Dance and Paint! Instant composition with dance and painting

 

Saturday, 31 October 2026, 5.00 pm – 7.00 pm

Alert and curious, playful and precise – this is how the magic of the moment is created: Instant composition.

Through the combination of dance and painting, an inspiring evening unfolds in which the various artistic languages interweave, layer, fold, challenge one another and continually surprise and reinvent themselves.
This evening is explicitly not a ‘classical’ performance but an invitation to get involved yourself or to watch as the creative process unfolds in the very moment.
In doing so, we explore through improvisation – in ever-changing constellations and over varying durations – both the communication between the dancers and performing artists and the interaction with the visual artists.

Dear dancers and painters: Come along and dance with us, or paint with us, or watch us dance and paint, or simply switch from one to the other!
And please bring whatever you need. We’ll be setting up a framework with both structured and free-form improvisation, and we’re looking forward to exchanging ideas with you. Please register with us by 28 October 2026 if you’d like to take part by dancing and/or painting. That way, we can prepare everything to suit your needs.

Dear audience: Throughout the evening, you’re free to choose new spots whenever you like, both to discover fresh perspectives on dance improvisation and to experience the various artists at work up close. Just pop along – you don’t need to prepare anything; we simply ask that you register to help us plan better (though spontaneous guests are also very welcome).

After the ‘Tanz Mal!’ sessions, we’ll round off the evening with a warm soup; what you’ve experienced, seen, learnt, danced and painted can all sink in at your own pace.

The paintings and sketches created during the evening will be exhibited on Sunday 1 November 2026 [feel free to link to the other event page!] as part of the Wachsfabrik’s Art Sunday.
