Connection Dance Center
>> on the 5th of december 2021
Was ist das Connection Dance Center?
Das Connection Dance Center ist eine intensive Bildungsreihe, in der Choreographin Mónica García Vicente, unterstützt von Gastlehrer*innen aus allen Bereichen der Performance-Kunst (Tanz, Musik, Dramaturgie, Schauspiel, Beleuchtung u.a.), 10–16 jungen Amateur-Tänzer*innen die Möglichkeit bietet, in einer professionellen Umgebung zu arbeiten und die Routine und den Alltag einer Tänzerin/eines Tänzers zu erleben. Das Angebot richtet sich an tanzinteressierte Menschen, im Alter von 15 bis 27 Jahren, die eine bunte Gruppe bilden, mit Diversität an Tanzstilen, (Lebens-)Erfahrung und Herkunft. Das Connection Dance Center verbindet im angedachten Zeitraum von Februar bis Mitte Juni (jährlich, 2022 sowie 2023) die unterschiedlichsten Bereiche und Facetten des Berufs einer Tänzerin/eines Tänzers.
Für die Teilnehmenden werden wöchentliches Training und Proben von Mónica García Vicente angeboten. Diese Proben führen zu sogenannten Mikroperformances an verschiedenen Orten der Region Hannover mit breit gefächertem Publikum. Parallel dazu könnten die Teilnehmenden durch Hospitationen in Kultureinrichtungen der Region (Staatsoper Hannover, LOT Theater Braunschweig, Felix Landerer) die Arbeitsweise an bestehenden Häusern und Companien kennenlernen. Für vier Tänzer*innen wird die besondere Chance geboten, an der nächsten professionellen Produktion von Mónica García Vicente mitzuarbeiten. Das Center gibt den Teilnehmenden so Impulse zur Professionalisierung und beruflichen Orientierung. Gleichzeitig entsteht ein Inspirationskreislauf zwischen den Teilnehmenden und der Choreographin, eine Ko-Kreativität zur Entwicklung von Visionen und deren künstlerischer Umsetzung. Die Teilnehmenden schließen das Projekt zusätzlich mit dem Zertifikat „Kompetenznachweis Kultur“ ab.
