Saturday Night with Aloe Blacc, Cassy and Urbs & Cutex

Saturday Night keeps up the high spirits while changing up the sound: the Viennese beat producers Urbs & Cutex, silent for over two decades, have returned with a terrific new album – HipHop, TripHop, downtempo.

New Workshop Add-ons

The demand is great – and the joy of dancing even greater! As of this week, there are three new add-ons in the workshop programme. In his workshop Commercial Contemporary Jazz, Christopher Matthews creates space to unlock one’s full creative potential through movement and improvisation. Those who want to explore their bodies in more depth can do so with Kerstin Kussmaul’s Psoas Connection – Experiential Anatomy. This course focuses on the deep muscle structures and invites you to discover new ways of translating inner awareness into movement. And with Conny Aitzetmüller, things get sensual, vertical, and dynamic! The physically and creatively demanding class Contemporary Pole offers room for experimentation.
