Moments of inner expression SATURDAY 01.05. 18h Kastanienallee 77, 10435 Berlin
AMALGAM SoloFest is a platform for emerging and experienced performers to share and develop SOLO works and their creation process. An opportunity to open a dialogue between movement practitioners and stimulate research towards an amalgam of expression methods. Local and international artists gather for an evening of performances, dance, live music, installations, participatory activities and innovative discussion formats somewhere between Butoh and Contemporary Dance.
AMALGAM is a Collective of emerging and established performance artists, drawing on butoh, ballet, break dance, contemporary, martial arts and physical theatre disciplines. Coming together to look at oppositions and similarities AMALGAM creates a space for inbetween identities and combined practices. In a collective process we reject the traditional parameters of performer, audience, theatre standards and artistic stereotypes, questioning where do we belong as nonconforming independent artists and how can we reimagine the cultural space of our chosen home based on solidarity and community building. Life and art are indisputably entangled. Our mission is to bring artistic expression into the mundane and the ordinary.
