Elastic thoughts and deep moves

TalkDance is a series of experimental and participatory gatherings where conversation and dance take center stage. As a participant, you are invited to discover new ways of communicating, as your conversation partner suddenly becomes your dance partner. These gatherings explore a new form of togetherness beyond social conventions. By alternating between talking and dancing at a set rhythm, participants explore the connection between body and mind, vulnerability and expression, discomfort and humor.

Initiated by Luna Maurer, together with her musical partner, Simon Wald-Lasowski

TalkDance Gathering is an open-source format, for everyone to host. Contact me if you are interested or have further questions.

The first gatherings took place during the exhibition We Can Talk About Something Else – an exploration of both the vulnerability and the pleasure of conversation.
