The objective is self-evident togetherness of disabled and non-disabled people in cultural projects. Since it was founded, the association has regularly offered courses under the artistic direction of Susanne Schneider, conducts workshops with choreographers from Switzerland and abroad, is active in schools, and organises a biennial festival. Cie BewegGrund has produced a series of professional stage plays which have toured internationally.

Kipppunkt
Duration: 60
Description: Kipppunkt (Tipping-Point)
In this international cooperation, two female dancers, three male dancers and a musician meet each other. The result: a dance piece about imbalance.
On shaky ground, the performers courageously explore the stability of interpersonal relationships. When does the balance of power shift, what does it take for interpersonal relationships to reach the tipping point, and is balance also a synonym for harmony? The performers walk along the boundaries of physical and emotional states as they literally topple from one into the other, always looking for balance.
The power game between animated bodies and music requires resilience and humour from all of those involved and takes you on a journey through personal abysses.
In cooperation with tanzbar_bremen

“In the work of BewegGrund, much is moving – not least the idea of the meanings of dance and disability. There is hardly any better way to express what equality means, and what limits it can break, than the encounter of dancers with and without disabilities.”
Andreas Rieder, director of Swiss Bureau for equality of people with disability
