ZW-FESTIVAL: THURSDAY W/ A SLAPPING WORKSHOP, A TALK, MOVEMENT PRACTICE AND A PERFORMANCE

On Thursday we meet to finally find a place to put all the feelings: in our bodies, in conversation and most importantly in each other's company. 

To kick the evening off, we start with a slap. In a hands-on workshop, we practise feminist self-empowerment and self-defence, learn to hold our ground under stress, and find out what a proper «Flättere gegen das Patriarchat» is all about. Open to all genders, bodies and levels of experience.

Then we turn to care: Who does it, where does it happen, and what would it take to organise it together instead of leaving it to overstretched institutions? With the Care Strike on the horizon, a panel of guests explore and show what different infrastructures of care can look like and how we can all organize ourselves together.

Later, we let the body lead. Movement Practice is a guided improvisation session with live music, spoken cues and plenty of space to follow sensation instead of intention. Expect a protected but unconventional setting where musicians and movers listen and respond to one another.

And as the night winds down, we’ll wake up one last time to end with a very special performance. We’re not saying more yet, but you’ll want to stay until the end.
