Moving Rhythms
At Moving Rhythms, we make music with our bodies. Starting with movement, we explore a variety of sounds. We invent and learn rhythms and play in an ensemble, in multiple voices or in canon. We work on coordination, looseness, and musicality. We also play with the scenic potential of rhythm: How can rhythm be used to communicate and create a mood? The possibilities of physical theater make poetry and comedy obvious. We practice relaxing in the face of challenges and getting into the game together. We will fail with joy and groove! The workshop is for anyone who enjoys rhythm and movement.

Inclusion can start anywhere: All inclusive – a box for more
Inclusion – where does it begin? How can people without disabilities contribute to creating more inclusive access to society and culture? The “Alle Inklusive” toolbox is a starting point for anyone who wants to work on breaking down barriers. It was developed by Kleintheater Luzern, whose co-management has focused on inclusion since 2023. In this workshop, two of the three parts of the toolbox will be presented and tried out in a group setting.

Workshop meeting in a protected FLINTA* group: exchange of experiences and presentation of good practices.
With less than 20% of women on stage in today's music industry, Europe—with the exception of the Nordic countries—still has a long way to go. So, shall we get started? Let's introduce ourselves, our work, and our commitment, share analyses and diagnoses, and develop tomorrow's measures together: for more women on stage, backstage, and in leadership positions.
