Kirsten Maar from project B02 and Mila Pavićević invite you to the workshop imagining future coexistence – dramaturgy & choreography as aesthetic and social practices. This is the last gathering in a series of workshops on the relationships and correspondences of dramaturgy and choreography, funded by Fritz Thyssen-Foundation.

How can we develop practices and tools to imagine a future coexistence – between the not-yet and the yet-to-come? And in doing so, how can we go beyond an ableist approach? Our project on the emergence of alternative choreographic and dramaturgical formats asks for a humble position of undoing mastery in dealing with the marginalized and the unknown. It searches for different ways of worlding and puts into question toxic relationalities. In our last gathering we want to discuss those questions in 3 sections: “Practicing the impossible” addresses the interwoven practices of artist-led NGOs and civil society organizations in ex-socialist countries, “dramaturgy and its discontents” asks for the mutual dependencies of institutions, infrastructures and ’indisciplinary’ approaches, whereas the third panel is dedicated to procedures and methodologies which provoke change and emerge in formats engaging in the critical function of fictional approaches.

The event will take place on Thursday, September 7^th 2023 from 1-7 pm and on Friday, September 8^th 2023 from 10 am to 16.30 pm at Studio 1 / Uferstudios, Berlin, in cooperation with 25 Jahre Tanznacht Berlin. The language of the event will be English.
