Spacebox involves you in a choreography with your city!
DAS PLATEAU has been offering contemporary dance classes since 2015 and is developing Spacebox, a workshop format for and about urban space, for the first time. Anyone who wants to explore urban space through dance can participate. Accompanied by professional dancers, choreographic works are created that are shown publicly at the end of the workshops.
With SPACE_BOX DAS PLATEAU dedicates itself to a special area of contemporary dance art, site-specific dance choreography, for and around urban space.
As part of the festival, SPACE_BOX offers a site-specific dance workshop, for all dance enthusiasts who want to explore their urban environment through dance. Accompanied by professional dancers, choreographic works are created, which are shown publicly on the last day of the workshop.
In Frankfurt and Hanau, SPACE_BOX forms two workshop collectives for this purpose, in order to jointly develop a choreography under a specific aspect and in interaction with places and spaces in the city.
All dance enthusiasts who are interested in exploring their urban environment through dance can participate!
An early registration is required, as well as participation in all four workshop days.
Dance Workshop I: Being One- Movement and Architecture
WITH: Ewelina ZielonkaLOCATION: Auditorium of the Deutsches Architekturmuseum FrankfurtTERMINES: Thu, 6 + Fri, 7 September, 17:30 – 20:30 & Sat, 8. + Sun, September 9, 14:00 – 17:00Showing on Sun, September 9, 2018, 6 pm (meeting point Architecture Museum Frankfurt)
What does it mean to engage completely with a place? To experience it physically and through all the senses and to try to become a part of it?
Ewelina Zielonka will dedicate the first choreography workshop to the idea of becoming “one” with the chosen places.
As part of her master’s thesis, Ewelina developed an artistic score (set of rules) that enables participants to approach public space with heightened senses. Building on the sensory perceptions of hearing, seeing and feeling, it creates access points to the development of movement in a place, for example, through the texture of a place.

Dance Workshop II: Being Here – For a Moment
WITH: Jorge Bascuñan
Location: Begegnungsstätte Freigericht, Alfred-Delp-Strasse 8, Hanau
TERMINES: Thu, 20 + Fri, 21 September, 17.30 – 20.30 & Sat, 22 + Sun, 23 September, 14.00 – 17.00
Showing on Sun, 23 September 2018, 18 clock (meeting point Brothers Grimm Monument/Market Square)
How many of the bodies moving around the city are actually present?
Is there only the destination and not the path in front of our eyes? How much of our attention and presence is online while we are in public space? Jorge Bascuñan wants to interrogate in his performance development the theme of “being present in public space.
On a physical level ways to interact will be tried out: avoiding, connecting, hiding and confronting. From this, dance encounters will be choreographed, bringing the bodies into the moment of happening.
Language: English (German translation as needed)
