Conjunctio – a choreographic workshop presentation by IPtanz

/ by and for people of all visual abilities, with audio description and a tactile tour.

 

Saturday 25 July 2026, 3:00 pm

An event as part of the Barnes Crossing anniversary year 2026

Memory is not an archive, but a movement of images, feelings and traces. How does memory manifest itself in the body beyond the visual? A diverse ensemble of sighted, blind and visually impaired performers explores truth, perception and transformation. Conjunctio conceives memory as a living process. The open rehearsal at the end of the first rehearsal process invites you to encounter this fragile fabric and engage in conversation.

An AUDIOFLYER is available in GERMAN here.

What remains once a moment has passed? Conjunctio—a choreographic workshop presentation by IPTanz with and for blind, visually impaired, and sighted people. On July 25, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. at Barnes Crossing, Industriestraße 170, Cologne-Rodenkirchen. Barnes Crossing is accessible via Line 16 to the Michaelshoven stop; a pickup service will be available at the stop starting at 2:30 p.m. After the presentation, there will be time to discuss the experience.

Due to limited seating, we ask that you register in advance by calling 0157 57930117 or emailing karten@ip-tanz.com. Admission is free. Assistance dogs are welcome and can be looked after in the foyer.

Conjunctio was funded by the Ministry of Culture and Science of North Rhine-Westphalia and the Cultural Office of the City of Cologne. IPtanz is funded by the Rheinenergie Foundation for Culture.

James Wilton Dance Intensive

Join JWD artistic directors James Wilton and Sarah Jane Taylor for this two day research intensive in Cologne.
 
20+21 June 2026
 
12.00-18.00 each day
 
 
 
Info & registration:
 
Join James Wilton Dance for this professional level research intensive towards our new full evening group work LOKI for touring in 2027. The intensive will be led by artistic directors James Wilton and Sarah Jane Taylor.
 

Cost: £300

Early bird discount (book before 20/05): £250

 

 
What you will learn:
 
Each day begins with a technique class learning our floorwork technique. Learn to move with athleticism and power whilst retaining a sense of expansiveness, breath and quality. You will upskill with new tricks and flips, but more importantly you’ll learn how to integrate these seamlessly into choreography.
 
After this you’ll learn a new phrase from our 2027 work LOKI. Tribal, primordial and energetic, the phrase will tap into our ancestral bodies, leading you to be part animal, part human and part Norse god.
 
The afternoon concludes with duet based research. Working with a partner you’ll learn our martial arts inspired contact work that focuses on remaining strong yet mobile, fluid but powerful.
 
We will be auditioning for LOKI Autumn 2026.
