Every Thursday, the Kulturraum Protagon e.V. opens its doors to people from all over the world with first, second or fifth generation migration experience. Together they train, dance, play, research and share their personal experiences as immigrants in Germany and Europe. The actors and educators of the Antagon Theatre lead the artistic process, in which all participants are invited to contribute their own ideas, towards a wandering final performance on 4 August at the Sommerwerft, the international theatre festival on the river.
​

They will work with (dance) theatre, live music, stilts and self-made objects.
A diverse group has already been formed, but is looking forward to welcoming even more people! Come, discover and share with us!
No previous theatre experience is necessary. 
The workshops are open to all and will be held in English, but we will help each other translate into other languages.

Follow/Resist
with Max Büttner (antagon theaterAKTion)
Mondays, 6-20-27th May & 3rd June 2024, 19:00-20:30
Protagon Kulturgelände
When is the moment to follow, to accept a proposal? And when is it better to resist, to create a challenge? In this open training we will explore these questions through exercises of physical theatre and dance. We will use the principles of following and resisting to discover and expand our capacities of physical storytelling, both alone and with others.
In the interplay of expression and perception, action and reaction with one or more partners, we are looking to achieve a state of presence and flow, setting challenges and providing support to each other.
Each 90 minute session begins with a playful warm-up and exercises for the body and (sometimes) voice, and then moves into clearly structured improvisation and composition situations. Techniques are informed by dance and movement improvisation, Grotowski training, Viewpoints, partnering and others. Depending on the group and the session we will put more or less emphasis on either of the following ideas:
- improving strength, flexibility, coordination and permeability
- developing presence and perception through play
- research composition principles in space, alone and with others
- explore creative tools and why they work
- have fun
Come prepared to challenge yourself. We will be poking playfully at the edges of our comfort zones from time to time.

Gaga Dance Workshop

About the Workshop:
Gaga provides a framework for discovering and strengthening the body and adding flexibility, stamina, agility, and skills including coordination and efficiency while stimulating the senses and the imagination.
The classes offer a workout that investigates form, speed, and effort while traversing additional spectrums such as those between soft and thick textures, delicacy and explosive power, and understatement and being over the top. Participants awaken numb areas, increase their awareness of habits, and improve their efficiency of movement inside multilayered tasks, and they are encouraged to connect to pleasure inside moments of effort.

Gaga/people classes are open to people ages 16+, regardless of their background in dance or movement. No previous dance experience is needed.

Dive deep into Improv: Alphonse and the magic box
with Solal Mazet (antagon theaterAKTion)
Mondays, 11.3, 18.3, 25.3 & 1.4. 2024, 19:00 ​(a class takes around 1,5 - 2 hours)
Protagon Kulturgelände
​
This year we will build up on a new set of modules. I was inspired by the theme of this year’s Winterwerft: Losing Ground (Bodenlos). It happens to all of us, sometimes losing a sense of direction, floating between the known and the unknown, the old and the new. Let’s dive deeper into what improv is really about: the love and art of uncertainty. There will still be games and fun exercises like always, but the main goal this year is to really face the stage through internal research around the body and voice, and expressing it through solos. There will also be free-writing sessions. The new format is more accessible to people who don’t go to all the trainings, so they can still progress on their stage presence no matter their skills in improv.
This open training is suitable:
For the ones who always do everything at the last moment since so long that they made it into an art
For the introverts who are so used to be the observer that they lost their own voice
For the childish souls who look for outlets to be free and wild
For the adults who are going crazy inside and want to get out of adulting for just a moment
Pre-requirements:
Before coming to the training, please bring a small text that you loved as a child, for example a lullaby, as well as a bullet point list for each of the 4 modules and their themes. What do these themes feel like to you? What story are they telling? Keep the lists short, maximum 10 words.
List of modules
1. Losing Ground: body in crisis, looking for the axis points
2. Finding Ground: storytelling body, discover your own movement and voice styles
3. Keeping Ground: work on what keeps it all together: the face and stage presence
4. Solid Ground: unapologetic and wild: a touch of crazy child

Find your Latin Body
with Michael Schmidt (antagon theaterAKTion)
Mondays, 20 November 2023, 19:00 ​(a class takes around 1,5 - 2 hours)
Protagon Kulturgelände
​
From theatrical theory we will seek to explore the different qualities of body movement individually and collectively and then advance in the composition in space and its different ways of approaching it to understand how to begin to create choreography with the body. All of this is framed in Latin rhythms and how they react in the body, eliminating the stereotypes of Latin American dances.
Michael is an actor trained in Chile and now a member of antagon theaterAKTion which seeks to explore in Europe how to change the vision of how to work with the body and rhythms in people, all in a playful, conscious and confident way. Everyone is invited to participate in this training, you just need to want to learn and laugh in the process.

The Fluid Body: fusion dance-theater
with Anna D’Errico (antagon theaterAKTion)
Thursdays, 2-9-16-23 November 2023, 19:00-20:30
Protagon Kulturgelände
​
When a moving body is dancing and when is acting? During these sessions we will explore the possibilities of dance and choreographic movement for acting in connection with traditional dance from middle est and the so-called belly dance. Using dance elements from different cultural heritages and traditions (with a focus on North Africa and Mid.East) and principles of physical theater and dance-theater, we will develop short choreographic and personalized movement sequences. The class will include as well a short focus on cultural heritage of world dance in the context of decolonization and the contemporary artistic debate to rethink the fluidity and femininity of the body movement.
​
The work starts with a warm-up using combined techniques from yoga and dance, and continues with body work based on self-perception principles to explore reaction to specific movements, fluidity, separation and disconnection of body-parts, floor work, and it progresses with exercise of fusion dance, improvisation and belly dance. We will deconstruct traditional dance sequence putting them in dialogue with dance-theater
and movement practicing on sequence composition and stage presence.

Impro theatre - Release your inner child
with Solal Mazet (antagon theaterAKTion)
Mondays in October 2023, 19:00-21:00
Protagon Kulturgelände
In this Open Training, games are a very serious matter. They allow you to transform failure into fun, danger into amusement. When we were kids, we used to marvel at everything and say yes to anything.
Through impro theater we have the opportunity to leave the adult behind and create whole worlds solely with our imagination. As we come together in a moment of deep connection with ourselves and others, we nurture our confidence on stage and learn to let go and smile in the face of danger.
Hopefully, when we put our adult hat on again, we notice that we are no longer alone, but always accompanied by our inner child, to remind ourselves that life, is in fact, all a game.

physical theatre - Follow/Resist
with Max Büttner (antagon theaterAKTion)
Mondays in June 2023, 19:00 (a class takes around 1,5 - 2 hours)
Protagon Kulturgelände
​
When is the moment to follow, to accept a proposal? And when is it better to resist, to create a challenge? In this open training we will explore these questions through exercises of physical theatre and dance. We will use the principles of following and resisting to discover and expand our capacities of physical storytelling, both alone and with others.
In the interplay of expression and perception, action and reaction with one or more partners, we are looking to achieve a state of presence and flow, setting challenges and providing support to each other.
Each 90 minute session begins with a playful warm-up and exercises for the body and (sometimes) voice, and then moves into clearly structured improvisation and composition situations.
All levels welcome / donation based / wear comfortable clothes / Language: english
