LABS & WORKSHOPS, LAYOUT EN, UPCOMING EVENTS
This workshop creates an intergenerational space for connection where the body becomes a place for play, exploration, and expression. The session begins with a guided session (approx. 60 minutes) in which movement is explored as a form of drawing in space through contemporary dance, dance theater, and improvisation.
Using simple materials—paper, brushes, sticks, or everyday objects—participants explore line, form, and the transformation of the body, developing moving images and small compositions from these elements. The object acts as a mediator, facilitating access to movement and opening up new possibilities for expression.
This is followed by an informal opportunity for discussion during a break. The event concludes with a brief performative segment: a short presentation, an artistic intervention, or an open-format activity in which the audience can participate. The focus is on shared experiences, creativity, and connection.

CLASSES, IMPROVISATION, LAYOUT EN
Dance Alive is a holistic dance class that views the human being as a whole. Body, emotion, and spirit belong together, and that is exactly how the class is structured.
We work physically on strength, flexibility, and coordination (kinetic). We experience community, expression, and emotional connection in the group (emotional). And we promote creativity, creativity, and conscious understanding of movement (cognitive). Dance Alive is suitable for everyone, regardless of age or dance experience.
It’s not about perfection, but about liveliness. You’ll become fitter, freer, and feel more in touch with yourself again.And you’ll experience how good it feels to move together.

When it hasn′t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, but
I′ll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I’ll be there for you
Like I′ve been there before
I’ll be there for you
Cause you’re there for me too
We have all had a best friend at some point. A person we tell everything to, who we text or call when something good or bad happens.
In this workshop, we will explore through dance what connects us to our friends. Can friendship be found in our bodies? How much closeness and distance do we need? And how much strength do we find in our friendships?
The workshop is aimed at all young people between the ages of 13 and 20, with or without dance experience. Together, we will discover how to approach the topic through dance. Bring your best friend!

“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.
