“I can deepen my contact with myself and my fellow dancers, I can be positively curious again. I feel included, not excluded – that’s priceless. And because the world is the way it is, we as those affected need to reinforce these positive feelings again and again, recharge our batteries and enjoy them. This is possible in dance training at the ehrenfeldstudios!”
(Ulrike Borchers, Dance & Parkinson’s participant)
Under the guidance of Silke Z., we intensify our own body awareness in search of new possibilities for movement. We work playfully with individual dance expression and our own creativity.
A project by Elisabeth Habel in cooperation with ehrenfeldstudios.

This creative dance workshop for families invites us to explore movement and play as ways to connect and imagine together. Inspired by the idea of forming hybrid communities, we let our bodies transform into fantastic beings that emerge from our own creativity. Using simple organic materials such as sticks, fabrics and natural textures, we experiment with shapes, weights and rhythms to invent new creatures and shared worlds. Through guided proposals, children and adults discover their individual movement and then open it to communication with others—moving alone, in pairs and in groups. The workshop offers a joyful, safe and playful environment where every body can express itself freely, expand its imagination, and enjoy the pleasure of dancing together. It is an invitation to curiosity, cooperation and the shared creation of a small, temporary universe made of bodies, nature and imagination.
DATE
Fri, 20.02.26 | 4:30 – 6 pm

This workshop invites children to imagine beings from other worlds and realities—each one different, unique, and magical. Through playful movement games, they explore what it feels like to be human, animal, plant, or something entirely new. Using simple natural materials like sticks, fabrics, and soft textures, children invent hybrid creatures and experiment with extraordinary shapes, discovering new ways of moving and being. Together, they create stories, habitats, and tiny ecosystems, communicating through rhythm, gesture, and imagination. The workshop encourages curiosity, celebrates difference, and gently introduces themes like queer identity and being unique, all in a safe, joyful space where every child can transform, express themselves, and explore the limitless possibilities of body and imagination.
DATES
Sat, 21.02. & Sun, 22.02.26
Group 1 children ages 4-7: 2-3 pm
Group 2 older children ages 8-12: 3-4 pm

Age(ing) concerns all of us – throughout our entire lives. This makes the questions of how age(ing) moves us, how we want to move as we age, and how we shape age(ing) both socially and artistically relevant. Approaching these topics through a physical and dance-based practice in a low-hierarchy, non-judgemental environment offers participants space to explore, question, and experience.

A multi-medium performance for young audience with two dancers and touchscreens.
The dancers are entering through the screens into a virtual wonderland which takes them into a journey around the world. Through the screen, they virtually travel in different countries and cultures, and learn new music. During this journey they discover new things about themselves and they learn that what surrounds them is as interesting as the phantasy world they meet through the screen. In Flugmodus, the screens are also digital dancers, and together with the human dancers they create a choir of touchscreens. With movement, sound and videos the performers will ask the audience to turn their smartphones into flight mode and invite them to join them on an interactive journey in the technological wonderland through the screens.
