Tanz mit mir! Spoiler...
So I get the question what is “Tanz mit mir!” actually? And perhaps to answer it, I’ll give a short description.
Warning: Don’t read any further if you want a surprise…
“Tanz mit mir!” starts by collecting the audience together (outside the Schloss - German for palace/villa) where a dancer/actor starts a series of games with the audience moving them, placing them, attempting to have them to move in various ways. The audience is then split into 4 groups that then enter the Schloss itself.
Each group is sent to a different room inside the Schloss where a dance experience awaits. The experiences are are a mixture of participation and performance - an offer to participate to move in a simple way which anyone can easily achieve. The participation element captures the essence of the dance presented which - its atmosphere and the moment. This is expressed without words. The second part part of the experience is an immersive performance where inspiration can be found as to where the dance can go. This happens all around at various stages in the sequence.
The audience is then lead from one room to the next. The evening concludes with all the groups being brought to the entrance where a live band is playing and together together they have the opportunity to move freely to live music (and the bar is just around the corner).
“Tanz mit mir!” the interactive immersive dance evening!
