St. Gallen Author Days
The St. Galler Autorentage was a literary competition that was held every two years from 2005 to 2009 by the St. Gallen Theater , then in collaboration with the Konstanz Theater . The competition was founded by then St. Gallen drama director Josef Köpplinger . The St. Gallen Theater has given up participation in this competition in favor of the Dramenprozessor writing workshop .
requirements
1st to 3rd Author Days (2005, 2007, 2009)
Authors of new German-language theater plays that had already been accepted by theater publishers but were not allowed to be publicly performed or published by the deadline could take part.
4th to 6th Author Days (2011, 2013, 2015)
The call for tenders was new for concepts for pieces that had not yet been created and first scene sketches.
Prices
Up to 2009, three pieces were selected from all submissions for the sponsorship award and the audience award of the Author Days. Towards the end of the season, the nominated pieces were presented in readings. The winning play was premiered in the following season at the St. Gallen Theater . In addition, an expert jury awarded the CHF 10,000 sponsorship award from the local community of St. Gallen.
As of 2011, due to the changed tender, one of the three piece drafts presented to the audience in staged readings was developed into a piece together with the dramaturgy during the author's two-month stay at the Theater St. Gallen or the Theater Konstanz and then performed at the other theater as Guest performance shown.
