SUITE (6+)

Would you like to take a school class to see the production? Contact us at tanzplan@kampnagel.de
We are also happy to offer an after performance activities programme, such as movement workshops or guided tours of the theatre.

Music tickles your legs and shakes your bellies. Music makes people jump, stomp, sway and spin. Music finds the ears, flows through the body, fills it up to the tips of our hair. Music is loud and soft. Music is there, even when it’s gone. Music is fast. Music is slow. Our bodies dance with music, to music. Our bodies dance without music. Our bodies make music. In Suite, two dancers and a cellist invite children to experience, dance and enjoy music together. They open themselves to the stories, images and emotions that music can trigger in the dancing body. What is being played are Johann Sebastian Bach’s famous cello suites. What do you hear when you move? How do you move when you hear?
