CONNECT Community Arts Project
The CONNECT – Community Arts Project is aimed at various groups, including women, families, mixed-abled groups, young people, children, people over 55, the LGBTQIA+ community and people with a migration background.
Throughout 2026, eight dance artists from North Rhine-Westphalia will give workshops for each of the above-mentioned target groups. In September, we invite workshop participants and guests to come together for our COMMUNITY ARTS FESTIVAL.
CONNECT promotes participation, diversity and accessibility – at the ehrenfeldstudios and in dance art as a whole.
