Kaltstart e. V. (Kaltstart – Verein für Improvisationstheater) is a theatre-education association in Halle (Saale), Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. It runs amateur theatre, improvisational theatre and musical groups for children, young people and adults, and organises the improvisational theatre festival Impronale.[1][2]
History and aims
According to the association, it has been involved since 2003 in the Impronale, a small improvisational theatre festival that invites European artists to Halle, and was founded as an association in 2006. It is recognised as a provider of independent youth welfare services, with its main expertise in drama and theatre education, and runs continuous year-round projects with children and young people.[2] Its groups rehearse in the rooms of the Spielzeit theatre school in the northern part of Halle's city centre.[3]
Groups
The association's groups include a children's theatre club (ages 6 to 11), youth theatre and youth improv groups, the Junges Musical for ages 10 and up, and improv groups for adults.[1] The adult improv group Stabile Seitenlage began as Kaltstart's youth improv ensemble and has performed in Halle and elsewhere for more than 17 years, with improv shows, matches and long-form improvised plays.[4]
Productions
Recent productions listed by the association include the youth theatre's Hamlet und ich (2024) and Winner und Loser (2025), the children's play Da steht ein Pferd auf dem Flur (2025), the musicals Egoplosion (2023), Non(n)sens (2025) and Es ist nur ein Gefühl (2026), and improvised shows by Stabile Seitenlage such as Totgespielt and Von oben herab (2025).[5] In August 2026 the Junges Musical performed at the WUK in Halle.[1]
