Gab Branco

"BODY POWER - Unrehearsed Int(e)ractions" is full of offers for the dance and performance-art community in Kassel! 🗓 19.-23.05 | Exhibition: 10:00-14:00| Workshops: 16:00-18:00 | Performances at 19:00 / Sat. at 20:00 📧Workshop Registrations: branco.collabs[at]gmail.com 📍Karskirche Kassel This week-event from May 19th until 23rd invites international artists such as Caro Ruoff (NL) and Laura Ahúmada (CL), and local artists and dancers from Kassel. Curated by Branco on the theme of co-autoethnography, their aim is to dwell on the process, on the unseen and not repeatable. Each performative action is unique and lingers in the present, on the encounter of artists that work with autobiography, autoethnography, sensitive listening to each other, choreographic-practices of care, and performative togetherness.
