The two-week programme included 12 modules and was almost completely sold out and several newspapers, as well as Swiss Radio, reported on it.<br \/>\nMany visitors described the project and its structure as unique and expressed interest in its continuation. <\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the project was reborn in autumn 2017 as <em>Abendschule Import<\/em> and was designed to run long-term. Marie Drath and Raphael Jakob joined the team and the Autonomous School Zurich became an organisational partner. In the 2017\/18 semesters, more than 20 different courses were held at the Rote Fabrik, Zurich. The course content moved away from more well-known topics such as language, food, dance, although never neglecting them completely, and began to touch on more in-depth and surprising topics, such as flight engineering, laboratory medicine, philosophy, but also political or artistic studies, which bring to attention other perspectives on globally relevant topics.<br \/>\nIn addition, <em>Abendschule Import<\/em> received a request from the Kunsthaus Zurich to hold 2 afternoon courses in conjunction with an exhibition by the Mexican artist Abraham Cruzvillegas. <\/p>\n<p>From summer 2018, <em>Abendschule Import<\/em> has grown in weight and stature and has been collaborating with more partners &#8211; the Belluard Festival in Fribourg, as well as the Wildwuchs Festival in Basel. <\/p>\n<p>The courses in Zurich from 2019 onwards will be held in Cabaret Voltaire. The stage director P Vijayashanthan has stepped into Raphael Jakob\u2019s shoes and is part of the current team. <\/p>\n<p>In 2018, the project <em>Abendschule Import<\/em> was awarded a prize for its cultural contribution by the canton of Zurich.<br \/>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andreas Liebmann and Cecilie Ullerup Schmidt ran Abendschule Import (then known as Klubschule Import) as an addition to their performance \u2018Exodus\u2019 for the first time in 2016 in the Rote [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-20","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/abendschuleimport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/20"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/abendschuleimport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/abendschuleimport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abendschuleimport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abendschuleimport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/abendschuleimport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/20\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":854,"href":"https:\/\/abendschuleimport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/20\/revisions\/854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/abendschuleimport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
