Location

Chemnitz, Hartmannfabrik

entrance free of charge

How can dance connect people? What does the body say that words cannot? The discussion round with the Dancing Neighbours team, Kamenica Musica and the local independent dance scene is intended to be an exchange at eye level: it's about listening, thinking ahead and sharing perspectives.

On the occasion of International Dance Day, a mini-festival on the last two days of April will invite people to dance into spring.
A round of talks on 29 April will open the festival: actors from the Chemnitz dance and movement scene will talk about the role that dance can play as a means of interpersonal encounters. On Thursday, 30 April, movement comes to the Garage Campus. Movement workshops will be offered, including hip-hop, contact improvisation and body percussion. Dance initiatives and clubs will present themselves with opportunities to join in. Late in the evening, the programme includes a sober rave, a party without alcohol and drugs.
