Karoline Felsmann is leaving the Neue Bühne Senftenberg: moving to Tübingen!

There are changes in Brandenburg's cultural scene that are a topic of conversation! The deputy director and chief dramaturge of the Neue Bühne Senftenberg, Karoline Felsmann, has announced her move to the Landestheater Tübingen. She will work there from September 1, 2027 and prepare for her first season from September 2025. How LR Online reported, this change is the result of the decision not to extend the contract of director Daniel Ris.

Felsmann looks back on an impressive career that has taken her to well-known theaters in Germany. Born in East Berlin in 1979, she worked at theaters in Freiburg, Plauen-Zwickau, Heilbronn, Heidelberg and Erlangen, among others. From 2015 to 2022 she was senior dramaturge at Theater Erlangen, where she was able to contribute her expertise in the areas of acting, children's and youth theater and mediation. Since the 2022/2023 season she has been working in artistic matters at the Neue Bühne Senftenberg, where she worked closely with Daniel Ris and the in-house director Elina Finkel. The three formed a creative team of three that set the artistic course for the stage.

Personal decision for the future

Felsmann's decision to leave the Neue Bühne Senftenberg is no coincidence. She has already said publicly that she no longer sees a future at the Neue Bühne. Your new position at the Landestheater Tübingen is not only a personal step, but also a move to the state theaters, which are 70% financed by the state of Baden-Württemberg.

For the artist, this change is a great opportunity to realize her visions and ideas in a new environment. For Felsmann, opening up new perspectives is a positive step that takes her back to the roots of theater and art. So she took the opportunity to bring her talents and skills to bear in a different context and thus bring a breath of fresh air into the cultural scene.

The Neue Bühne Senftenberg is looking for the future

What does this mean for the Neue Bühne Senftenberg? Felsmann's departure is part of a larger upheaval. The theater landscape in Brandenburg is facing challenges, and the departure of such a personality raises questions. In the next few months, the Neue Bühne will certainly have to look for the right solutions to ensure artistic quality and audience popularity.

What's next for the artistic direction in Senftenberg? The decisions made in the near future will be crucial for how the theater can position itself in the region. In any case, we remain excited to see what new approaches and concepts will be developed for the stage in Senftenberg in order to continue to make cultural life lively.

It will be particularly interesting to see how collaboration between the arts and the political framework on both sides, in Brandenburg and Baden-Württemberg, can pave the way for future projects. Theater Management Current offers further information for anyone interested in such developments.
