The presentation of the new funding system for dance and theatre landscape in Zurich yesterday in the town house began with a congratulations For the invitation to the Berlin theatre 2019 congratulated city President Corine Mauch (SP) Thom Luz, Creator of the “Girl From the Fog Machine Factory,” premiered at the Gessnerallee, and the Schauspielhaus as a co-producer of the “Endless Fun”.
To ensure that this remains so, shall submit to the city for all dance and theatre actors – Ensemble – houses, Free and co-production houses – a new funding approach to provide with competitive controls for quality assurance and a “new thrust” with an “increased permeability”.
“Tradition and Innovation”
The concept according to Mauch, a “balance between Innovation and Tradition” by a System that was created for the next 20 years and revive, where inertia exists, or gaps exist. Two years, one has worked on it, now it has been the city Council approved, and the municipal Council is required. The selective political instrumentalisation of dance and theatre would finally be a thing of the past, said Mauch.
The ten stages, the subsidies are so far approved every four years by the municipal Council must strive, starting in 2022, a “concept promotion” – as well as the independent groups and artists. Include the “Flex houses” Dance in the Theater winkelwiese, Zurich, the Rigiblick, Hora, Miller’s, purple, Stok, Keller62, and Zurich. The 3.1 million Swiss francs for their subsidy would be attributed to the “flexible part” of the new system.
the Bottom line is that there is an increased demand of 3.4 million
francs per year remains.
Also, the free credit that flowed so far on the recommendations of the theatre and dance Commission large part in projects of the independent scene, is a partial step in this pot associated with it. A chunk comes from a grant rededication: 2 percent of the municipal operating contributions for the Schauspielhaus (700 000 Swiss francs), Neumarkt (90 000 francs), and pike place-Theater (32 000 Swiss francs). Thus, the “flexible part” has the target of 6 million Swiss francs, for the award of a forward yet to be determined at the end of the five-member Jury, all six years of recommendations to the Department of Presidential Affairs, in addition to 1.1 million Swiss francs to approve.
in Short: It is not saved on the money for dance and theatre, on the contrary. You want to grab the free groups with production professionals under the arms (200 000 francs per year), as well as a unkuratierten, low-threshold-to-access room for newcomers to offer (250 000 francs per year). In addition, with the creation of a children-and-youth-dance-and-theatre-house (KJTT-house) finally got a gap. Such an estimate is a great need in Zurich, said culture Director Peter Haerle.
the Bottom line is that there is an increased demand of 3.4 million Swiss francs per year. A contribution made by the city Council in a dynamic, future-oriented dance and theater life is to be willing to invest.
Soon two homes less?
Nevertheless, the scene responds critically: A total budget for the dance and theater landscape of 62.1 million Swiss francs a year (instead of the 58.7 million) was good. But the “Flexible” would be exposed to fierce competition, while the today, unlimited subsidised institutions – the theatre, the Neumarkt, Gessnerallee, dance, house, factory theatre, pike place, the theatre of spectacle to be tangent to as a “continuous part” of the promotion. The Gessnerallee does not receive additional funds for co-productions with Local.
according to a leaked urban working paper had played in 2015 with the Option to merge the Neumarkt and gessnerallee. Haerle explained: Behind the permanent houses, the front hand would decide for indisputable people. In addition, selection would be appreciated Yes. Currently, 50 projects were supported, had planned 47. We also reckon with the socially acceptable removal of two houses (17); a parachute is in the planning stage. More groups to come to the train.
About the definitive introduction of the new conveyor elements will the Council advise when the concept of promotion and of the house for children and young people, the Voters are asked.
