THE AGEING BODY

Dance research labs for people 55+

Coming up: Performance-lab KINGS & QUEENS Gender roles in transition

Under the title KINGS & QUEENS, we want to explore traditional gender roles and our own positioning within them through dance 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, which will be shown as the opening act before our guest performance Boys Confused Part 1

 

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

Dance research labs for people 60+

As part of the multi-year artistic project THE EMPATHIC BODY by choreographer Silke Z. and the transgenerative ensemble die metabolisten, four dance labs for the generation Ü60 will be offered in 2022 under the title THE DIVERSE BODY.

Embedded in a dance series focusing on diversity in society, to which international dance performances are invited, Silke Z. and ensemble members of the metabolists offer a dance laboratory for all people over 60.

Everything revolves around the themes of empathy, language and the body!
The dance labs are dedicated to physical and artistic research at eye level and open up a protected space in which the positions of the generation 60+ can become visible. The work is dance-based and language-based.

Each lab includes an impulse lecture on the thematic focus of the lab, its own final presentation and the opportunity to see dance performances together at the ehrenfeldstudios.
