Connect with your freedom.
Whether you love dancing or think you can't dance, everyone is welcome here! At Animal Vibes, we celebrate dance as an art form and a form of expression; pleasure, fun, and discovery are our priority.
The map of the 5 Rhythms® is our foundation. Sound as a landscape moves us through Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness®. We find our grounding, enter into expression, let go, become light and still. We connect with our animal powers, experien
ce our bodies playfully, and enjoy dance as a journey to our sources of strength.
We, Chrissi (Yoga & Somatic) and Josefine (Dance & Choreography), look forward to accompanying you mindfully, playfully, and enthusiastically on this self-discovery.
To make the event as inclusive as possible, we have decided to offer admission by donation. We welcome everyone to join us for a small buffet after the dance, so we can end the evening together.
Dress code: Come as you feel
Cost: Pay what you can
Please note: Due to limited space, registration is required.

BECOMING DINOSAUR
work in progress

“A world is a future we can believe in. A world is an artificial, living thing. A world dreams up a place. A world has values. A world has one language. A world can grow. A world can collapse. A world has magical powers, especially the power to filter what matters. “
Ian Cheng- Emissaries Guide to Worlding
In Becoming Dinosaur Josefine Mühle explores in an intimate setting with her six months old son Rio, her partner and the costume designer and friend Justyna Gmitrzuk what it means to create and nourish a world from its early beginnings. Becoming dinosaur is transdisciplinary, ongoing research and is a futuristic container for growth and beauty that gives value to the human relationship to planet Earth.
Accompanied by research on dinosaurs and made accessible to babies, the work opens up a strange yet tangible tension between planetary past and future scenarios. The first stage of the work (realised in Oct. 2023, DOCK 11 Studio 4) was dedicated to creating the placefor the work. Together with Marcus Prinzen (light, camera, set) Justyna Gmitrzuk (costume and textile design), Rio Prinzen and Paul Fechner (baby performers) and myself (artistic direction, adult performer) we realised a spacial setup, with a textile volcano as prototype for the place. This volcano became the stage for 2 baby performers and one adult performer. In this first rehearsal face we created video material that will be edited into a video work.

The video series LOTUS explores the depths of human consciousness focussing on different perspectives on that issue.
LOTUS PORTALS INTO PURPLE touches upon Julian Jaynes controversial theses about the bicameral psyche. Jaynes argues that before the development of consciousness, humans perceived auditory memories or ideas hallucinatorily as clear inner voices and as commenting or commanding guides. The video work takes up this thesis and ventures into a pre-conscious, mystical realm populated by voices, visions and masks. The diversity of religious experience is broken down into a hypnotic film work. Aiming to be a medial ceremony, “LOTUS. Portals into Purple" for alternative forms of cross-species coming togther. Fiction becomes a prophet.

Informed by horror and science fiction scenarios LOTUS THE CHILD WAS STUNG imagines a intrauterin body that we no longer remember. This work investigates psychological and neurobiological studies on prenatal experience and fuses it with a cinematic stimmulation of the senses. The intrauterine body emerges as a sensual landscape of micro-dependencies. A cinematic collage of fragmented territories of fierce connection with what lies beyond the reach of adult perception.
