encounter

The piece "Begegnung" (Encounter) explores the meaning of touch, closeness and distance and is a piece with twenty amateur dancers.

The choreography was researched and created collaboratively with a diverse group of people. It focuses on questions about how we perceive and interact with each other in everyday life, and how differently we deal with touch.
