Open Training @ protagon

🤸🏽Find your Latin body Mon. 20th November 7pm From theatrical theory we will seek to explore the different qualities of body movement individually and collectively and then advance in the composition in space and its different ways of approaching it to understand how to begin to create choreography with the body. All of this is framed in Latin rhythms and how they react in the body, eliminating the stereotypes of Latin American dances. Michael is an actor trained in Chile and now a member of antagon theaterAKTion which seeks to explore in Europe how to change the vision of how to work with the body and rhythms in people, all in a playful, conscious and confident way. Everyone is invited to participate in this training, you just need to want to learn and laugh in the process. bring comfortable clothes // donation based

🫧 Open Training – Thur. 2-9-16-23 Nov. 19:00-20:30h Anna D’Errico The Fluid Body: fusion dance-theater When a moving body is dancing and when is acting? During these sessions we will explore the possibilities of dance and choreographic movement for acting in connection with traditional dance from middle est and the so-called belly dance. Using dance elements from different cultural heritages and traditions (with a focus on North Africa and Mid.East) and principles of physical theater and dance-theater, we will develop short choreographic and personalized movement sequences. The class will include as well a short focus on cultural heritage of world dance in the context of decolonization and the contemporary artistic debate to rethink the fluidity and femininity of the body movement. The work starts with a warm-up using combined techniques from yoga and dance, and continues with body work based on self-perception principles to explore reaction to specific movements, fluidity, separation and disconnection of body-parts, floor work, and it progresses with exercise of fusion dance, improvisation and belly dance. We will deconstruct traditional dance sequence putting them in dialogue with dance-theater and movement practicing on sequence composition and stage presence. The class is for everyone, no previous experience is required. Please bring comfortable clothes for body work and a scarf. Donation based.

🤸🏽‍♀️ Winterwerft Co-Laboratory: Bodenlos – Losing Ground Wie kann all denen Stimme und Agenda zurückgegeben werden, Gehör geschenkt werden, denen eben dies im Zuge des Aufstiegs der westlichen Idee von Zivilisation, Modernismus und Fortschritt aberkannt wurde? Wie kann die Klimakatastrophe, mit all ihren Fluten, Stürmen und Dürren, ihren Vertriebenen, Geflüchteten, Ausgestorbenen, auf die Bühne gebracht werden? Welche Lieder und Tänze, Sprachen und Gesänge brauchen wir, die aus den Herzen, aus den Theatern, aus den Fenstern auf die Straßen und Plätze, in die Plenarsäle, geschleudert, gesungen, getragen werden? Vom 29.01. – 11.02.2024 wollen wir uns gemeinsam diesen Themen widmen, uns in Beziehung setzen und mit den Mitteln des Theaters altes und neues Wissen erkunden. All das in einem Co-Laboratorium, eingerichtet hier auf dem kulturgelände protagon in Frankfurt, bei dem wir zwei Wochen lang miteinander trainieren und proben, diskutieren und forschen, musizieren und lauschen, Kartoffeln schälen und das Bad putzen werden. Analog und in einem sicheren Raum, denn hier vereint sich alles, was wir zum Leben brauchen, an einem Ort: Probebühne, Tanzstudio, Werkstätten, Unterkünfte, und vor allem: Gemeinschaft. Unter der Woche forschen und arbeiten wir gemeinsam und öffnen Samstags und Sonntags das Festival für Publikum. Wir werden von Montag bis Freitag jeden Tag Workshops von verschiedenen Künstler*innen und Gruppen aus ganz Europa haben. Darüber hinaus gibt es zusätzliche Zeit für persönliches oder gemeinsames Schaffen mit der Möglichkeit, während der Festivaltage aufzutreten. Dafür suchen wir dich – deine Fragen, deine Ideen, deine Gestaltungskraft. Wenn du dabei sein möchtest, schreib uns eine E-Mail mit ein paar Infos zu dir: Wer bist du? Warum möchtest du dabei sein? Welche Fragen bewegen dich und – möglich, aber nicht nötig – schwebt dir ein konkreter Beitrag deinerseits im Rahmen der Winterwerft vor? Wir freuen uns von dir zu hören, mehr Informationen und Kontaktmöglichkeiten findest du hier: https://winterwerft.de/take-part-2024/

Good afternoon open trainers! Tomorrow is the last impro training of the month. To make it extra special, I will take in account your favorite exercises and go deeper into it. This will of course be improvised, but you can already think about what you want to take away from the four modules proposed. I am excited for our last training together! Sincerely yours, Solal

🌤 Tonight at 7pm on creation and animation Impro theater - Release your inner child with Solal Mazet 7 pm @ protagon Kulturgelände In this Open Training, games are a very serious matter. They allow you to transform failure into fun, danger into amusement. When we were kids, we used to marvel at everything and say yes to anything. Through impro theater we have the opportunity to leave the adult behind and create whole worlds solely with our imagination. As we come together in a moment of deep connection with ourselves and others, we nurture our confidence on stage and learn to let go and smile in the face of danger. Hopefully, when we put our adult hat on again, we notice that we are no longer alone, but always accompanied by our inner child, to remind ourselves that life, is in fact, all a game. Mo. 2.10. on relationship & connection Learn to Listen, accept and to Support each other Mo. 9.10. on spontaneity and playfulness Learn to dare, to discover, to innovate Mo. 16.10. on meaning and emotions Learn to create meaningful interactions Mo. 23.10. on creation and animation Learn to paint with your animation 🤸🏽‍♀️ donation based / wear comfortable clothes / Language: English

☄️ Last time ASHES! On 14.10.23 we will play again in Frankfurt! At the Trauerkirche St.Michael in Frankfurt's Nordend. What remains when only ashes remain? And which forgotten, marginalised songs, dances and rituals can create a narrative about what connects us as human beings? With theatre that needs no words and live music with a band line-up, we get to the bottom of these and similar questions. Come and experience ASHES for the last time this season in the church hall of St. Michael! When: Saturday 14.10.2023 at 7 pm Where: St.Michael, Gellertstr. 37, Frankfurt am Main Admission on a voluntary donation basis!
