For our silver anniversary, ahem, for the 25th edition of the LUCKY TRIMMER Tanz Performance Serie, a promising compass guides us through new perspectives and unexpected delights on the course of our voyage. From the poetry of movement to the powerhouse of flamenco, we follow the flight of Icarus and ponder the meandering of all or nothing. This year we celebrate the east, the south, the west and the north just in time for the seasons to change. LUCKY TRIMMER #25 welcomes a broad horizon and understanding for all those willing to join us on our quest.
On the occasion of this year’s special anniversary, we welcome Alain Platel as the patron of LUCKY TRIMMER #25. In our thrive to inspire, this master mind of the art world is invited to share his thoughts, views and artistic wisdom about the creations featured at LUCKY TRIMMER with the artists and audience alike, offering an outside perspective from an experienced maker.
And there’s more…
Alongside the Tanz Performance Serie, the LUCKY CHANGEMAKER recipient Simone Sistarelli will host the workshop “POPPING FOR PARKINSON’S” and share his practice in the Hochzeitssaal of the Sophiensaele. In his classes Sistarelli uses the Popping dance technique as an innovative therapeutic tool towards improving the physical condition of people affected by Parkinson’s disease. The workshop, held on April 14th & 15th and free of charge, embraces our LUCKY motto Dance is for everyone! and showcases that everyone despite motion disorders can benefit from dancing. For more information on registration and conditions, please visit Popping for Parkinson's.
Moreover our 2016 LUCKY CHANGEMAKER recipients will present their socially engaged artistic projects at the LUCKY SUMMIT #8 held on Saturday April 15th, 2017. This year the symposium will focus on art’s social dimension, cultural responsiveness and responsibility as well as how artists use their practice as an innovative conduit for social cause to create positive and meaningful changes.
