Press release

Created in the 1970s as a creative alternative to poverty and violence, urban dance today sets new contemporary dance impulses with its scene-specific forms of expression in music, art and dance. The focal points of the urban scene have always been the combination of music and movement, acrobatics, illusion, flavour and "flow". DIALOGIC MOVEMENT continues this tradition with the aim of bringing contemporary and urban dance closer together.

Choreographers*, performers*, musicians*, video artists*, programmers*, and visual artists*, who work at the interface between urban and contemporary dance, are invited to present their interdisciplinary work and exchange ideas. The spectators* have the opportunity to experience the interaction and symbiosis between these two cultural developments directly. The format inspires dance, arouses curiosity, clears up misunderstandings and celebrates a contemporary understanding of urban culture. Commercial trends are abolished and a context is created that invites to experience dance far away from the mainstream as a major cultural event.

The format is curated, moderated and danced every second month by choreographers Niels "Storm" Robitzky, Louise Wagner and Raphael Moussa Hillebrand. Short pieces or excerpts on certain topics are shown and discussed, as well as the career of the respective artists* are presented and illuminated in its current context.
