Touch is change: 11.07.2025, Studio Alte Post Hamburg

What touches people? What affects them? Where can points of contact be used, multiplied, made tangible – or even connected?

Together with other colleagues, Shared Leadership in Dance (SLiD) invites you to an evening where practices of tactile interference are shared and passed on.

The evening moves between tentative thinking and the search for solidaric connections in contemporary dance. At its center are physical and social practices of connecting.

We welcome artists and colleagues who are engaged in cultural-political questions of connection and solidarity – as well as people with and without visual impairments who are interested in touch and dance.

We will gather at Studio Alte Post to let movements, conversations, and encounters unfold – with time, snacks, sensitivity, and plenty of evening sun.

When? Friday, July 11, 2025, at 5:00 p.m.
Where? Studio Alte Post, Kaltenkirchener Straße 1, 22769 Hamburg

SLiD is a commitment to collaboration and to sharing knowledge, resources, and labor in the field of dance. It was initiated by the three choreographers Jenny Beyer, Antje Pfundtner in Gesellschaft (APiG), Ursina Tossi and their teams.

SLiD is funded by the Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg, Behörde für Kultur und Medien.

Text in the picture: A sharing-all-of-our-fears line of losers is moving slowly. The leader is desperately waiting for another participant to touch his right hand and download the enormous fears-coming-from-everybody (s) burden. So far, no sign of a potential NEW leader.
