The program, what is the best way to read it?
It is important to us that the voice of the young person (YOUR VOICE) is heard. Therefore, all performances (including FIELD, STAGE) are performances in which the young person’s perspective is given a stage. And in which the mindset stay with the trouble is central.
What is FIELD?
During these days, you can meet, participate and watch. You will watch various performances, where we programme more outspoken and experimental works. These creations are often by young makers, who are currently studying or have just graduated. You can participate through various master classes, and you will meet during our TALK.
What is STAGE?
Within STAGE, you will see performances in which young, non-professional actors play in a professional context. Besides watching STAGE, you can also participate in the STAGE day yourself as a young person! You will then do a master class of your choice and visit 2 performances.
AFTER
On most nights there is an AFTER in the Festival Heart. AFTERS are free to attend, and may include an AFTERPARTY, AFTERTALK, or a performance. We partner with Noordstaat for much of the programming in the Festival Heart. This is the place in the North where upcoming and starting (hip-hop) artists accelerate and grow in their talent.
WORK IN PROGRESS
During Jonge Harten, several performances will be presented that are still in development. Why wait until they are perfect? The beauty often lies in the journey towards it, and it is a waste not to show something. Our mindset is ‘Play around’ for a reason. Let the curiosity begin.
