What happens when a classroom suddenly ceases to be just a classroom?

Tables become landscapes, schoolbooks give rise to choreographies, and everyday movements are transformed into dance. Together with the children, the performance explores the classroom as a place full of possibilities: a space that can change, be rearranged and constantly reinvented.

Drawing on familiar routines such as sitting down, standing up, raising a hand or turning a page, the performers develop surprising movements and fantastical images. The familiar is set in motion, opening up new perspectives on a place that children experience every day.

Playful and full of imagination, the piece invites the audience to question familiar structures and see their own surroundings through different eyes. After all, spaces are not created solely by walls and furniture – they are shaped by the people who move within them. And sometimes, all it takes is a small change to turn everyday life into something completely new.

^{Choreography and dance: Teresa Hoffmann, Venetsiana Kalampaliki
Music: Lovis Determann

Teresa Hoffmann

first studied psychology in Würzburg and New York, then performance studies in Hamburg. She works as a dancer, choreographer and dance mediator. Since 2016, she has mainly focussed on producing dance pieces for and sometimes with young people. For her, the relationship and difference between the worlds of adults and children is paradigmatic of her interest in being confronted with ways of thinking, moving and feeling that she has forgotten or forgotten as an adult. The encounter of strangers of different ages and abilities is a mirror for the fine threads that connect them and for the creative power that lies hidden in these unusual connections.
