Silke Wilhelm
Education
I was born in Waldkirch near Freiburg in 1987. In 2012, I completed my studies at the Institute for Theatre Pedagogy in Lingen (Ems) and then worked on a research project on ‘Speech therapy and theatre pedagogy’ at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences. From 2013 to 2015, I completed on a M.A. programme in Theatre Education at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen/Nuremberg.
Elsewhere
Between my B.A. and M.A. degree, I gave theatre pedagogy seminars in the speech therapy course at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences. During this time, I gained freelance work experience in theatre projects with vocational school students from Münster, as an assistant director at Theater Pfütze in Nuremberg and in experiential and circus education programmes and language development projects for children (Theatre Language Camp/Oberhausen, DeutschSommer/Frankfurt)
JES! And me
I have been working as a theatre educator at JES since the 2015/2016 season. I am particularly interested in early childhood cultural education, the participation of children and young people in and around JES and encountering people from a wide variety of lived experiences. For several years now, I have been the contact person for the Kita-Abo project to promote the language skills of pre-school children. In the 2022/23 season, I was responsible for ‘Die JESPhilosoph*innen’ and ran the inclusive theatre club ‘Die Träumer*innen’.
