Abstract
The article explores the German notion of Bildung, in relation to drama and theatre work, with a particular focus on the rehearsal process. Bildung is a term used to describe education that is simultaneously a process and a product, one that is oriented towards developing life competencies rather than predetermined or set skills. Drawing on an example from Bertolt Brecht's Fatzer, directed by Tore Vagn Lid for the Bergen International Arts Festival (Norway) 2012, the article examines if Bildung, as a cultural, self-reflexive, developmental kind of learning, can be identified when five actors rehearse for this performance. It is set against a global education backdrop where the humanities and the arts in particular, are devalued and vulnerable.
