3 Questions for Andrea Schönhofer

A big question for society as a whole that always concerns me: How can we initiate encounters that would otherwise not happen?

I'm a big fan of plans, concepts and all the tools and methods that make you feel like you have everything under control. But I'm an even bigger fan of overturning these plans and improvising in each situation. In a professional field where people and ‘play’ play a central role, and also as a mother of two children, improvisation is very important to me!

As city dramaturge, Andrea Schönhofer seeks dialogue and encounters – in order to bring the diverse impulses and topics of the international artists of the SPIELART Festival into resonance with urban society.
