Stage Arbitration Court

When things get tight, we represent our members before the stage arbitration court. To ensure that the proceedings are conducted in a professional manner, the process is accompanied by so-called assessors (GDBA members) who make their stage knowledge available to the court, because the peculiarities of theatre making should also be recognised in court.  

If you are interested in being an assessor at the stage arbitration court, please contact the relevant regional chair. No previous experience is necessary, the GDBA offers fascinating training courses.
