A festival field trip organised by brut Wien and the Wiener Festwochen In the Field is a scholarship format specially designed for students and artists on the cusp of their new careers; it invites them to experience a theatre festival at first hand.

Die In The Field-Gruppe erkundet weiterhin das vielfältige Programm der Wiener Festwochen. Während eines exklusiven Austauschs mit Anna Witt („Beathouse Donaustadt“) wurde der Intimität des Herzschlags nachgespürt, während es im Gespräch mit Mette Edvardsen und einigen ihrer „lebendigen Bücher“ um die spezielle Intimität der One-to-One-Sessions ging. Der Besuch einer Vorstellung von „aCORdo“ mit anschließendem Treffen der Performer und der Künstlerin Elisabeth Bakambamba Tambwe gaben Aufschluss über die Wahrnehmung und Darstellung des „Anderen“.

Am Eröffnungswochenende der Wiener Festwochen hat sich die In the Field-Gruppe aufgemacht in die Donaustadt. Dort haben sie die Generalprobe zu „Diamante“ und Vorstellungen von „Beat House Donaustadt“, „undercurrents“ und „Corbeaux“ besucht. Teil des Programms war auch der Talk von Mariano Pensotti („Diamante“) und Christoph Reinprecht und ein exklusiver Austausch mit Sarah Vanhee („undercurrents“) und Veza Fernández.

At the first meeting, In the Field participants took part in a discussion with Austrian choreographer and performance artist Doris Uhlich and Moroccan dancer and choreographer Bouchra Ouizguen. Then they got an insight into the rehearsal of Quizguens "Corbeaux", which is performed in the context of the Wiener Festwochen.
