Open Call! Extras wanted for the dance performance “Sitting is a good idea” by Antje Pfundtner in Gesellschaft

Have you always wanted to be a part of a contemporary dance production and get a glimpse behind the scenes of HELLERAU and the rehearsal process? Then this is your chance!

Apply now until 30 March 2022.

 For the guest performance of the production “Sitzen ist eine gute Idee” by the Hamburg company Antje Pfundtner in Gesellschaft on 22/23 April 2022 at HELLERAU – European Centre for the Arts Dresden, we are looking for as many and as diverse participants as possible, with and without stage experience. 

“Sitting is a Good Idea” is the third and thus last play in a trilogy by Antje Pfundtner in Gesellschaft about time and transience. The other two plays in the trilogy, “ENDE” and “Alles auf Anfang”, have also already been performed at HELLERAU in 2017 and 2019.  

For this production, Antje Pfundtner in Gesellschaft has questioned the choreographic and political action potential of the stand-up movement in advance with many people and has come to the conclusion that sitting is also an important symbol for self-determined action.
