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.
Moderation: Susanne Triebel

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.

CLAIRE CUNNINGHAM: 4 LEGS GOOD
This lecture performance by multi-disciplinary artist Claire Cunningham explores her artistic practice -specifically the use / misuse, study and distortion of crutches in artistic practice and how they shape her practice. In the widest sense her work has shifted from its explorations about the connection between the crutches and the body – from what is possible in the combination of the crutches with her and other bodies to how the crutches connect her to the world.
Lecture performance in English.
Handicapped accessible offers: the artist’s live audio description is a part of the performance.

Zwoisy Maers-Clarke: Bodies + Politics
In this workshop, we will explore, de-construct, and discuss our politics. These explorations, de-constructions, and discussions will take place in the space between speech and movement. We will start with the naming of some of the political topics and ideas that are on our minds. Then from there, we go into dance improvisation exercises (taken from Zwoisy‘s artistic practice) that draw a bridge between the verbal and movement languages. While we explore how socio-political messages inhabit our bodies daily and how our bodies express them, we will actively listen to one another. In these moments and beyond, we can give support, peaceful resistance, and solidarity to one another. In part of this workshop, touch will be used; physical boundaries will be self-directed and the responsibility of respecting these boundaries will be shared by all.
Teacher: Zwoisy Mears-Clarke

Omar Rajeh: MaQaM – Spaces of Inspiration | The Plurality of the Body
Instead of looking at the body as one entity with one centre, the body represents an interactive relationship of ‘bodies’ giving it its dynamics, presence, and meaning. It focuses on centres of dynamics that could be seen as centres of attention and communication. Creating spaces of inspiration that are framed, mutated, and dissolved in time, is a central concept of this approach. The MaqaM aims to introduce a broader concept of choreography and dance based on inner impulses of presence rather than pure physical forms. Movement becomes an urgency for being and for the generation of meaning rather than for showing forms and exhibiting representations.

Eylül Fidan Akinci: Dance Herstories
What do we think of when we talk about “the” dance history? Whose bodies and movements does this history glorify, and whose does it ignore? Who writes this history, what is their profit in its retellings? Such questions motivate this do-shop. We will first make explicit our preconceptions and accepted narrative of dance history. Then, we will see how we have been locating ourselves in it. Finally, we will devise some criteria for feminist, anti-colonialist, post-humanist routes of telling the multiple stories of dance, and see what kind of motions, shapes, anatomies they might afford to our bodies today and in the future. To achieve these goals, we will practice our improvised writing as well as improvised moving skills.
