AND SO WE CAME TOGETHER
Imagine a couple dancing: two people who are neither the same age, nor are they particularly familiar with one another, nor do they know much about each other. It doesn't matter, because two people and their two bodies form the smallest unit of meeting. Where are their points of contact?
Patricia Carolin Mai's new piece questions this brief moment of encounter: Do I need dance to touch my counterpart? Or vice versa: Do I need touch in order to dance with my counterpart? Drawing on the tradition of partner dances, the Hamburg choreographer's group piece is about exploring the desire to want to touch each other in dance, as well as claiming the right for oneself to touch and be touched. For the third time in a row, Patricia Carolin Mai is working with a large group of dance enthusiasts from Hamburg of all ages, whose very personal, different views of the body and intimacy is sought out.

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.
