nora chipaumire :#PUNK 100% POP *N!GGA
#PUNK 100% POP *N!GGA (verbalized as “hashtag punk, one hundred percent pop, star nigga”) is a three-part live performance album inspired by chipaumire’s formative years in Zimbabwe and the energy and rebellion of punk and 1980s New Wave music. Each part explores one of three sonic ideologies: Punk, Pop and Congolese Rumba, which are confronted and celebrated through music artists Patti Smith, Grace Jones and Rit Nzele. Each session exists as a complete statement and can be performed separately (like a single song) or together as an epic song cycle (like an album). Together, the trio paints a sonic and visual landscape, engaging voice, gesture and sound clash installation.

Symposium (for students and teachers)
Updating Dance Education
What does dance education look like today and how can the knowledge imparted within dance studies be regularly updated? Since students and teachers are experts in dance education from different perspectives, the symposium is dedicated to the intensive exchange of students and lecturers in order to develop ideas for an update of dance knowledge.
Where does the training and knowledge living in the dancers body meet the influence and impact of its digital surroundings? How can the next generation of dancers relate to and help shape their relationship to digitalization? Through physical tasks and peer discussions, the dancers and educators will be invited to engage with their embodied knowledge as a means to reflect and investigate their digital landscape and its impact on dance education. From tic toc to socialmedia influencers to understanding the inheritance of a dance legacy via digitalization, participants will be asked to reflect and design their digital dance future.
The symposium is open to everybody interested. If you want to take part, please sign in: tanzbiennale@kampnagel.de

DEBORAH HAY – ANIMALS ON THE BEACH & 3 SOLI
ROS WARBY: FIRE
EVA MOHN: THE MAN WHO GREW COMMON IN WISDOM
DEBORAH HAY: MY CHOREOGRAPHED BODY …REVISITED, 2019
Deborah Hay is one of the most influential choreographers of the USA and was a founding member of the legendary Judson Dance Theater in New York. Fifteen years ago, she developed a programme and a method of collaborative choreography: she writes so-called scores, i.e. choreographic instructions for action, which dancers get to develop further. Deborah Hay developed her new production ANIMALS ON THE BEACH in which she deals with continuity and discontinuity, with five dancers from this solo programme.
Hays dancers dedicate themselves to a new language of movement that does not allow any pictorial conclusions to be drawn and that incorporates the dignity, humour and intelligence of their collaborators.
Christopher Roman and Ros Warby present their solos on the first evening. And on the two other nights Deborah Hay herself presents her new solo MY CHOREOGRAPHED BODY … REVISITED, 2019 as part of a two-part evening with ANIMALS ON THE BEACH.
Funded in the context of the Association of International Production Houses from the German Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media, supported by the National Performance Network Guest Performance Fund for Dance, funded by the German Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.

AK|T Meeting
ABUSE BEHIND THE SCENES
After the first known cases of sexual harassment in 2017, the discussion in the past two years has been significantly more differentiated and the first studies have been published. The focus is not on the specific incidents, but on the analysis of the toxic environment, which makes it possible to cross borders or even supposedly legitimizes them. Among other things, rigid hierarchies, dependency relationships and a culture of silence were identified. After a brief introduction, an AK|T statement should be prepared in an open discussion. For teachers of the AK|T member institutions.

Sebastian Matthias: Participatory Working – Strategies for the Recognition of a Differentiated Knowledge
You have the knowledge. What do you do with it? Pass it on! Considering the concept of sharing knowledge (which is a common ground in artistic work for decades) instead of teaching to unknowing students might change the approach and the contact between teachers and students.
No one can exactly understand the physical experience of another person. Especially in dance, where the subjective body is at the center, it seems to be particularly relevant to engage in collaborative ways of working. Dancers and performers in choreographic processes depend on their own decisions in and with the body. How can a learning practice reflect these needs?
In this workshop, participatory research methods are put up for discussion and questioned about their implicit techniques, role models, body images in order to convey a perspective on how practical, non-institutionalized knowledge can be used. Thus, a cognitive distancing towards well-rehearsed routines, forms of interaction and power relations should be made possible in order to question established understandings and strategies and to be able to rethink dance education.
