Hier wird "AuswärtsSpiel" erwähnt, bin mir aber nicht sicher, ob es das ist: http://www.theateramneumarkt.ch/html/downloads/tan_mp06-11.p...
Claudia Mark (asker) Jul 7, 2008:
mehr Kontext... Andreas Grüter stammt aus Luzern und machte 1997 seinen Meister für Veranstaltungstechnik in der Fachrichtung Beleuchtung in Berlin. Darüber hinaus absolvierte er 1998 bis 2000 an der Bayerischen Theaterakademie München den Studiengang Lichtgestaltung. 1999 arbeitete Andreas Grüter als Beleuchtungsmeister mit Robert Wilson bei dessen Persefone-Performance am Lucerner Theater zusammen. Zwei Jahre später übernahm er dort die Technische Leitung des Festivals Auswärtsspiele. Zeitgleich erarbeitete er dort die Lichtgestaltung für Oper in Brüssel, Istanbul, Stockholm, Frankfurt und Tokio. In den Jahren 2003 und 2004 arbeitete er als Beleuchtungsmeister bei den Bregenzer Festspielen und ist seitdem als freier Lichtgestalter an zahlreichen Opernhäusern und Theatern im In- und Ausland tätig. Seit 2007 ist er für die Lichtgestaltung der Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg - Inszenierung von Katharina Wagner in Bayreuth verantwortlich.

Könnte es ein Eigenname sein? Das Festival "Auswärtsspiele"?

festival touring [performances]

It might include 'out-reach' work which arts organisations take on, specifically to reach new, possibly disadvantaged audiences, but largely refers to when an orchestra goes on tour around festivals in different cities/countries. 'Technical Director, Festivals' sounds appropriate to me; no need for the performances or even the touring in my view; they are implied.

In reference to comment below, perhaps best solution would be 'Technical Director of Festival Touring', to be absolutely sure.
Peer comment(s):

agree Highest Quality : Less formal would be "road shows". I disagree with the comment, though. I think it's very clear that he became technical director not of the festival itself, but only of the touring performances.

Think that would be fine for popular music; unlikely to be used in classical arena though.

the Festival's out-based events (at ???)

I think this is what is meant; but WHERE? (Assuming it's not Lucerne)

Clearly from the site you found, these are indeed events based outside Lucerne - the actual "home" of the Festival.

Sorry, the site Michael found...
Peer comment(s):

disagree Helen Shiner : 'out-based' doesn't sound English to me; we do say 'out-reach', but not sure it that is precisely what is meant here.

So justify your "disgaree", please?

festival guest performances

... maybe?
Peer comment(s):

neutral Helen Shiner : Think this is the better suggestion./After reading David's comments, I made my own suggestion.

disagree David Moore (X) : This is not what is meant though - a guest performance is normally an invited performer at the usual venue - nothing at all to do with "playing away", AFAICS.
