How can dancers come together at completely different points in their personal and professional trajectory? How do people come together in their diversity? "Join" takes a step in this direction for dance and students from the city where the performance takes place dance together with the ensemble of the DFDC. In Dresden, dancers from the DFDC will perform with students from the Palucca University of Dance Dresden.
"Join" is funded by the "Fonds Zero" programme of the German Federal Cultural Foundation. This is intended to support cultural institutions in trying out climate-friendly forms of production and new aesthetics with the lowest possible climate impact.

Accompanying programme
HELLERAU and the DFDC have developed an extensive accompanying programme for the "Join" cooperation project. The programme kicks off with the performance "One One One", which will be staged with the entire DFDC ensemble at various locations in the city of Dresden. The official opening of the project and a subsequent première party will take place on the day of the première. The usual dialogue formats such as introductions and post-performance discussions will be offered around the other performances. There will also be various lectures on the ZERO project, which will delve deeper into the topic of sustainability in the cultural sector.

Light. Something appears: an image, a formation, movement, development, transformation. Dark. And light. Something new: it is massive, it turns, it vibrates, it encompasses everything. Dark. And light. Surprise. And dark. And light. And dark.
"Join" makes a simple and yet difficult attempt: How can dancers come together at completely different points in their personal and professional trajectory? How can an ensemble of professionals working at the highest level dance together with a group of students? How do people come together in their diversity? What connections are possible beyond a standardising and unifying norm? "Join" takes a step in this direction for dance. Students from the city where the performance takes place dance together with the ensemble of the Dresden Frankfurt Dance Company. The dramaturgy of the evening is determined by instant blackouts, which lend the scenes a sense of immediacy and constantly challenge the audience's perception.
