This workshop is aimed at university students, teachers (especially secondary school teachers) and those interested in dance, music, sports, and theatre – all levels are welcome and no dance education is required. The focus is on the question of how to develop your own dance piece with a school class. Body-conscious perception, group dynamics, methodical steps for dance design are explored and discussed. Contemporary dance techniques are used to create movement patterns based on topics and music suitable for young people. Inspired by movement games, improvisation, and partner or group activities, new choreography is designed for different age groups.

After their 2024 workshop, Petra and Astrid are returning this year with new content.

The workshop will be taught in both German and English.
