This workshop is intended for daring creatives from all areas of the performing arts (performance, dance, theatre, music) as well as visual artists and experimental crossovers.

Please bring some of your own ideas about the theme »autumn crocus«, especially concerning the topic of crossing over (e. g. a text, photos, videos, sculptures, an elaborated series of movements / gestures, an instrument, a song). The creative ideas will be tried out and implemented scenically or gesturally within a choreographic framework. The results will be shown in a public presentation to an audience.
