Hey, we\u2019re the Philos, the JES Youth Advisory Council!

We\u2019re a group of young people between the ages of 12 and 18 who are passionate about theater and who contribute ideas and have a say in matters related to the JES. We participate in the play development process, representing the perspectives of young people. Together, we watch plays, explore them artistically through what we call \u201cre-enactments,\u201d and create our own projects at the JES.

What has happened so far?<\/strong>

Festivals<\/strong>
At theater festivals at JES, we create spaces for open exchange and interaction, such as creative workshops, chill-out areas, and opportunities to strike up conversations with one another. For example, in 2025 and 2026, we actively helped shape the supporting program for the \u201cClubtopia. Young Theater Festival\u201d at JES.

We also traveled together to the \u201cRampenlichter \u2013 Dance and Theater Festival\u201d in Munich. There, we met new people and offered post-performance discussions for plays aimed at other young people.

Since 2022, we\u2019ve been participating every two years as \u201cfestival philosophers\u201d at SCH\u00d6NE AUSSICHT, the international and Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg theater festival for young audiences. There, we make our mark and bring together the youth councils of Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg\u2019s theaters.

Interaction<\/strong>
As young theater professionals, we networked with other young people and young artists in Mannheim, Munich, Konstanz, and here in Stuttgart.

In 2025, we came up with the idea for \u201cDie Lange Tafel\u201d\u2014 an interactive discussion format that includes a meal. Here, people from different generations engaged in conversation about youth participation.

Our Own Projects<\/strong>
During the 2025\/26 season, we carried out the \u201cFreiRaum\u201d project. It\u2019s an experiment in how participatory decision-making can be artistically implemented in theater. To that end, we came up with an open stage: the \u201cJES 2 Stage.\u201d

Larissa Probst studied cultural studies and cultural mediation at the University of Hildesheim. She has been working as a freelance theatre mediator and director in Stuttgart since 2020. From 2014 to 2018, she researched new participatory modes of staging strategies for young audiences with her theatre collective BwieZack and developed productions with and for hearing and deaf young people. Her productions were performed at Junges Theater G\u00f6ttingen, LOT-Theater in Braunschweig and the Graz Opera, among others. Since 2018, her work has focussed in particular on intergenerational staging concepts and collaborations and their positioning in a discourse critical of adultism.

Since the 2020\/21 season, Larissa has been a guest assistant director in dance and theatre productions at Junges Ensemble Stuttgart and a theatre educator in the KiTa cooperation project.

Education<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was born in Waldkirch near Freiburg in 1987. In 2012, I completed my studies at the Institute for Theatre Pedagogy in Lingen (Ems) and then worked on a research project on \u2018Speech therapy and theatre pedagogy\u2019 at Osnabr\u00fcck University of Applied Sciences. From 2013 to 2015, I completed on a M.A. programme in Theatre Education at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen\/Nuremberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between my B.A. and M.A. degree, I gave theatre pedagogy seminars in the speech therapy course at Osnabr\u00fcck University of Applied Sciences. During this time, I gained freelance work experience in theatre projects with vocational school students from M\u00fcnster, as an assistant director at Theater Pf\u00fctze in Nuremberg and in experiential and circus education programmes and language development projects for children (Theatre Language Camp\/Oberhausen, DeutschSommer\/Frankfurt)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JES! And me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been working as a theatre educator at JES since the 2015\/2016 season. I am particularly interested in early childhood cultural education, the participation of children and young people in and around JES and encountering people from a wide variety of lived experiences. For several years now, I have been the contact person for the Kita-Abo project to promote the language skills of pre-school children. In the 2022\/23 season, I was responsible for \u2018Die JESPhilosoph*innen\u2019 and ran the inclusive theatre club \u2018Die Tr\u00e4umer*innen\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
