Shake&Yin

The two creations

Yin

What is female energy? And how does this yin energy manifest ? Taoism teaches of Yin and Yang - Yin is the feminine principle in all of us.
Non binary, queer, trans, female, male.
Characteristic that have traditionally been seen as 'female', are often ignored or sidelined in modern society.
In today's patriarchal society, where masculine / yang traits are more valued, “Yin”, instead, dives into the matriarchal conciousness. With this research we are strengthening the feminine in both our process and praxis.
Qadira, and three performers Magdalena Dzeco, Nica Berndt-Caccivio and Klara Oehler , women of different ages and experience, embody female energy through their movement, which becomes an enriching experience for all involved.

SHAKE
is an intimate rebellion on the sapping and rigid cult of the body. Making the appreciation of the dancers and female body the centerpoint. Working ourselves through various ways of representing the female body while including the capability for a new point of view. Everything will be shaken: Skin, bones, fat, hair, old feelings and unwieldy thoughts. Digging up old habits and addressing personal taboos of movement. Shaking them up and redefining. This ongoing research is performed by Ingileif Franzdóttir Wechner and Magdalena Dzeco.

Anbody who is interested in theatre and dance and wants to support us in what we are doing.

The crowdfunding campaign offers us the oppurtunity to share our working progress with you. This is also a perfect oppurtunity to see how we create and get a look behind the scenes. We are excited about each and everyone who shows interst in our work and supports us.

By supporting us you are supporting young choreographers and the young international dance scene, as well as a collaborative approach to making art.

As soon as we reach our funding goal, we will be able to pay the production costs.
These costs include, the rent for the rehersal space, the payment for the stage technicians and the stage at the venue where we will perform, costumes for the dancers and the traveling costs for our journey to Frankfurt am Main.

It is important to us to pay the artist that we are working with. Our dancers and musicians are investing their time and creativity.
