START-create cultural change
"Different Pulses" is a dance video about social diversity and inclusive arts.
steptext dance project , tanzbar_bremen, (a mixed abled company) and Angeliki Mitropoulou, worked in a fruitful collaboration during the job shadowing of START program.
"Focusing on different abilities, cultural backgrounds and ages, we formed a group of five dancers with whom we created a dance video. At the studio, our artistic team discussed the notion of diversity within a socio-cultural context. We used directed improvisation as a choreographic tool and we encouraged the dancers to explore their personal movement. The Greek composer Haris Katis composed a piece based on five different instruments. Each instrument representing a distinct
character and dynamics which was uniquely translated into movement by each one of the dancers." (Angeliki Mitropoulou)
The project will be presented at Lagerhaus Bremen and promoted via social media and different websites as part of the cultural initiative “Kyma Project - Inclusive Dance”
