In a time when it can feel hard to move at all, Heart To Ride insists on movement – as a way of training presence, sensitivity, and community as a muscle.
In this performance, created by dancer and choreographer Joana Öhlschläger, a group of dancers come together in a different kind of cardio workout. They explore how to fuel and contaminate each other’s energy through sudden shifts, intimate closeness, and wide distances.
Let yourself be swept up by the team spirit as Heart To Ride insists on a shared movement away from discouragement.
