In DANCE YOUR SKIN COLLECTIVE, ageing female bodies move out of the images they are forced into. Dancing, swimming or head over heels. They topple out of the categories, tremble in their poses, process in solidary choreography along the transitions of ageing. Who and what is allowed to show themselves? What else disappears? The dance performance celebrates the community of different generations and the unique aesthetic potential of ageing bodies. Between standstill and movement, a threatening matter-of-factness flickers out from beneath the surfaces of the skins, constantly escaping the images and taboos we have of ageing.

The audience moves freely through the space with the seven performers, who range in age from almost 30 to almost 80.

SPECIAL: Community Dance Workshop

„the exciting languages of body 60+” is a joint artistic research project on dance art and age between Stuttgart and Munich. Lisa Thomas and Simone Demandt meet the collective moving_SpAces (Andrea Marton and Stephanie Felber) – dance, performance, photography, and video in dialogue.

The focus: resistance, vitality, strength, sensuality, and expertise of the aging body beyond stereotypical images. In addition, an open workshop on the research topics will take place in each city.

Lisa Thomas invites you to immerse yourself in the research process!
