DANCE WORKSHOP - 16:00 - 18:00

Through a workshop with Elias Kraft, one of the cast members of the Dancing Histor(y)ies ensemble, a project presentation and open conversation, we invite participants for a sharing of experiences around the topics of international, transdisciplinary collaboration, site-specific performance, and how to connect contemporary dance, cultural heritage and community work. Participants are invited to join all activities or any part of them.

About the workshop

In this workshop you will be invited to explore improvisational tasks and performativity within a group setting. These tasks will amongst other things be based on timing, choice, spatial awareness and relation, and also accepting or giving support to the shared structure. We will explore this through the lens of floorwork exercises and practicing the awareness of minimal inner tensions within the body and their impact on our choice making individually and collectively.

PROJECT PRESENTATION - 18:00 - 20:00

ilDance’s producer Hanna Magdalena Gödl will present the ‘Dancing Histor(y)ies’ project and speak about the Artistic Partners’ role in it. In collaboration with local communities, new contemporary, site-specific dance works are created which are shown at festivals organized by institutional partners in the five heritage sites of Serbia, Spain, Italy and Greece. After the presentation, we will open up the conversation to speak about international collaborations and their significance for independent artists, the challenges that come with it as well as the possibilities they create.
