FolkTranceParty – some 10 hours of dancing, making music and communicating, and not even noticing how late it gets. A ritual in constant renewal through the input of the involved artists, but also every joining visitor. Simon Mayer / Kopf hoch work for FolkTranceParty with movers, sound producers, light influencers and psychologically gifted human beings, and look forward to all those who want to test their dances and their sounds for sustainability over an intensive weekend. And with luck, start a new artistic and transformative journey, in which we will find folk dance and folk music as well as the ecstatic Body. Let’s celebrate and explore the transformative power of party!
Please note: the workshop takes place on Sat 04 August 13:00–18:00 and on Sun 05 August 12:00–17:00!
