Rainer Pawelke

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rainer Pawelke (born March 16, 1947 ) is a German choreographer , director, producer, educator and author .

Career

Pawelke is the founder and artistic director of the " Traumfabrik " show theater . He is a choreographer, director and producer of major international cultural events (including the opening ceremony of the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Stuttgart 1989 / World Exhibition in Seville, EXPO 1992 on behalf of the Federal Republic of Germany, producer of the "German Day").

From 1972 to 2002 Pawelke worked as a lecturer in teacher training at the University of Regensburg , focusing on training science, programmed learning and sports education. He is the motor and initiator of the new culture of sport and movement (trade journal Sportpädagogik 4/2003). In the early 1980s, he developed the idea of ​​adding creative and playful elements to traditional sport. Today this content is standard in curricula and teacher training (movement arts, juggling, adventure sports, frisbee games, jumping rope, etc.)

Rainer Pawelke also became known through the development of new creations in musical and aesthetic education. So he created a new genre: the sports theater and developed, among other things, a methodical artistic concept for black theater .

He advocates an ideology-free sport and rejects the pedagogical instrumentalisation of physical education. He thinks sports lessons that are loaded with learning objectives are a failure ("formerly military training, today health"). Sport, like theater, is a cultural asset that needs no further justification than that of fun and pure enjoyment.

His ideas for a new sports culture were presented nationwide in the media in the 1980s and 90s, for example in "New Paths in Sport" in Stern 9/83 and in 50 television programs. He was five times a guest in the ZDF's current sports studio and received invitations to talk shows with Joachim Fuchsberger , Alfred Biolek and the ZDF health magazine.

Since 1983 he has been passing these ideas on to multipliers, cultural managers and educators. Every year the International Sports Culture Academy of the Traumfabrik takes place at the University of Regensburg . With 90 workshops (dance, theater, play and rhythm), 60 speakers, around 2,200 course places and an extensive cultural program, it is the largest training event of its kind today.

Rainer Pawelke was the scientific director of a research project commissioned by the Federal Ministry of Education and Science, with which new exercise and leisure opportunities for young people were researched and developed. The project was funded with 750,000 DM from the federal government and 250,000 DM from Daimler-Benz. The duration was four years (1986–1990) and ended with a sports culture festival, which was shown in a 90-minute documentary on ZDF.

He is the author of sports science and educational articles and books. His most important publication as editor and author is a comprehensive presentation of the new sports culture, one of the schools of thought that he shaped.

For his artistic and scientific work he has received national and international art and culture awards.
