The international lab “Working together, working apart” at FELD – short report (2021)

The report describes an international arts lab called “Working together, working apart” at FELD Theater in Berlin, where artists explored contemporary dance, collaboration, and performance during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It highlights projects and workshops that focus on participation, especially involving children and communities, examining how people interact with objects, spaces, and each other through dance and creative processes.

A key theme is balancing live, in-person collaboration with digital formats, while questioning accessibility, participation, and the social role of art in a changing (pandemic-influenced) world.
