About us
The Landesverband der Freien Theater in Sachsen e.V. (LFTS) represents the interests of the independent performing arts and artists in Saxony vis-à-vis the public, politicians and administrations since 2007. Its aim is to continuously improve and professionalise the framework conditions for artistic work in Saxony and to promote networking and the visibility of the independent dance and theatre scene. To this end, the LFTS initiates and organises projects and events, represents the independent scene in committees and working groups and is in contact with representatives from politics and administration. Participation, active co-determination and transparency are important pillars of the organisation.
Office
The office of the State Association of Independent Theatres in Saxony (LFTS) was opened in the villa\wigman in Dresden in 2023. With the help of institutional funding from the Saxon State Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the LFTS was able to transition into a full-time structure with a permanent location for day-to-day business for the first time after many years of voluntary work.
The office maintains contacts with politicians, administrators and colleagues in the state and local authorities, the Bundesverband Freie Darstellende Künste e.V. (Federal Association of Independent Performing Arts) and other associations and stakeholders in the performing arts. The office looks after the members and organises events in line with the association's cultural policy objectives. It is also responsible for coordinating projects such as the FUTUR OST cooperative and the Verbund Mitte:Ost.
Team
Board of the association
The Executive Board represents the LFTS internally and externally and provides impetus for the association's work at the head office. The board is elected at the annual general meeting and functions on a parity basis, i.e. without a first chairperson. Its honorary members meet regularly to discuss issues affecting the association and its members.
