With LOST BODIES, dancers are re-discovering the public space in Heidelberg after many month of lock-down. For almost a year, there were rehearsals all over Germany, but no more live performances. As a live experience, dance became almost invisible during this time. Now we are back and have something to give. As a three-day live event, LOST BODIES invites people on September 10, 11 and 12 to move through the city and discover art in different places .

Since 2019, INTER-ACTIONS has been at home in a studio near Heidelberg’s main train station. In addition to our own productions, the space serves as a venue for offerings such as the BUILDING ACTIONS movement workshops and as a rehearsal studio for actors from the city’s independent dance scene. What began as a volunteer project and was made possible by a grant from the city of Heidelberg and a sponsorship from the Epple Group is now getting further support from the federal government! We are very happy to be included in the TANZPAKT RECONNECT program for one year with the project “co-exisTANZ: More than a dance studio for the independent dance scene Heidelberg”. The funding will allow us to continue our work during the Corona crisis, to expand our infrastructure, and to find a new studio space when our interim use contract expires in 2022.

Dancing Our Stories is a cooperation project of Migration Hub Heidelberg with Inter-Actions and the Office for Equal Opportunities Heidelberg in the framework of the TikTok funding program #CreatorsForDiversity. The focus is on the body: what stories can it tell through contemporary dance and what experiences are expressed through it? The target group of our project are people who live the diversity of our city, Heidelberg. The project will start in the summer of 2021. More info on how to participate coming soon!
