Accompanying the guest performance of EXPOSURE by the Urban Arts Ensemble Ruhr, Pottporus e.V. is offering a dance workshop for dancers with previous experience and/or professionals under the direction of Rauf Yasit.

Immerse yourself in this intensive workshop with the visionary Rauf ‘Rubberlegz’ Yasit. In his signature experiential format, you will learn tools, patterns and movement principles that are applicable across genres-ideal for choreography and improvisation. Explore selected pieces from Rauf's existing repertoire and learn new techniques, concepts and patterns that will help you move with confidence-whether on the floor, on your feet and hands, or experimenting with new ideas in your own practice. Accompanied by Matt Luck, Rauf and Matt will guide you through their unique partner work, both centred around fundamental principles of fluid collaboration. Expand your dynamic range, refine your coordination and find innovative ways to integrate all of these skills into your own creative process.

Pottporus e.V. (Heimat des Urban Arts Ensemble Ruhr)
The Herne-based organisation has been producing in all areas of hip-hop culture since 2007 and is known for its urban dance pieces in a network of partners from culture, education, science and society. It is one of the German pioneers in the professionalisation of urban art forms and travels worldwide. The productions address social grievances, offer opportunities and visibility to try out peaceful, self-productive cultural techniques and rise above everyday life and marginalisation. Pottporus creates new styles and forms of performance. For its stage productions, legendary dance battles, festivals and projects, the collective, under the artistic direction of Zekai Fenerci, works with urban dancers, renowned choreographers and directors, graffiti and street artists, DJs, rappers, beatboxers and spoken word artists.
