PLANLOS GLÜCKLICH! | Caroline Simon

The workshop focuses on “instant composition”, a game with decisions, letting go, trust, perception …. and, above all, having fun with your own movement!
We will explore various tools, methods and strategies to create our own dance in real time.

How can we perceive, play with and compose unexpected and surprising possibilities by “not planning”?

 

For everyone with and without prior dance experience.

Barrier-free access. Accompanying persons receive free admission.

Pitch (im)Perfect

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
