Members can be performing arts professionals as well as persons interested in independent performing arts work. The membership is exclusively for individuals (no legal entities/associations).

The membership fee is always valid from 1 January to 31 December of the respective year. The membership is automatically renewed at the beginning of the year until revoked. The membership fee is intended as a solidarity contribution and thus as support for the independent scene.

Please note: The membership fee of 35€ expires at the end of 2022. From January 2023 a staggered plan will apply:

  • Normal fee: 50€
  • Reduced fee: 35€
  • Promotional contribution: 150€

Of course, we want to avoid that the new normal contribution level leads to a financial burden. Therefore, we leave it up to our members to pay at their own discretion, i.e. we do not require any proof of financial standing or justification as to why the reduced contribution is being paid.

How to:
Pay your membership fee – membership card will be sent automatically by post.
