Nikita Buldyrski, actor and graduate of the Thomas Bernhard Institute, is honoured with the prestigious Alfred Kerr Actor Award. The prize is awarded annually for an outstanding performance by a young actor in one of the ten productions at the Berlin Theatre Meeting. It is endowed with 5,000 euros in prize money and is awarded by the Alfred Kerr Foundation with the support of the Berliner Festspiele.

The Mozarteum University once again cordially invites its alumnae and alumni as well as emeritus and emeriti to a drink followed by a performance of W. A. Mozart's "Le nozze di Figaro"! Rector Elisabeth Gutjahr will give you a warm welcome.

Sir John Falstaff is a natural phenomenon: his appearance is imposing, his demeanour commanding, his manner possessive. And most fascinating of all: the event does not care about rules, conventions or decorum, it simply exists for its own sake, in a sense for nothing but its belly.

The call is aimed at young researchers and those interested in research in the context of art and education as well as all neighbouring disciplines. We would like to invite doctoral candidates and post-docs as well as students in Bachelor's and Master's programmes to contribute. A thematic reference to the call is desirable in the contributions, but this is not a prerequisite for participation.
