Open Call: Participants wanted for "Spiegelneuronen"

For the dance production "Spiegelneuronen" by Stefan Kaegi and Sasha Waltz & Guests as part of the Tanzplattform Deutschland 2026, we are looking for participants who would like to get the audience moving together with professional dancers.

Who can take part?

Everyone! We welcome people of all ages – with or without dance experience. Anyone who is curious and enjoys being part of an artistic production and actively supporting the audience can take part.

What is your role?

As a participant, you are at the centre of the action and help to playfully activate the audience through simple movements. You will be guided by dancers and be part of a collective action.

In preparation, you will receive a short video and a short script in advance, which will give you a good insight into the production and your task.

11.03: Rehearsal in the afternoon (from approx. 16:00)
11.03: Dress rehearsal in the evening
12. & 13.03.: Short rehearsal on each performance day (from approx. 17:00)
12. & 13.03.: Performances at 20:00 - 21:20

Important: All participants must attend the rehearsal, the dress rehearsal and both performances. Participation is not remunerated. Insurance is the responsibility of the participants.

Clothing & what to bring

Light-coloured clothing (so that you are clearly visible) with a trouser or jacket pocket or a small bag
A mobile phone with torch function (to be used briefly as a torch)

Curious to find out more?

If you would like to be part of a professional dance production, gain new experiences and activate the audience together with others, we look forward to your participation!
