As part of the international festival Dance ALL IN x Sharing Across Borders Edition 3, we created an open call, looking for newcomers from NRW from the fields of dance, choreography or performing arts.
In the Pitch (im)perfect format, up-and-coming artists from North Rhine-Westphalia present their artistic concepts, ideas and projects in process. In exchange with international artists and the audience, ideas and concepts can be explored further and future plans can be developed.
We have now invited the following five up-and-coming talents to present their projects in the process. Look forward to the following brand new pitches:
Saturday, 31.05.2025 11:00 am
Johanna Greiner with “Sagenumwoben”
Following in the footsteps of her grandmother, the performer explores cultural memory, a sense of responsibility and intergenerational exchange.
Saturday, 31.05.2025 12:30 pm
Gaia Pellegrini with “CULO 2 AKA LE VELINE”
Two dancers agree to expose their bodies between performing for the camera and seeing and perceiving each other, reclaiming the performance of their hyper-femininity.
Sunday, 01.06.2025 10:30 am
Agnetha Jaunich & Rebekka Jochem with “REPATTERNING”
In a dialog, two female read bodies and a knitting machine examine the contrast between traditional narratives and the often overlooked but vital care work.
Sunday, 01.06.26 12 p.m.
Natalia Kozakiewicz with “SCOR(E)ING THE PUBLIC”
Scor(e)ing the public is a participatory performance that questions familiar “everyday paths” through an audio walk in public space.

J. Garaycochea, Y. KIM, L. Stöckle, T. Raffaela Dinklage with “KLLING ME SOFTLY”

Would you like to discover the power of movement, storytelling and artistic expression? We invite you to be part of a unique collaborative project that combines dance, theater and film in an immersive and inspiring experience. This FREE workshop will take place from April 14 to 19, 2025 in Cologne and will be led by choreographer and artistic director Sagí Amir Gros (WDTanztheater).
“Dance tells things that words cannot.” is an artistic journey that leads from personal expression to group connection, empathy and representation. In a series of creative workshops, participants will explore how movement and performance can tell stories that sometimes cannot be fully expressed with words alone. Working with themes of identity, resilience and representation, we will develop short scenes that combine dance, theater and film. The process culminates in a final live presentation where participants share their creative work in a performance and short film screening.
What can you expect?
– Daily workshops (2.5 hours per day) on movement, storytelling and artistic expression.
– A collaborative and inclusive environment, open to all levels – no previous experience necessary!
– Developing personal stories through dance and theater with a focus on identity and connection.
– The opportunity to be part of a short film highlighting individual and collective narratives
– A final presentation where you will showcase your work in a performance that combines dance, theater and film.
Who can take part?
This project is open to everyone, regardless of artistic background or experience. Whether you are a dancer, actor, filmmaker or simply someone who wants to explore new forms of creative expression – this is for you! The project was funded by the RheinEnergie Foundation and is realized in cooperation with ehrenfeldstudios.
