WORKSHOP: Come closer – risking nearness | CircusDanceFestival 2026

In the organizer's words:

In this workshop, we open up an experimental space. Based on mindfulness and mutual consent, we will explore how much structure we need to move in the here & now - to be moved - to move others. As a feminist circus initiative , we question power relations, body images and attributions. Who takes up space? Who initiates closeness? How can closeness arise without reproducing power? How can proximity change the distribution of power instead? Together we will move towards possible answers - in exciting and tender moments between you and us.

No previous experience necessary. Participation also possible with movement restrictions (please contact us if you are unsure, have questions or would like to clarify something in advance for your participation: info@feministischercircus.org)

Please bring or wear comfortable clothing (without zippers/buttons etc.), we will move barefoot or, if available, with slippers/non-slip socks

Max. 15 participants

No previous experience necessary, in German (English possible)
