As an independent dance company, we are constantly creating stage situations – both in theater spaces and in public spaces – and thus create spaces in which we deal with topics that challenge us as a team, the performers and our audience. We try to reflect and live diversity in our productions and actions.
We also want to create safe spaces in workshop situations. This social interaction is based on the willingness to address and resolve conflicts openly. We strive for clear and trusting communication. We therefore also see it as our responsibility to actively protect artists, audiences and participants in our educational programs from discrimination. Viewers and participants are welcome to take an active role; we are happy to have an emancipated audience.
We want to work in a way that is sensitive to discrimination. The basis is always respectful and non-violent communication. We have set out these principles in writing to give everyone involved in the production and process security and clarity. They apply to everyone who works with us.
We understand discrimination to be when a person is disadvantaged, devalued or degraded on the basis of one or more of the following characteristics: gender, physical or mental disability, external and/or (perceived) cultural characteristics, name, ethnic and/or socio-economic origin, religion or ideology, age or sexual identity.
A statement or action is always discriminatory if the person concerned feels discriminated against or attacked by it. Discrimination also works without malicious intent.
Important: The person being discriminated against is not obliged to explain to you what is discriminatory about your statement/action. There are plenty of opportunities to inform yourself and reflect on your own behavior.
When we discuss discrimination, we cannot avoid talking about our own actions and statements. By raising awareness, we want to provide suggestions and ideas on how to avoid (unintentional) discrimination.
A statement can be unintentionally discriminatory. This does not mean that the person is racist, for example, but that the statement is racist. The good news is that sensitivity to discrimination can be learned, but must be practiced. And you can also learn how to deal constructively with criticism of your own misconduct and/or use of language.
Many real-life examples (such as “Girls are better at languages anyway” or “Where are you really from?”) can be found in the comprehensive RESPECT GUIDE from the Intersectional Education Initiative.
As we do not have a permanent ensemble and only have a few productions a year, we rarely have the opportunity to hire new dancers. But you are of course welcome to get in touch. It’s best to sign up for the newsletter, then you’ll be informed about auditions in good time.
