THE AGEING BODY: Performance lab

THE AGEING BODY: Performance lab

THE AGEING BODY

Four Performance Dance-Labs in 2025 under the motto KINGS & QUEENS – Gender roles in transition

Under the title KINGS & QUEENS, we invite all people over 55 to explore traditional gender roles and their own positioning within them through dance art under the direction of Silke Z. and Caroline Simon.

How do labels and stereotypes of gender roles become entrenched on a physical level? How can we express these in movements, challenge them and transform them into something new? What biographical imprints and self- and external attributions are there? We want to explore all these questions together with you through dance.

The lab will culminate in a final performance.

Barrier-free access possible. Accompanying persons receive free admission.

THE AGEING BODY: Performance-lab

ARE YOU OVER 55 YEARS OLD?
ARE YOU CURIOUS?
ARE YOU KEEN TO MOVE?

Sign up for our next DANCE LAB. We explore MOVEMENT and BODY in AGE(ING) dance, physically, playfully and always in exchange with each other.

What do I gain from age(ing)? We EXPLORE this and more together. The lab is led by choreographer Silke Z. and dancer Caroline Simon.

For ALL with or without previous experience. For ALL with or without physical peculiarities. For ALL !

THE DISTANT BODY

THE DISTANT BODY

THE DISTANT BODY

Dance research labs with people 60+

As part of the multi-year artistic stage, outreach and research project THE EMPATHIC BODY by choreographer Silke Z. and her ensemble die metabolisten, four dance labs for the generation 60+ will be offered in 2021 under the title THE DISTANT BODY.

The effects of the Corona pandemic, especially the distance regulations have changed the (performance) world. The use of Zoom etc. to “work further” in art assigns a new meaning to the body and the question of distance. Especially for the older generation, the awareness of distance has changed. What does distance mean today? Distance from one’s own body? What effects does distance have on movement? How do these developments affect relationships? What does social distancing mean in life, in old age and in a stage context?

In the laboratory situations, the participants research these questions in solos, duos and groups together with the choreographer and selected ensemble members for a week and bring the results to the stage of the ehrenfeldstudios in a final performance.

***In addition to the lab weeks, rehearsal and performance visits are planned as part of the ensemble’s artistic productions***
