«encounters»

October 11 – 25, 2022
SaalX, Freiheitshalle, Schwere Reiter

As part of the performance series “encounters”, we will be showing various works by artists from Germany and abroad who, by working at the interface with other art disciplines, are exploring new ways of interacting with the audience. The invited artists work choreographically at the interface with other disciplines and methodologies. They use the body as a space for socio-political questions and stand for a progressive artistic development in contemporary dance.

Guest performances and performance series with inter-/national artists and companies, as well as residencies for and with inter-/national artists create space for creative work, cultural exchange of know-how, encounters and networking. For Munich and Bavaria, the presentation of guest performances and the realization of residencies are an essential component and important prerequisite for a lively and constantly developing contemporary dance and performance scene. In addition, research and theory as well as formats of cultural communication are important fields of action in which a scene can examine itself with regard to interdisciplinary spaces of possibilities and new discourses.

With the depARTures series, JOINT ADVENTURES presented for the past four years choreographic works, as part of ACCESS TO DANCE and with the support of various cultural institutes, that built bridges to other art forms and thus expanded the possibilities of dance and performance.
