Performance and video screening "What if" with Taiwo Jacob Ojudun

Hannah Schwadron is an American-born writer and professor of dance at Florida State University. In collaboration with Taiwo Odjudun and Illuminatetheatre, the workshop is dedicated to improvisation and movement. After an introduction to improvisational movement strategies that Schwadron calls "Structures for Change," the goal is to explore physical techniques as embodiments of personal and political change.

In a one-week performance workshop on the themes of dance and theatre, participants will explore the performative expression of themselves with the help of various methods, materials, images and sounds. Through the combination of contemporary dance, physical theatre, sound and the fusion of text and other materials, a performance will be developed, which will mark the conclusion of the workshop on July 16 at 6 pm.

Everyone who's interested is cordially invited! You do not need any previous knowledge. You can join the workshop program at any time.

The Kleine Meister will also be in action again at the Operndorf Afrika in the Kunstpalais. After a guided tour of the exhibition rooms, where works by Rahima Gambo, Taiwo Jacob Ojudun, Diana Ejaita and Anja Saleh will be on display, the young participants can get creative themselves. Based on their impressions of the exhibition, they will create their own works in the art studio using a variety of materials, which they can of course take home afterwards.
