A main characteristic of dance as a performative art is its transience, but at the same time it is a profoundly social art form that brings dancers, spectators as well as the choreographer together for a certain time. The aesthetic experience is a process of communication, the repetition of which takes a central role in dance.
9 ensemble members of the Dresden Frankfurt Dance Company spend a year exploring themes such as humanity, society, body and movement, gender issues, feelings, social media and their influence on us, demarcation between the private and the public, and finally life in movement, creating extremely varied works that emerge from the most diverse perspectives.
