InZwischen #2
The three dancers move between humour and poetry, between the expected and the surprising, between body and language, between the certain and the maybe. They create the performance live in front of the audience.

SHARING ACROSS BORDERS #2
International Dance Network Festival
The international, innovative festival for dance performance and networking SHARING ACROSS BORDERS will take place for the second time.
On three festival days, SHARING is all about dialogue and the coming together of artists, young talents and the public. ACROSS BORDERS refers to our mission to build an international network. The PITCH (IM)PERFECT format offers young artists a platform to present their own work to experienced performers and thus to help them further develop their ideas. The ehrenfeldstudios invite its national and international partners from their studiotrade network to create a space for dialogue and exchange with six young performing talents.
Come join us for a weekend of discussing and performing at shows, talks, workshops and party!

BAAL | GINOIDE (Spain)
Year 2029. GINOIDE is a robot with female resemblance. „Nana“ was built following rules set by a neoliberal society. Rules that our bodies, real or fake, have to obey. GINOIDE, will make us think about sentimental and sexual relationships. Where is humanity heading to? What will happen to the reproduction of our species? The performers Catalina Carrasco and Gaspar Morey present the intergenerational piece GINOIDE together with Max.
Performance: Catalina Carrasco, Gaspar Morey, Max
YELENA ARAKELOW (PHYSICAL félagið) | WAITING FOR A DANCE (Island)
What do we experience in the state of waiting? If we wait together, can we collectively experience a desire for change? Unfolding time through repetition and nothingness increases
the anticipation for something to happen. Perhaps something we don’t yet know …

LOW AIR Vilnius city dance theatre | Me Two / We, The Clique (Lithuania)
A group of young dancers share their experiences of growing up between developing queer identities, sexual harassment and power abuse. The performance portraits personal perspectives and conveys the importance of open discussion in creating a sense of belonging and community within The Clique. The audience is invited to revisit vibrant teen-hood, through the lens of the spectator, a parent, a teacher, and a decision-maker, and to reflect on the boundaries of power in interpersonal and intergenerational relationships.
Idea, choreographer: Airida Gudaite | Dancers: Greta Snitkute, Arminas Kazanavicius, Rokas Bugys, Ugne Laurinaviciute, Grete Vosyliute, Elena Milaknyte, Beatrice Saltenyte, Emilija Ieva Giedraityte, Barbora Mickute, Aura Sriubsaite, Saule Buciunaite, Smilte Kavoliunaite | Director: Jonas Tertelis | Composer: Agnė Matuleviciute | Scenographer: Renata Valcik, Emilis Seputis | Light designer: Julius Kursys | Producer: Laurynas Zakevicius | Manager: Gabriele Kundrotaite

Ain’t no party like a kitchen party!

After dinner, it’s time to hit the dancefloor!

13.00 PITCH (IM)PERFECT #2
Ema Senkuvienė, Marius Eidrigevičius & Greta Snitkutė | Truth or Dare (Lithuania)
As pieces of a global game we move on the space-like game board, hoping to be on the right side at the end. But: What is right for you? The performers reflect on their own origins and their history.
Hanna Held, Vivien Kovarbasic, Vika Grin, Rina Schmeing & Andrea Kößler | FOODPORN (Germany)
In FOODPORN, the performers put food at the centre of their feminist utopia and offer an invitation to collective seduction through the seemingly sinful charms of food.
Mariona Jaume & Maya Triay | TRENTA-SET I MIG (Spain)
Our paths create a multitude of possibilities: encounters, crossings, approaches and distances. Tension and curiosity draw lines in the common and individual space. Simultaneity of seemingly contradictory realities will be explored through dance.

Daniel Ernesto Mueller | Festival tanz nrw 23
The ehrenfeldstudios are happy to welcome the festival tanz nrw 23. A performance for everyone from 5 years onwards awaits you.
In front of the world gate into the unknown, it’s quite galactic! Here stands a gum chewing, bored doorman. As if paralysed, he pops one gum bubble after another. He seems to be waiting. For whom or what, we don’t know. Suddenly a hybrid appears, not human, not animal, not plant and yet a little bit of everything. Something in between. It raps sweet melodies and dances its heart out. The funny, colourful creature invites you into its adventurous worlds. Do you dare to join in? Well then, let’s go! It’s guaranteed to be practically galactic!
You can find the whole program here: Programm – Tanz NRW (tanz-nrw-aktuell.de)
Curated by TanzFaktur, in the context of the festival tanz nrw 23, supported by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of NRW, Kunststiftung NRW, NRW Kultursekretariat, Aktion Mensch.

GUEST PERFORMANCE SERIES DIVERSITY
DATES
Sat. 04 March – 8 pm
Sun. 05 March – 4 pm
Audience discussion after both performances.
GUEST PERFORMANCE SERIES DIVERSITY: FÜHL DIE WELT DURCH MEINE HAUT
Observations on everyday racism
Khadidiatou Bangoura & Guests
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 the performances.
