The TQW Winter School is a festival and conference, experiment and discussion, located between theory and practice. This year, under the title Dance Class, it devotes three days to classism in contemporary dance and performance art.

Fri 12. until Sun 14.01. 

Classism affects who practices dance and who has access to training, career opportunities and networks. Classism affects what aesthetic criteria are used, what forms are represented on stages and what forms are absent. Classism affects how dance and performance practices are shared and with whom. Classism affects how we work, how precarity intersects with the socio-culturally legitimised work of the artist, which jobs are undervalued and invisibilised. "Dance Class" invites theorists, artists, curators, artist-researchers, activists, and audience members to navigate affective and pragmatic, strategic and radical, transformational and reformatory responses to classism in dance and performance.

Each day starts with a workshop, followed by a symposium in the afternoon, and lectures, discussions, performances, and DJ sets in the evening.

Workshops by Livia Kojo Alour, Josephine Findeisen, Tomislav Medak

Symposium presentations by Miriam Althammer, Alice Baldock, Katie Beswick, Hannes Bohne, Anna Chwialkowska, Susie Crow, Ellen Jeffrey, Elena Novakovits, Priyonnath Manna Bustee Community Kitchen (Joyraj Bhattacharjee, Srabanti Bhattacherjee, Sandra Chatterjee & Arko Mukhaerjee)
