CONNECT – Community Arts Project, LABS & WORKSHOPS, LAYOUT EN, MEGA - Kids & Teens (EN), UPCOMING EVENTS
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!

LABS & WORKSHOPS, LAYOUT EN, THE AGEING BODY – Generation + (EN), UPCOMING EVENTS
“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.
For ALL with and without previous experience.

IMPROVISATION, LABS & WORKSHOPS, LAYOUT EN, UPCOMING EVENTS
This workshop asks if seeing improvisation is like being in landscape.
After all these years I realise you need to watch improvisation like you see landscape. It is a question of exchange, of immersion, physically and perceptually, and of forms of mapping. So, how can we perform landscape? How is the body to move when seen as rain?
This workshop explores ideas around physicality and imagination, and explores the improvising body
as we would explore landscape…
For anyone interested in dance and movement

ARCHIVE, LAYOUT EN
This class proposes a training that combines physical practice, improvisation and real-time composition. The focus is on developing a conscious stage presence, an active bodily awareness and the ability to make decisions within the creative process.
The work will explore:
- physical activation and body availability
- improvisation and composition tools
- the relationship between body, space and sound
- attention, perception and stage presence
- development of personal language
The training moves between technique and research, creating a space where each participant can expand their resources and autonomy as a performer-creator.
Profitraining is a project by Ayberk Esen.
