nATANDA investigates the potential of dance for personal development, social inclusion and peace-building. Before commencing each youth workshop series, a particular need of opportunities for creative expression is identified. During workshops
nATANDA’s dancers learn about the capacities of social disadvantaged youth, while providing them with unique opportunities to express themselves and gain in self esteem.
Urban Collective:
As a young dance collective named urban collective, consisting of the dancers Ramona Lübke, Claire Wolff, Anja Dietzmann and Ronny Hoffmann, we have taken on the task to bring dance to other places and realize context-related and site-specific plays beyond the usual venue of the theatre. The reference for artistic activities is in particular immaterial space which is being created through human actions and discourses. This site-specific art is structured mobile, multimedial and participatory.
The guest performance "Schrebers Visionen" is a revised version of the original which was premiered in the allotment gardens of Leipzig on the 29th of July. Adjusted to the local conditions of Sri Lanka, we will move the play from the German allotment gardens to the set-up colonial gardens (Viharamahadevi Park) of the Cinnamon Garden and the green districts of Kandy.
Urban Collective is contributed by the Goethe-Institut.
