For the dance production “Spiegelneuronen” by Stefan Kaegi and Sasha Waltz & Guests as part of the Tanzplattform Deutschland 2026, we are looking for participants who would like to activate the audience together with professional dancers.

Who can take part?

Everyone! We welcome people of all ages - with or without dance experience. Anyone can take part who is curious and enjoys being part of an artistic production and actively supporting the audience.

What is your role?

As a participant, you are in the center of the action and help to playfully activate the audience through simple movements. You will be guided by dancers and be part of a collective action.

In preparation, you will receive a short video and a short script in advance, which will give you a good insight into the production and your task.

• 11.03.: Rehearsal in the afternoon (from ca. 16:00)
• 11.03.: Dress rehearsal in the evening

👉Please note: All participants must attend the rehearsal, dress rehearsal, and both performances. Participation is unpaid. Insurance is the responsibility of the participants.
