Anniversary Programme for Families

11.00–12.00 pm | Introductory Workshops for Young and Old

Course A
Brigitte Westkemper: Experimental Dancing in a Duet
 (for children from 5 years with an adult accompanying person)

DANCE + IMPROVISE together… under – on top of each other… human… animal… surprise, support and inspire each other in the creative process.
Sometimes we dance in pairs, sometimes individually or as a swarm. We become tiny creatures and we meet giants – or the other way around. (Course languages ​​German/English)

Course B
Judith Thimm: Sound Adventure
(for all age groups with an adult accompanying person) – Unfortunately already fully booked!

Together we explore sounds and rhythms and immerse ourselves in other worlds by playing with different types of sound generators. We develop rhythms and react to each other. What does rain sound like? What does it sound like when we are happy or angry? We can express all of this with sounds and rhythms: in the sound adventure. (Course language: German)

12.15 pm Family Concert: “Ungewöhnliche Klänge – UngeHÖRige Musik” (Unusual Sounds – Unheard Music)

Concert for the whole family with the ensemble Sarotti Instant

Such strange sounds! But somehow it also sounds like music. But one that is completely different from what we usually hear. In this concert for the whole family, the Sarotti Instant ensemble presents “unusual” improvised music. In “listening games” with the audience the ensemble explores how unusual sounds can be combined to create exciting music.

13.00–14.00 pm | Taster Workshops II for Young and Old

Course C
Zoë Tomruk: Play flow & water vortex with Zoë through movement, voice and speech
(for children aged 6–12 with an adult accompanying person) – Unfortunately has to be cancelled due to illness.

Water can take on many different forms in nature, be it as a calm river, wild vortex or as an element for creative play and improvisation. Let us discover new things together through movement, voice and language and learn from each other. (Course languages ​​German/English/Turkish)

Course D
Aida Shahidi: Sound Lab
(for children aged 5–8 with an adult accompanying person) – Unfortunately already fully booked!

A colorful collection of unusual instruments and sounding objects is waiting to be explored by small and large hands. We listen to the sounds, let ourselves be inspired by each other, create surprising harmonies and invent our own soundscapes. (Course languages: German/Farsi)
