Group Session (Un)probable Futures

Practicing Social Change

Hosted by: Charlotte Drath, Jane Dreiß & David Lakotta / planpolitik

While the keynote and panel will strive different questions and concrete projects touching up on how dance can (re-)connect with society and be embedded in social change, the group session will follow concrete topics stemming from this previous input. We will gather in the frame of the world café, where we all meet as international experts, bringing our own expertise. In three to four rounds, we will meet in changing groups emerging from the topics given. What different practices will the participants share and what can we learn from them? What else needs to be addressed? How can and should art react to society and social matters? Proposals, examples, ideas and questions will be collecting in the groups and can later be shared in an informal “gallery walk”.
