Strengthening contemporary dance for young audiences together in a sustainable way<\/h3>\n

A dance production visits students in their classroom for three school hours \u2013 in a triad of workshop, performance and post-performance discussion, contemporary dance is brought directly into everyday school life. We attended explore dance<\/em> festivals and performances from an early stage and engaged in intensive exchanges with colleagues about experiences and formats. For several years now, we have been involved in concrete collaborations with almost all of the network partners, including within the framework of the Tanz weit drau\u00dfen Network. These collaborations then led to discussions about joining the explore dance <\/em>network.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

We combine viewing experiences of dance with various formats that encourage children and young people to dance for themselves, and we also train dance professionals and educators in the field of dance. We focus on three building blocks: dancing for yourself, watching dance, and teaching dance.<\/p>\n

First of all, we are naturally looking forward to many exciting dance productions that will be created as part of explore dance<\/em>. We also hope that, as part of explore dance<\/em>, we will be able to draw more attention and visibility to this important artistic field and inspire dance professionals, cultural policymakers and other key players in the field. We will certainly benefit greatly from the experience and expertise of the explore dance<\/em> partners and hope to share this knowledge with other organisations in our field.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1756994291361{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1759178183420{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”]D\u00f6rte<\/strong>:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1756994274438{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=””]Unlike our other partners, we are based in a town with just under 60,000 inhabitants in a sparsely populated county.

We have also adapted four of our previous productions for the stage. We have a venue for 130 spectators in Stralsund, which is wonderful for showing dance to young audiences, but also of course for producing it. Within the network, we want to make use of these opportunities together and thus also more sustainably.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

In your opinion, what can the art form of dance offer young audiences in particular?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

We are fascinated by its complexity. We want to produce dance pieces that inspire us as adults just as much as they inspire children and young people. We are also happy to dispense with language in our productions, because dance often tells (so much) more (than) stories.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1756994361165{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1756994445289{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=””]Anna<\/strong>:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1756994411146{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=””]Dance has a special potential \u2013 beyond verbal expression, it simultaneously appeals to the senses, motor skills and cognition. These are abilities that we unfortunately lose with age, but which need to be activated and maintained at an early stage. In its diverse forms of expression, dance provides spaces for experience in which we can not only endure the tense, contradictory dynamics of our present, but also explore them and creatively shape them ourselves. Dance fosters relationships and encounters by unfolding in the interplay between self-perception and the observation of others, between dancing oneself and the reception of dance.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”20123″ img_size=”full” css=””][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text css=””]Nora Elberfeld: 1004 Zentimeter Mut<\/em>, Photo: Jonas Albrecht<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Through the network, we have already been able to expand our team.<\/p>\n

Through the network, we have already been able to expand our team. And, of course, there will also be a new production, preferably for grades 5\/6.

That is why we have developed a format in which we combine a production for young audiences by professional choreographers with short pieces by various Perform[d]ance amateur dance groups. The format is called \u201cChoreos kurios\u201d and aims to spark curiosity about different choreographic styles. The encounter between professionals and young people is heart-warming \u2013 because some of them are considering studying dance and then ask the professional dancers about their everyday lives and which university or training programme they would recommend. And the audience is also enthusiastic about this combination.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1757082985720{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1756994445289{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=””]D\u00f6rte<\/strong>:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1756994411146{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=””]Last May, ZINADA visited us with the explore dance<\/em> pop-up WUW \u2013 Wind und Wand<\/em><\/a> (\u201cWind and Wall\u201d) and even much later, we continued to receive many personal messages \u2013 both from ZINADA, who were enthusiastic about the creative ideas of the dancing young people, and from the young people themselves, who found it very rewarding to be able to perform in front of the professional dancers, not as a support act, but as part of a truly shared evening.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/6″][vc_single_image image=”20045″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right” css=””][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1761051704971{margin-top: 10px !important;}”]ZINADA: WUW – Wind und Wand<\/em>, Photo: Christina Gerg<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1757082985720{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1756994445289{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=””]Anna<\/strong>:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1756994411146{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=””]In our projects, such as the piece Ein Raum ohne W\u00e4nde<\/em> (“A Room without Walls”<\/a>) or dance projects in schools, which we organise together with children and young people, we often see that many of them face their own fears by opening themselves up to movement and dance. This courage gives us strength and shows that it is worthwhile to promote dance for young audiences and to create structures and visibility. Hopefully, as a network now operating in six federal states, we will once again receive substantial funding from the federal government. This would enable us to really get started together and achieve great things.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
