Dance Well | Yolanda Morales
RHYTHM OF OUR LIVES
Rhythm is everywhere: in the leaves blowing in the wind, in the footsteps of people on the street, in our hearts. Inspired by this, participants of the Dance Well Club dance together, under the guidance of choreographer Yolanda Morales, in their first stage production- exploring the rhythm of life. Songs selected by the participants and their voices form a tapestry of sound that sometimes accompanies an individual, sometimes the whole group on stage.
As one of K3's club programmes, Dance Well Club is part of the Dance Well practice and research project on dance and Parkinson's disease. Together with five other European dance venues, K3 has been incorporating dance into its programme since 2023.
Audience discussion after the performance on 25 January. Moderated by dramaturg Monica Gillette in conversation with Roberto Casarotto, the initiator of the project, the neurologist Mr. Dr. Hauptmann, the choreographer Yolanda Morales as well as participants of Dance Well.
Before the performance on 25 January, there will be an Open Class Dance Well from 14:00 - 16:00 for anyone interested.

Yolanda Morales
(Hamburg), born in Chiapas Mexico, is a choreographer, dancer and performer. She trained in dance in Mexico and completed a Master's degree in Performance Studies in Hamburg. Her projects in Hamburg have been developed with K3, Lichthof Theater and MARKK - Museum am Rothenbaum, among others. In her choreographic works she deals with imaginative bodies in utopian and dystopian spaces that are interwoven with current political and social realities. Her productions have been invited to HundertPro Festival at Ringlokschuppen Ruhr, OUTNOW! Bremen, EPICENTRO in Oaxaca (Mexico), IAPAR Festival in India and Hauptsache Frei in Hamburg.
Inspired by the worldview of the Amerindian peoples in relation to nature Yolanda will research how to remember still existing landscapes that are in danger of extinction. She will explore and celebrate a North German moorland landscape, an ecosystem threatened by destruction. There she remembers herself as a being with multiple subjectivities, able to relate with other elements on nature.
