Dance Workshop for school teachers

10 years of PURPLE – if that’s not a reason to celebrate! However, the joy is not only reflected in the anniversary, but also in the selected pieces: in some of them, the audience clearly takes center stage. And that’s a good thing! Taking up space, discovering the joy of movement, participating, connecting with others – dance makes all of this possible.
In this three-hour workshop, we will focus entirely on the joy of movement and the connecting potential of dance. Simple exercises and scores will be taught, leaving plenty of room for your own creativity and inspiring you to integrate more movement and dance into your everyday school life. We will first focus on connecting with ourselves before connecting with others and finding a common rhythm. The focus is on getting out of your head and into your body, moving your body, and experiencing an intense sense of community.
No previous knowledge is required.

The workshop is free of charge and will take place in Uferstudios.
Please register until 12th of January under: workshop@purple-tanzfestival.de
