The Art of Community
Konrad-Lunch
The Alliance of International Production Houses has not only been specialising on the international performing arts for the last ten years but also on local artistic strategy. In urban neighbourhoods, on-site networks and in collaboration with self-empowering communities, a diverse and viral communal art emerges. At The “Claiming Common Spaces” festival in Düsseldorf, the Alliance members and their partners invite the audience to an encounter.
A cozy time out with neighbourly encounters and cooperative talks. That is the idea of the neighbourhood lunch, as it takes place at Essen-Katernberg’s WerkStadt. The participants carry the lunch’s spirit onto the KAP1 Forecourt where the FFT invites the audience to lunch at irregular intervals. Together, at noon, we invite you with the opportunity of meeting more of the quarter’s residents and actors, to engage in conversation about commonalities and challenges. You can get acquainted with the concept of the Arbeitskreis Kunst und Soziales (Art and Social Circle) in Essen-Katernberg.
Total duration of the The Art of Community event: 5 hours.
Seating
Two benches are available for seating; otherwise, the event is primarily standing.
Calm room
A calm room is available in Studio 1 at tanzhaus nrw. You can use it if you need a moment to yourself away from social interaction. The room has beanbags, cushions, and space to lie down. Please note that the room is not soundproof, so you may hear some noise from outside. Earplugs are available in the room if you need them.
