In this workshop, the dancer and choreographer Hannah Krebs shares her improvisation archive, which she compiled over several years, with the participants. Ranging from karaoke fantasies to »world building« all the way to approaches of the choreographer Deborah Hay who starts with one solo per day, the notebooks are full of ideas and instructions that Hannah Krebs would like to pass on. The result is an exercise during which everyone can draw up a rough sketch for a solo—in less than two hours!

Let’s go down the rabbit hole! What can you only write? What can you only dance? What would you never google for or in front of someone else? Why not? Will it be different tomorrow? This is a cordial invitation to all who feel like undertaking wild internet research for and with each other! In a second step: A cordial invitation to enter your body into the picture of your research.   Dialogs in teams, a showing of a talk on vulnerability and an exchange on whether vulnerability is cheesy.

In her so-called master class »How to Write an Everlasting Hit,« Juli Monsum provides insights into her own songwriting process and the opportunity to invent a thoughtful hit of one’s own. To this end, the participants are asked to bring a favorite song along in an instrumental version (preferably as MP3) as a source of inspiration.

In this workshop, we will deal with orality and living archives—making recourse to Saki Aslans piece »Retour-Kilams an Kofferkinder.« Orally passing on knowledge in the form of poems, songs, fables, or also gossip is a practice that has always existed across regions, yet is still socially spurned. Oral history or history from below, as it can be found with contemporary witnesses of various diasporic groups or in the history of workers, for example, is still being marginalized in the social treatment of history.
