The ponderosa classes and workshops provide an educational container for liminal people questioning their identity as artists and gives the professional another way to retreat or hone ones skills as dance artists. Most of the workshops have some kind of base and or understanding in the art and teaching of improvisation, contact improvisation and somatics. The workshops and classes are grounded in the body and it's discourses. The teachers or facilitators share their practice or theoretical concerns around embodiment. All takes place in Gut-Stolzenhagen, a reoccupied farm and cooperatively run project in germanys smallest national park "Unteres Odertal". Our local village and surroundings hold some of the most beautiful ruins and all around stunning scenery.
