A lot of work goes into the applications we submit – research, planning, writing – and so much depends on them. Then, a rejection often comes as a formal notification, frequently without any feedback. The chance to get an assessment of what made the difference or where you can improve is missing.
In this workshop, led by dramaturg Matthias Quabbe, we will discuss your rejected applications to identify what you can do differently next time. We will also look at fundamental approaches by examining specific passages in your texts. Matthias will address certain aspects of an application and discuss them with the group. Additionally, we will jointly address individual topics and questions.
Registration for the workshop is open now until February 10 at anmeldung@dfdk.de. Please also send your application text you want to discuss by February 10 to anmeldung@dfdk.de (Word file or PDF, max. 5MB).
For those who do not wish to discuss their own applications, registration is possible until February 23. The number of participants is limited to 15, of which 8 can discuss their applications in the group. The first 8 registrations with applications will be considered for discussion.
The workshop will be held in German – applications can also be submitted in English. If needed, we can provide whisper translation on site (please indicate when registering).
