netzzeit
netzzeit is a tool to produce musical theatre in its broadest sense. We do not possess any immovable property, as theatre never should be immobile. In the begining there is an idea. To take shape, this idea needs space, people, sometimes the same as before, sometimes different ones. This is, what we are open for, open for sustainability, - - but just as well - for change.
We opted in 1984 for the name "netzzeit", because we were fascinated by people, who realised the chances of interdisciplinarian projects supported by the fast developing networking of internet. We had an idea of how these possibilities will change the world and - therewith - art. And so it happened.
Today, out of this revolutionary project of european straightness, called world wide web, emerges the cognition, how labyrintic and full of meanders the intensity of human consciousness is proceeding. By stirring up longing and curiousity for ambivalence and the joy for accuracy and by mediating technical virtuosity (as both are necessary to make the play and ambivalence on theatre grow wings), we feel to be global nomads, who want to make the beauty of life sound in people´s hearts.
netzzeit is led by the artistic directors Nora and Michael Scheidl. It is a non - profit association, which is supported by the department for cultural affairs of the city of Vienna since 27 years, equipped with the comission to produce theatre, which is not taking place in the conventional area of the art, whatever the reasons for this may be.
Further essential support for this difficult task is given by expeditor Corinne Schweizer and an artistic board with its members Ingrid Karl, Angelika Möser, Ilse Schneider, Laura Berman, H.K. Gruber and Alfred Wopmann.
Moreover since 2000 netzzeit succeeded in realising its projects more and more in cooperation with national and international partners. So in 2006 international investment took up to 43% of the whole volume. In 2004 and 2005 netzzeit collected its Viennese activities within a festival for New Music Theatre under the title "Out of Control", that is performed biannually, since 2005. |
