„This time, it wasn't a word that began things, but two images: a quadriga as a symbol of power and the game known in German as „Journey to Jerusalem.“. What is power? How is it demonstrated and negotiated? And Who has a place in the room, or is expelled from it? And what do belonging and membership have to do with it?
Caught between these two poles, we started our research in the studio. A new journey of discovery with Alfred Quarshie and Tamara Rettenmund, both long-time dancers with the FORWARD DANCE COMPANY, the guest dancer Shmuel Dvir Cohen and the choreographer Ofra Idel. Two and a half weeks of work confronted us with ourselves and showed us that what is created in the studio is not detached from the world.“
Gustavo Fijalkow, Artistic Project Manager of FORWARD DANCE COMPANY

Round Table: Dance – Dementia and Parkinson’s – Practice, Research, and Training„

The TANZ | MODERNE | TANZ Center Chemnitz team is planning on June 25, 2026 the first roundtable on the topic of Dance, Dementia and Parkinson's.
As part of the TANZPAKT funding, the center is placing a special emphasis on this topic. Studies show that dance can have a very positive impact on people with dementia or Parkinson's, including on mobility, coordination, self-awareness, and quality of life.
The Round Table brings together professionals from Practice, research, and education together to exchange experiences, discuss current findings, and open up perspectives for the further development of this field of work.
Together with expert colleagues, we are dedicating ourselves to three central themes:
Practice - What course formats and methods have proven effective? What approaches are meaningful and sustainable for participants? What formats can be realized in Chemnitz?
Research – What is the current scientific understanding of dance and Parkinson's? What findings can be applied to projects and initiatives in Chemnitz?
Training and further education – What are the qualification pathways for dance professionals? What prospects open up, especially for dancers who want to explore new fields of work at the end of their stage careers?
One internationally staffed panel is invited to contribute different perspectives and experiences from practice and research.
