There are many different fields of activity for humanities graduates at theaters, e.g. author, dramaturge, artistic director, cultural management, marketing, human resources, press and public relations, assistant director, stage direction, theater pedagogy, etc.
Example of a job at the theater: Dramaturg. A dramaturge is responsible for coordination tasks in the theater and related professional fields. This person works, for example, on the development of repertoires and is a literary expert for directors, artistic directors, the press and the audience. Today, dramaturgs also work for concert organizers, media (radio, television, film) and public organizations. A job as a dramaturge is particularly interesting for graduates of German studies and philosophy.
You have to bear in mind that you are competing with people who have studied theater studies.
Work as a
intern or as a part-time employee in the theater or voluntarily with private theater groups.
Requirements for starting a career
Although there are theater degree courses, these are not a must. Practical experience (internships) and personal interest are decisive criteria.
Experience in internships or part-time work related to theater, in which you were able to demonstrate your organizational talent and creativity and which prove your interest, is essential.
If you would like to become a performer, it is advisable to gain as much experience as possible and to promote your talent with targeted measures, as well as to build up a good network.
