(LanZe) is a central umbrella organization for the Free Performing Arts, amateur theater, school theater, and theater education in Sachsen-Anhalt. Founded in 1991, LanZe has developed into an indispensable partner for cultural education and the promotion of the performing arts in the region.

    LanZe offers a wide range of services and programs aimed at supporting and professionalizing the actors of the Free Performing Arts. The main activities include:

    • Further Education and Professionalization: LanZe provides comprehensive further education programs, workshops, and seminars that strengthen the artistic, educational, and organizational skills of the participants. A well-developed curriculum and examination regulations ensure a structured and high-quality education[3][4].

    The main mission of LanZe is to establish the performing arts as an integral part of everyday life and to make them accessible to everyone, regardless of background, family, or financial means. LanZe is committed to ensuring that cultural education is anchored in schools and that art can be experienced and shaped in schools[4].

    Sustainability Goals and Initiatives

    LanZe is engaged in various sustainable initiatives to promote cultural education and the performing arts in the long term:

    • Protection from Violence: LanZe has made the protection of children and young people from (sexualized) violence an important issue. The play “Trau Dich!” is an example of this initiative, which aims at empowering young people and cultural participation[3].

    • Cultural Participation: Through nationwide cooperation projects and networking with the nationwide cooperation network Theater and School (TUSCH), LanZe ensures cultural participation for all age groups and types of schools[3][4].

    • Quality Control and Project Sponsorship: LanZe takes over project management, quality assurance, and financing of the projects to ensure sustainable and high-quality implementation[3].
