Unleashing Playfulness: Theater Workshop on 'Rico, Oskar and the Deepshadows'
In the rehearsal room of the Stadttheater Fürth, young theater fans dive into the world of the award-winning novel by Andreas Steinhöfel. The free workshop opens up an intense stage experience: developing characters, improvising scenes, understanding conflicts – and discovering one's own joy of play.
From the Page to the Stage: Making Dramaturgy Tangible
First read, then play: The children's crime story transforms into a lively theater atmosphere. Under guidance, key moments of the plot are translated into clear play tasks. This results in precise staging miniatures where dramaturgy, rhythm, and timing become tangible.
Character Work with Heart and Attitude
How does a stage character become exciting? Through clear goals, conflicts, and physical presence. Participants explore Rico's 'deeply gifted' thinking, Oskar's watchful energy, and the tension between friendship, bravery, and fear. Acting meets empathy – with a mindful focus on body, voice, and space.
Set Design in the Mind: Light, Sound, Costume
Concrete scene images, simple props, conscious lighting moods: The workshop shows how strong images can arise from reduced means. The acoustics of the rehearsal room, the interplay of shadow and light, and small costume impulses sharpen the perception for theater magic.
Context of Staging: From Novel to Modern Stage Classic
The material has been adapted many times – at the Stadttheater Fürth in a current production by Charlotte Van Kerckhoven (Stage & Costumes: Anne Brügel). Steinhöfel's award-winning original shapes the audience's reaction: exciting, humorous, touching – ideal for lively theater education.
Conclusion
What can visitors expect? An intense, playful afternoon that encourages bringing one's own ideas to the stage. Those who attend the performance afterwards will experience the developed motifs in the large staging arc – and compare their own solutions with professional directorial work.
