Silke Z. & die metabolisten

 

Each of the invited guest performances in the DIVERSITY series is accompanied by a duo dance piece by Silke Z. with dancers from the ensemble die metabolisten, in which the transgenerative perspective on the content of the guest performance is taken up.
Karel and Hanna put themselves in each other’s skin. Themes such as age, shame, belonging and touch are negotiated. The skin as a border to the world offers both performers the possibilities of opening up and communication, as well as resistance and withdrawal.

#1 WE (THE EMPATHIC BODY)

#1 WE (THE EMPATHIC BODY)

 

#1 WE (THE EMPATHIC BODY)

# 1 WE is a dance laboratory with artistic working methods. The workshop is led by choreographer Silke Z.

In the workshop, choreographer Silke Z. presents her artistic working method in the context of her production WE which is the first part of the multi-year project THE EMPATHIC BODY.

The performance WE deals with the question of personal qualities as a precondition for an encounter. In the workshop, the participants will be guided in developing biographical movement material and exploring it in different interpersonal and choreographic contexts. In a playful and performative setting, labels, self- descriptions and attributions to others will be explored and developed. The practical result will be transformed into a common vocabulary on empathy through different methods of reflection.

FÜHL DIE WELT DURCH MEINE HAUT

Observations on everyday racism Khadidiatou Bangoura & Guests (+AUDIENCE DISCUSSION) 

 

The starting point of the piece is a thought experiment: Black people and PoCs, as the dominant social group, do not experience everyday racism, while white people, who do not belong to the dominant social group, experience everyday racism. Connections between everyday racism and structural racism are explored. Through dance & text, an emotional, complementary and low-threshold approach to the academic and theoretical discourse on racism is pursued in order to promote processes of sensibilisation, self-reflection and self-education to actively combat racism.

Khadidiatou Bangoura is a dancer & choreographer with West African roots. Her artistic works include “The heart is a muscle” (2016), “Adult-ish” (2017), “Moving Structures” (2020) and “FÜHL DIE WELT DURCH MEINE HAUT – Observations on everyday racism (2021)”. Through dance, she aims to enable the analysis of our relationships to each other, to ourselves and to our environment, creating new narratives that provoke reflection.

There will be an audience discussion after both performances.

SHAME MY NAME | Konnective

SHAME MY NAME is the second guest performance in the Diversity series on the theme of gender & sexuality.

The guest performance series curated by Silke Z. in cooperation with Querfeldein will present national and international dance productions over the next two years that deal with the themes of inclusion & participation, gender & sexuality, privilege, appreciation & racism, age, everyday life & visibility. In this format, topics of the diversity discourse are explicitly anchored in the repertoire in order to make their visibility sustainably effective.

 

The intermedial performance SHAME MY NAME deals with the affair between Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton, the nipplegate around Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake and the rape allegations of GNTM contestant Gina-Lisa Lohfink.
Konnective examines the digital shaming of the three women and asks: How were their stories stored in the collective memory and what strategies did the women use to survive the shaming?
What continuities can be found with the history of female humiliation?

Performers:
Saliha Shagasi, Judith Niggehoff, Sophie Halcour

supported by the Fonds Darstellende Künste with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media within the framework of NEUSTART KULTUR.
