Meeting point: Gerhard-Iversen-Hof, 28195 Bremen.
Duration approx. 2 hours.
Bremen-based artists Maria Arzt, Anne Krönker, Bubu Mosiashvili, and Doris Weinberger, together with Hamburg-based director, dramaturge, and performer Liz Rech, invite you to a public rehearsal of collective movement. This follows their exploration of a Marching Manual, which aims to record and independentize knowledge about collective forms of movement in public space. It explores the question of how we can move together as a collective body in public space and develop experimental choreographies that oppose a discriminatory and racist public space.
Based on their work on and with this manual, the participating artists will explore, both collectively and individually, what performative bodily practices might look like in order to create spaces for solidarity in public space. Together with them, we will move through Bremen and learn about and explore performative techniques of gathering at various locations.
