In order to manage our work efficiently, we have divided the InnerCircle into working groups. Every member is free to choose in which working group he or she would like to participate in order to make the best possible contribution according to his or her own competences. Or you feel the need to familiarise yourself with new topics.
In that case, too, you are warmly welcome to join any working group. Our work is transparent and team-oriented.
If you are already a member and would like to get more involved, you are cordially invited to contact us!
If not, we look forward to welcoming you as a member soon.
The working group deals with the clarification of legal questions on the topics of collective agreements, guest/work contracts and social security that arise in everyday theatre life for festivals and freelancers.
On this basis, we develop proposals for improvement and seek targeted dialogue with agency representatives, the stage association, political decision-makers and other interest groups, such as the stage association, GDBA, GMD conference, Deutscher Kulturrat, and others.

The WG International is our open view beyond our own nose.
What is the situation in our neighboring countries?
How are artists in other countries dealing with the pandemic?
What is in their contracts?
Where are the similarities, where are the differences?
How and in which topics can we learn from each other?
This multicultural, regular, and transparent think tank and the will to initiate a solidary transformation in Opera on a European level is a central concern of krea[K]tiv.

We are concerned with the development of intimacy coordination in opera:
We are committed to establishing this topic in the training of producers and singers.
We are involved in the development of advanced modules at training centres in German-speaking countries.
Together with the BIK, we are striving for further training that also takes into account the specific needs of opera.
We accompany existing workshop offers, continue our education and develop new offers.
We want to create opera in which boundaries are respected and, by creating a protected rehearsal atmosphere, ultimately more courageous and open work is possible!
