How do people get into storytelling and who listens to them? Which (life) stories are heard and which voices are drowned out? How do we give space to those who are often rendered speechless? And how can we reinvent storytelling as an age-old custom between people?

Since August 2024 we are creating an open studio for art and movement in the Nachbarschaftsetage of the BOB CAMPUS. Here we are exploring how we can deal with our own stories in a self-determined way and express them through painting, photography, dance, video and sound technology. This creates a free space for creativity, individual decisions and togetherness. During the regular Sunday sessions, the children work together on a final performance, which will be presented on 23.03.25 and 30.03.25.

The painter, dancer and choreographer Milton Camilo, the media artist Nara Bak and other artists will lead the workshop and enable an encounter with different media and art forms. The workshop is organized by the Pina Bausch Centre, BOB Campus and Dunua e.V.
