In the organizer's words:
Contemporaries - a multi-generational dance theater project
What does it mean to be a contemporary? What moves us - now, in the past, in the future?
We all share the same time, but we experience it differently. What brings us together? What divides us? And how can dance become a common language?
In this project, people from different generations come together to meet in movement. They share the moment, explore what it means to be in the same place at the same time - and yet always changing.
What traces do we leave behind, what patterns emerge?
Dance is always contemporary - because it only exists in the moment. However, it can connect times and make them visible. What memories do we carry in our bodies? What impulses arise from the present? Which themes set us in motion?
In an open and creative process, we develop a dance theater piece through movement, exchange and improvisation. The focus is on working together - a constantly changing process, shaped by the people who help to create it.
The project is intergenerational and is aimed at everyone between the ages of 18 and 80. Whether young or old, with or without dance experience - everyone is welcome. No prior knowledge is required, just curiosity and a desire to move.
Key dates of the project:
Period: May to December 2025
When: Saturdays, 10 am - 1 pm
