Space for Practice 2026 season starts on 13 April
Space for Practice is a weekly movement practice session that happens every Monday morning between 9 and 11am in the Floating, originally initiated by Sabine Zahn.
This year, the Choreographic Milieu, Alice Chauchat, Clément Layes, Daniel Belasco Rogers, Gabriele Reuter, Ghyslaine Gau, Lea Martini, Paula Kramer and Sabine Zahn are all responsible for hosting.
Space for Practice makes time and space for movement practice with/in the rainwater retention basin of Floating. It is a regular activity with/in irregular conditions such as weather, other activities and the presence of people, beings and materials. It is an occasion for practices to encounter a place, for choreographers to encounter practitioners, for practitioners to encounter the site of Floating and for the site to shape the practices. This year’s edition is convened and facilitated in changing constellations by the Choreographic Milieu: Alice Chauchat, Clément Layes, Daniel Belasco Rogers, Gabriele Reuter, Ghyslaine Gau, Lea Martini, Paula Kramer and Sabine Zahn. We all offer proposals that stem from our respective practices/curiosities and from the site, whilst following each other’s traces.
We start on time at 9 am and all who are present hold the space collectively. There is no need to register and participation is free of charge. All are welcome, regardless of whether you have experience with movement practices or not and are committed to working things out together.
EVERY MONDAY from 9 – 11 am. at Floating University, Lilienthalstrasse 32, 10965 BERLIN
from April 13 – October 12, 2026. We take a break on May 25 and during the summer from July 13 until August 17.
Choreographic Milieu established as Fonds DaKü evaluation
As part of Fonds Darstellende Künste’s evaluation of their funding programmes, Sabine Zahn, Alice Chauchat, Ghyslaine Gau and Dan have been asking ourselves what performance and movement work in the urban environment needs in terms of support.
We feel ourselves part of a connected group of artists with similar concerns, a milieu. In September, we invited 12 other artists to present their work and discuss common issues at the Floating University. The artists invited were: Jason Corff, Paula Kramer, Clément Layes, Sophia New, Katja Münker, Gabi Reuter, Josh Rutter, Karol Tyminski and Siegmar Zacharias.
