GET IT ON

August not only brings festival hype to Kampnagel, but also a breath of fresh air to the studios: the K3 choreographers in residence for the 2025/26 season have arrived! Gry Tingskog, Inka Romani and Rhys Dennis are starting their eight-month work phase - with ideas, questions, materials and the desire to unpack together.

To welcome them, we invite Hamburg artists to get to know the three of them, exchange ideas and tie their first artistic knots.

But that's not all: six other choreographers from all over the world are currently visiting the studios as part of the international residency exchanges. Among them are: Frédérique PAX Dumas (Canada), Soraya Leila Emery (Switzerland), Gennaro Lauro (Italy), ashelyho+domeniknaue (Singapore/Netherlands), Walter Ruva (Uganda) and Jorge Volpi (Chile). They are joining us - as co-thinkers, co-viewers, co-researchers.

GET IT ON is not a showroom, but an introduction. Two days between workshop, dialogue and open format - for everyone who is interested in exchange, new perspectives and connection.

The event is aimed at professional dance and theatre makers and is free of charge. Please register in advance at tanzplan@kampnagel.de

Gry Tingskog

based between Berlin and Stockholm, makes performances in a collaborative manner, performs, teaches, organizes, writes, makes light design and dramaturgy. Their works combine dance, darkness, textile sculpture, technology and programming to create multi-sensory, immersive experiences. At the centre of their work is the question of how choreographic parameters can be stored in objects and conveyed through touch rather than language. They hold a MA in Choreography and Performance (ATW Gießen) and a BA in Dance Performance (DOCH Stockholm).

At K3, Gry combines technology and spirituality to explore forms of divination in the digital age. They will develop a Fake Astrology and an Oracle Machine as performative tools to communicate with the unknown. Fake Astrology is the study of satellites in an artificial night sky, and the Oracle Machine speculates on (im)possible futures generated by technology. Together with an Artificial Intelligence, they will create a performance for interactive e-textile sculptures and dancers.

Inka Romani

is a choreographer from Valencia whose work weaves movement and artistic research together through an interdisciplinary approach. Her practice explores the intersection of tradition, folklore, and contemporary dance, examining notions of identity, community, and the tensions between past and present through embodied performances. Inka graduated in Communication from the International University of La Rioja and furthered her training at the Centre National de Developpement Choregraphique de Toulouse.

During her residency at K3, Inka continues her research on embodied memory, documentary practices, historical trauma and cultural identity in post-dictatorial societies. Her research draws on the Spanish Dictatorship (1939-1975) regime and the violence enforced on women and queer bodies. Her work aligns with contemporary initiatives to reclaim erased cultural histories and shed light on marginalized narratives through choreographic practice.

Rhys Dennis

is a choreographer, dancer and teacher from London. His movement language is rooted in hip-hop and contemporary dance. He works across disciplines collaborating internationally with artists in music, dance, theatre, film, photography and museums. Rhys co-founded the dance company Fubunation with a mission to create visibility for people of colour in contemporary dance.

During his residency at K3, Rhys will continue to develop the Feasts of Discord project - a choreographic exploration of family crises in Caribbean families. He will work on the intersection of physical storytelling and character development, focusing on how everyday experiences of working-class individuals can be transformed into compelling, movement-driven narratives
