und bleibt Theater ästhetische Kunst und wirkt gerade dadurch auf vielfältige Art und Weise. Im Rahmen der Peacestudies bringen wir unsere Erfahrung in Bezug auf Theatermethoden zur Konflikttransformation (Forumtheater, Regenbogen der Wünsche,...) ein. Unsere Referenzen sind hierbei das Theater der Unterdrückten nach Augusto Boal (Er war 2005 als Vortragender zu Gast.) und das Theater zum Leben (www.theatreforliving.com), das auf Boals Methoden aufbaut, von David Diamond. David Diamond war inzwischen mehrere Male Lehrender im Programm. Armin Staffler, der Obmann von spectACT, ist seit Beginn im Jahre 2002 immer wieder als Lehrender oder Referent in Partnerprojekten tätig.
