REMEMBERING AS A METHOD

Based on her artistic process for the dance production re-member, consisting of children between 8 and 9 years and adult dancers, methods will be derived that can be applied directly and at different points in the development of the piece in the choreographic and theatrical pedagogical work with children.

With the help of practical exercises, videos and common reflection, we want to find and remember the existence of invisible resources. In a second step, we will look on how relationships, combinations and references, resources can be infinite and provide a great pool for creativity and material.

Teresa Hoffmann

first studied psychology in Würzburg and New York, then performance studies in Hamburg. She works as a dancer, choreographer and dance mediator. Since 2016, she has mainly focussed on producing dance pieces for and sometimes with young people. For her, the relationship and difference between the worlds of adults and children is paradigmatic of her interest in being confronted with ways of thinking, moving and feeling that she has forgotten or forgotten as an adult. The encounter of strangers of different ages and abilities is a mirror for the fine threads that connect them and for the creative power that lies hidden in these unusual connections.
