LAFT Berlin
In April 2007, LAFT – Landesverband freie darstellende Künste Berlin e. V. was founded with the goal of vigorously representing the needs and shared interests of the independent performing arts community in dealing with politicians and the public. Now, with nearly 380 members, including Berlin‘s essential performance venues, groups and individual artists, it has become an influential voice that is listened to and has contributed to a sustainable improvement in the working conditions of the independent performing arts community. As the legal entity behind the Berlin Performing Arts Program, the association actively supports the independent performing arts through networking, advisement, coordination and services and is also organizing the city-wide Performing Arts Festival Berlin each year.

Berlin Performing Arts Program
With the Performing Arts Program, LAFT Berlin has created an effective instrument for the infrastructural strengthening, professionalization and networking of Berlin‘s independent performing arts community. The goals are to increase and consolidate the visibility of artistic work within the creative hub of Berlin, the opening of the independent performing arts community for new audience members, bundling and passing on knowledge and competencies, the strengthening of synergies and creating new cooperations within and beyond the independent performing arts community itself.
