Physical introduction

Being a dancer himself, Michael believes it would be an inspiring opportunity to experience physically the topics presented in the film. He will lead a short physical practice session, consisting of 3 group exercises. The practice focuses on body awareness, physical communication and the relation between the body and its surrounding. The exercises do not require dance or any specific skills.
Artist Talk

The artist will introduce the original ideas of the film, its making and its goals before opening up to a discussion with the audience.
He graduated from the Academy of Media Arts Cologne in2013, his studies focused on scenography, applied visual arts and documentary filmmaking. He directs and produces films, experimental video works, performance documentations and involves himself in collaborative visual art projects.
He is the co-artistic director of the Michael Douglas Kollektiv - a unique dance collective that breaks from the standard form of choreographer-led groups and is co-initiator of the Zentrum für Austausch und Innovation Köln, a structure that supports exchange, research and artist development in the field of contemporary dance.
