report of the visit

What I discovered was a new look on the project 18M8L, some new aspects of strength I didn’t realize before. This happened thanks to the look of the local professionals we met […]. This was very relevant to me, as it showed me something I didn’t expect. The co-design of the activities of this week together brought our partner in Leipzig to enhance their local relation with the dance scene in Leipzig.

«Art shows you something else»

Ecopoetry

The feeling that everything
is going toward an end,
It’s a chance to evolve as humans:
We have to be ready to abandon.
We have to achieve
a way to share.
Live together
is the core of our time.
Art shows you something else.
It opens again
the space
to play
to test
to fail
together.
