It is obvious that Xbrick® are suitable as flexible seating in open-air classrooms and for group work. Especially in the hot summer, you can take the flexible furniture outside to make lessons more varied. But the Xbrick® are even more talented than you can see at first glance! The handle openings and the low weight make them the perfect stage elements for school theater performances.

#### Creating space for imagination and creativity

Theatre education today no longer relies on old-fashioned, traditional stage sets and richly decorated backdrops, but requires above all simple elements that are suitable for free improvisation and spontaneous playing on several levels and offer space for imagination.

#### Xbrick® for art!

Whether as a deck chair on the beach, as an armchair in the office or as a waiting bench at the bus station: with the Xbrick® and just a little imagination, theater spaces can be created that can be quickly set up and dismantled and can be "occupied" by several theater actors at the same time.

#### Easy to use

The material is very stable, so you can stand on an Xbrick® without any danger. If you then put the different elements together with the [X-conn connecting elements](https://www.xbrick.eu/en/produkt/x-connector), nothing can go wrong during the theater performance - literally... You also don't have to worry that the Xbrick® aren't robust enough. When setting up and dismantling the stage, the blocks can even be thrown without being damaged - relatively quietly and without any risk of injury.

#### Unlimited possibilities

The theatre group at [Schickhardt-Gymnasium](https://www.schickhardt.net/) has been working with the elements for the second season now. The actors and the director are completely enthusiastic about the flexibility, stability and unlimited possibilities of the Xbrick®.

One student said:
"They are so simple and ingenious, you can do so much with them! ... We need more of them."
