SZENE 2WEI
SZENE 2WEI understands contemporary dance theatre to be a medium and a motor for inclusive action. The ensemble works with mixed able artists, people from different cultures, and different professional dance backgrounds. company has evolved since 2009. The main focus is on the artistic work. SZENE 2WEI works towards individual strengths, picking up on potential, creating perspectives and ways of living, connecting and mediating. Networking establishes the basis for an approach focused on process. SZENE 2WEI recognizes dance as being not only a form of art, but also a medium of communication: as possibility to overcome the boundaries between people with different abilities in terms of motivity and ability to communicate.
By purposefully implementing bodily specificities as a medium in dance, SZENE 2WEI aims to achieve a change of perspective: properties that might have been perceived as an impairment now become exceptional skills that expand the radius of dance by their sheer variety. In harmony with the guiding principle of inclusion, SZENE 2WEI creates places of convergence in which people with disabilities can bring to light their creative and social potential and be perceived and valued by society.

TARUN
Duration: 60 min
Description: The first part of the KALA trilogy, the contemporary dance piece TARUN, engages with the concept of normality - and, in accordance with the name KALA (Sanskrit for time), it puts time at the center of its observation.
Normality is bound to paradoxes. It can preserve and hurt, it is protection and judge, incentive and constraint simultaneously - and though seemingly active, it nevertheless remains passive always: a neutral depiction of time, as defined by people and dependent on external circumstances.
To understand normality one has to understand people. The understanding of people is inextricably linked to the time in which they live. Social aspects, religions, traditions and politics influence us, our attitude towards ourselves, our understanding of the world – and it follows, our idea of normality.
TARUN is supported by:
Aktion Mensch, Stiftung Landesbank Baden-Württemberg, Culture office department of the city of Lahr, Association beWEGEnd and Zeit Geist Association.
