Collab between HOS NRW and SAMA Street Vibe, African Movement

A two-week research project with six performers from Dakar and six dancers from the NRW region to work on a performance.
The basic structure of this performance should above all invite other people to take part. Workshop formats will take place during the two weeks, and we will open the exhibition space to the public several times and advertise events. To this end, we are inviting all non-academic dancers, including many young people, from all over NRW to the sharing formats, which we will advertise through several channels with the support of Tanzhaus NRW. There will be anti-racist awareness workshops paired with empowering bodywork to raise awareness in the community and individually. We are also expecting guests from France and Belgium who have a deep connection to Dakar's dance scene.
In addition to the 14 fixed participants, we will above all open up performative spaces that can include everyone who wants to take part in the performance.
We aim to create space for development and a learning experience that transcends cultural and language barriers.
