Berlin dance artists invite you to collaborate, explore, move, pose a question
About the project
Beginning in summer 2021 in, a group of Berlin artists is exploring the site, its history and its collections, and will be inviting Berlin residents in regular intervals to collaborate in their investigations: to not just be the audience, but to be spontaneous witnesses of a public rehearsal, to be workshop collaborators and conversational partners. Regular Open Calls will invite people to join the teams in creating the artistic works.
In a four-part performance series, Moving the Forum addresses a process used to confront the unsettling (re)placement of a building in the city’s center: Approaching critically examines physical and historic journeys to the Humboldt Forum’s new site as well as conditions under which its threshold can be crossed; Listening pauses inside to acknowledge echoes and voices residing there; Inhabiting begins an occupation of new space while addressing who and what was left behind; and Interacting asserts a necessary dialogue with the structures of the institution and the world largely kept outside its walls.
