DIVERS!

Future Laboratory Inclusion + Performing Arts in Saxony

In cooperation with LDKS - Landesbüro für Darstellende Künste Sachsen e.V.

Diskurs

What does an inclusive, diverse and participatory theatre look like? How can it be designed & implemented? And how can exclusionary tendencies be counteracted?

On 19 December 2018, the future laboratory DIVERS! will be exploring these questions in lectures, performances, panels and workshops at the European Centre of the Arts in Hellerau. It is less about social work or therapy than about contemporary theatre art on the subject of inclusion.

For the first time, theorists*, activists* and artists* will present their working approaches, methods and experiences on inclusion and performing arts in Saxony for discussion. Viennese choreographer Michael Turinsky, for example, will give a lecture on physical diversity in the field of choreographic composition. Or Gerda König (A 13 tanzcompany, Cologne) together with Jenny Coogan (Palucca Hochschule, Dresden) will focus on the various approaches to diversity in artistic education in a workshop. In addition to a theoretical approach to the inclusive performing arts, performances (among others by Farbwerk e.V. or um(2)räumen by Wagner Moreira & Helena Fernandino) will present sensual and physical approaches.

Coming together

Performance | farbwerk e.V. (Dresden)

In Kooperation mit dem Ensemble El Perro Andaluz und farbwerkwurde im Mai 2018 korrespondierend zur Ausstellung “Rasse” im Hygiene-Museum Dresden das inklusive Konzert- und Tanzprojekt „Coming together“ zur Aufführung gebracht.

Unter der Leitung der Theatermacherin Jacqueline Hamann und der Tänzerin und Choreografin Nora Schott hat ein inklusives Ensemble bestehend aus professionellen Tänzer*innen und erfahrenen Darsteller*innen mit Behinderung auf Grundlage zeitgenössischer Musik tänzerische Szenen zu dem weitgefassten Thema Begegnung entwickelt. Eine Reise durch menschliche Gefühlswelten. Was entsteht aus der Begegnung zweier oder mehrerer Menschen? Wie begegnen sich unterschiedlich sozialisierte Personen? Was entsteht aus der Begegnung verschiedener Körper? Diese Fragen lagen dem Ansatz in der Arbeit zugrunde. Sinnliche Momente, Zärtlichkeit, Ablehnung, Unsicherheit…

Im Rahmen von “Divers!” zeigt farbwerke.V.einzelne Auszüge aus dem Programm.

Lecture Performance | Gee Vero (Leipzig)

Gee Vero was born in Grimma in 1971. She studied English/American Studies and lived in London from 1993 to 2001. Since 2013 Gee Vero has been a freelance artist, speaker, author and bridge builder.

Paul
Lecture performance | Siegmar Schröder (theatre laboratory, Bielefeld)
In this lecture/performance we open up an alternative view of a very special father-child relationship. Siegmar Schröder – artist and father – reflects in his very own way what living together with a child from another star means.
The performance mixes perspectives and elements – sometimes documentary theatre, sometimes drama and sometimes comedy. Videos are shown and stories told, authentically and privately. They give a deep insight into Paul’s world and that of his family, they show the reactions of the environment, they deal with therapeutic attempts, endless legal disputes, successes and failures.

Direction and play: Siegmar Schröder (Theaterlabor, Bielefeld)

3 pm, Dalcroze Room, 60 min.

um(2)räumen
Performance | Wagner Moreira und Helena Fernandino
What happens when two dancers simultaneously – rearrange themselves – rearrange themselves? rearrange(2)deal with the outer, physical and inner psychic space and their relationship to each other. It questions whether evacuation is merely an everyday activity. Why does one rearrange? Sometimes things no longer fit into their old place and a new place has to be found for them. That’s how it is in us. Can we move ourselves and others around?  Here the focus is on arriving, living together and playing together as a continuation of a theme of space.
