[K]OME TOGETHER

Are you passionate about movement and dance? 
Do you want to physically experience dance and not just watch it?
This is the right place for you!

This dance class takes place outside in the open air at the Kampnagel Summer Festival. The musicians and sound artists Fanis Gioles and Elman Mecid accompany this live edition with  various percussion instruments.

[K] ome together means moving together and experiencing your own body while dancing. This inclusive dance class is aimed at people of all ages and especially invites blind and visually impaired people to dance, as the workshop is based on acoustic communication. You don't need any previous knowledge to participate. Whether sitting or standing, slowly or quickly, with the entire body or individual body parts - the focus is on the individuality of each body.

Patricia Carolin Mai

Patricia Carolin Mai produces stage pieces as a dancer and choreographer with production locations at Kampnagel and at K3 - Hamburg, at LOFFT - DAS THEATER Leipzig and at Ringlokschuppen Mülheim an der Ruhr. The focus of her choreographic work is the investigation of the body as a central repository of memories. 2016 - 2019 she developed her trilogy on "bodies in extreme states" with the pieces Ready to Snap (2016), Balagan Body (2018) & HAMONIM (2019). In summer 2019, she accepted Ninety9 Art Company's invitation to Seoul in Korea to work in GAL-GAL on women's self-empowerment in Korean society. For this work she was awarded the "International Choregraphy Award Goyang 2020". In 2020, she explored the limits of her physical performance in the 12-month solo self-experiment KONTROL, questioning cultural normalisations of body and gender. She choreographed ASTERISM (2021) and ANIMA (2022) by multimedia composer Alexander Schubert, as well as the group piece OR (2022) for the Company of the Leipzig Dance Theatre. For the years 2020 - 2023 Patricia Carolin Mai has received conceptual funding from the City of Hamburg and continues with WAHN, UND SO KAMEN WIR ZUSAMMEN and RAUSCH. Eine Revision (AT), she continues her work on the theme of "Practices of Community". In 2023, together with 100 participants and in co-production with Kampnagel and K3, she will venture a look at the history of Tanzwut and complete the trilogy.
