Life After Art School: Lorenz Nolting
Lorenz Nolting ist der Gast der sechsten Folge von Life After Art School. Lorenz studierte Schauspiel an der Folkwang Universität der Künste und Regie an der HfMT Hamburg. Er hat sein Studium vor einigen Jahren erfolgreich abgebrochen und inszeniert seitdem mit zahlreichen Kompliz*innen an diversen Theatern im deutschsprachigen Raum. Seine Arbeiten tragen Titel wie “WOYZECK – das schärfste Messer Deutschlands” (Thalia Theater) oder “ULTRALENZ – 70 000 Cops wollen deine Location wissen” (Volksbühne). Im vergangenen Sommer löste die Absage seiner Inszenierung “ÖDIPUS EXZELLENZ” durch den Intendanten des Theater Osnabrück eine weitreichende Debatte über Macht und Entscheidungsstrukturen in deutschen Stadttheatern aus.
Anne und Cornelius sprechen mit Lorenz über das Verhältnis von Input und Output, über TikTok und YouTube, dem Traum Schauspieler zu sein und Regisseur oder vielleicht auch Schreiner zu werden, über die Bedeutung eines Armbruchs und die Sehnsucht nach Momenten der Ruhe.
Lorenz erzählt außerdem von seiner Arbeit mit dem Peng!-Kollektiv und seiner Zeit beim Jugendtheater P14 der Volksbühne Berlin. Im Februar 2026 kommt seine nächste Inszenierung “ELEKTRA – 100 Pferdestärken Vergangenheitsüberwältigung” am Volkstheater München raus.

Can AI think (artistically)? - Final discussion with all participants
The lecture series “Can AI think (artistically)” opens up a joint testing ground for the question of whether and how AI works artistically. We invite guests from the arts and sciences to discuss the artistic potential of AI in concrete projects and theories. The focus is on the (historical) conditions and processes under which a poetics can be asserted, as well as the political and material foundations of artistic practice through statistical renderings. The lectures combine insights into work processes with critical analysis of infrastructure and responsibility, and frame the work in the accompanying seminars.
Accompanying the lecture series is a theoretical seminar (Elisa Linseisen) and a practical seminar (Friedrich von Borries, Alexander Doudkin) in which students will use, test, hack, and reinterpret the AI platform https://art-of-x.com
