THROUGH

THROUGH

“Some men have thousands of reasons why they cannot do what they want to, when all they need is one reason why they can” Martha Graham

Open call for non-professional and professional artists (dancers, actors, poets, painters, musicians, etc) as well as for beginners who would like to join in a week of performance workshops culminating in a full production at Die Backerei Culture Center.

The concept of the project “THROUGH” is “Here and Now” and very spontaneous; workshop participants will improvise with a clear score during the performance.

There is small fee for participation.
