For over 40 years now, Petra Lehr has been working as a choreographer and dancer with great enthusiasm. Age and physical changes are no hindrance for her but a source of inspiration. Especially contemporary dance, with its variety of approaches, is ideal for connecting with different movement abilities. In a two-day workshop, which is exclusively directed to people over 60 with and without dance experience, Petra Lehr introduces participants to the basics of contemporary dance. After a relaxed warm-up, which will strengthen and mobilize the body, elements such as dynamics, rhythm and contact will be explored and movement potentials expanded.

In her new piece, Cyberexorcism, choreographer and dancer Núria Guiu puts the world of TikTok on stage, and gives volume to the moves and movement mechanisms trapped in the two-dimensional onscreen world. The piece was developed with a group of TikTokers from Barcelona, where the choreographer lives. In a workshop preceding the performances of Cyberexorcism in Frankfurt, Núria Guiu invites people of all ages (between 10 and 60) and backgrounds to explore the transfer from digital to analogue, from 2D to 3D, from the net to the stage. All participants need is love of dance and a willingness to play and communicate.
During the workshop Núria will briefly introduce her way of working in Cyberexorcism, and then introduce various methods with which participants can experiment and become part of the creative process. Workshop participants are invited to participate (if they are interested) in part of the performances on Nov. 3 and 4 in the Frankfurt LAB.
The workshop is supported by the General Director of Books and Reading Promotion (Spanish Ministry for Culture and Sports) and in part by a grant from Acción Cultural Española (AC/E), a state agency, in the frame of SPAIN – Spilling Creativity. Guest of Honour Frankfurter Buchmesse 2022.

How do people with different abilities and different ages get moving together? How is shared action possible for this group? Jan Martens is one of the leading choreographers in Europe. His piece any attempt will end in crushed bodies and shattered bones, which will be presented at the Tanzfestival Rhein-Main on November 12, explores together with a heterogeneous ensemble the relationship of dance to the political crises of our time. In a two-hour workshop, dancers from the piece share Jan Martens' working principles and invite you to explore possible forms of democratic choreography.
