AMOEBA
The journey starting from a single celled entity, unnamed, to the process of discovering the being that is Elia Pangaro. Submerged in the everchanging loosing and finding yourself, differently the same as you were yesterday. Underneath the unraveling red jumpsuit of mindless repetition Elia discovers himself, exploring his voice of mind leading to that incomparable certainty, you are you. So Elia begins to see you, connect to you. In embracing who he is and sharing it, he reminds you with a smile, you can be you. Fade from blurry eyes, and focus clear. Connect with energies around you. Find yourself meeting others in this awakening of who we are in a day, everyday.

Jack Bannerman: „Baby Blue“
Originally from Australia, Jack has worked professionally as a dancer in both Australia and Europe for 7 years, dancing repertoire from choreographers such as Bryan Arias, Jorge Pérez Martínez, and Andris Plucis. Jack has been invited to present his first choreographic work “Do you feel at home” for the Tanzplattform Rhein-Main, the Vesuvius Film festival, the Tanz Zentrale der Region Nürnberg, and the Florence Dance festival. His latest and largest work Hello, my old friend, was presented at the Landestheater Eisenach in Germany. Jack is currently completing an MA in Choreography at the Palucca University for dance in Dresden, Germany.
Baby Blue
„The empty handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
The sky too is fallin‘ in over you
And it’s all over now, baby blue“
The solo work Baby Blue elevates the perspective of the viewer, enforcing a feeling of observation and judgement. The work is packaged and presented within the dimensions of a large piece of living room carpet, the performer is now a product of this reality. This reality where their identity can only be expressed through performing in this confined space. The piece is a dance performance, but it also questions the act of performing, and how this ominous pressure can infiltrate our lives, and lead us astray.

Therese Bendjus & Daria Belous: Studies of Softening
Therese Bendjus, originally from Dresden, is a performance artist working, living and studying in Berlin. Her research circles around states of vulnerability, touch and encounter. She is interested in the body as matter and questions the personal transparency during performances.
Daria Belous is a Belarusian-born improvisation movement artist, engaging in performance art, sound design and somatic form. Coming from communication studies and linguistics, her artistic interest is built around the possibilities of materials communicating with and translating into each other. She currently studies at HZT Berlin and works with states of discomfort and loss of control.
Studies of Softening is a performance around tenderness and warmth. A heater becomes our teacher. Is trembling the same as heating? How do we encounter each other in a tender way? We declare softening as strength and wonder where power and fragility meet.
