VOICE: (SICH) FREI SINGEN

What happens when you let your voice move freely?

In this workshop with Antonia Dering, we explore the voice through singing, shouting, harmonizing and improvisation. Together we connect voice, body and movement, discovering how breath, emotion and collective sound can become powerful tools for expression.

No previous singing experience is required—just curiosity and a willingness to explore.

🎪 Workshop Announcement 🎪

In this workshop with Peter Smohai, we explore movement, rhythm and flow through the combination of martial arts principles and staff manipulation. Working with contrasts such as soft and strong, slow and fast, structure and creativity, we develop fluid movement patterns that connect body and object.

The workshop includes basic spinning techniques, contact manipulation, throws, martial arts poses and transitions, and flow development.

Open to anyone curious about movement, objects and embodied practice.

OBJECT MANIPULATION & DANCE

Juggling evolves around your whole body!

In this workshop with Ariane Oechsner, we explore the meeting point of object manipulation, contemporary dance and physical theatre. Through improvisation, movement research and playful experimentation, objects become creative partners rather than tools for tricks.

Together we investigate rhythm, coordination, flow and spatial awareness, developing a more expressive and embodied approach to juggling — what Ariane calls “whole body juggling.”

Open to beginners, movers, jugglers and curious explorers alike.
