To launch the season in April, we are kicking off our new format “Share your Practice” with a dance week led by Anuschka von Oppen.
From April 1–7, she will offer daily open Bodies Travel sessions for all residents and local community members in Libken. Participation is on a donation basis. The exact times will be announced soon, and you will be able to register for individual days.
If you would like to stay with us during the first two weeks of April to work on your own projects and dance with Anuschka, you are welcome to reserve a residency apartment now. Or you can also book single sessions. Just write to aufenthalt@libken.de.
BODIES TRAVEL – Dance class-workshop
with Anuschka von Oppen
“ BODIES TRAVEL, “ is a dance class-workshop for artists of all disciplines, that uses improvisation to unlock new creative pathways. Through a multi-layered physical practice, the body and the imagination travel, allowing the senses to be open and meet with musicality, impulses and space. Rhythm, presence and spatial exploration are at the core of embodied tools that can be applied directly to one’s own artistic process. Movement, sound and play become a way of noticing and utilising the here and now, through states and textures.
The class, “ BODIES TRAVEL”, offered at Libkin´s project and residency space will begin with a dynamic warm-up created by Anuschka von Oppen, which fuses multiple genres, rooted in contemporary and urban dance, improvisation, performance and martial arts. This workshop is accessible to non-professionals and professional dancers, actors and performers. (Class in English/German)
