Dear companions of the OPEN STUDIOS,

We would like to cordially invite you to three OPEN STUDIOS at Alte Post: On Friday, August 18th, on Sunday, August 20th and on Wednesday, August 23rd!

These OPEN STUDIOS are very special for us - because the host of these meetings will be our Artist in Residence Israel Akpan Sunday. In mid-August we welcome the dancer, choreographer and musician for two weeks in the studio as part of our residency program.

During his two-week residency, „The Fear of the Unknown – Falling Through Places“, Israel will dive into an artistic and philosophical process of experimenting and researching around the topic of the technical, physical, and societal act of falling as a potential concept of migration and its connection to the fear of the unknown.

He invites you to accompany him in this process and to spend time in the studio with him and others on the following dates:

Friday, August 18, from 6 to 8 p.m., WORKSHOP: Creating shared experiences of the physical act of falling through a physical gathering of dancing and singing bodies in the room. Through Israel’s guidance we will engage ourselves via writing, talking, dancing, singing, making music.

Sunday, August 20, from 11am to 1pm, COMMUNAL BREAKFAST:Sunday brunch with coffee and croissants where private conversations and individual stories can be shared.

Wednesday, August 23, from 6pm to 8pm, JAM SESSION: Open Jam Session of dance and music in the room, embracing the unknown. Please feel free to bring your own instruments.

All three OPEN STUDIOS are open to everyone, no prior artistic knowledge is required.

If you would like to be present at all or one of the dates, please send an e-mail in advance to:

We look forward to seeing you!

Israel, Jenny & team
