DIALOGUE IN MOTION: Communication, Collaboration, Co-Creation
Nov 29th 2025 , 15:00 – 20:00
What does community mean to Me?
Workshop: 3-6pm
Performance: 7-8pm
Facilitator: Dr. Dagmar Spain
Assistant: Lynne Scharf
In this workshop, participants will explore the meaning of community for a sense of belonging. They will engage openly with the making within communities that allow community members to feel connected beyond a shared zip code and how others, newcomers, are invited to become part of it. Participants can share their insights and concerns through embodied, visual, and textual expressions and engage in dialogue with others to foster new perspectives. As a result of our communication and collaboration, we will develop a structured improvisation to be performed in addition to the workshop. Everyone is welcome, with or without previous dance experiences. The workshop is held from 3-6 pm, followed by a performance with audience discussion from 7-8 pm.
Price: 30 € / 20 € (reduced)
