We open Dansdagen Tilburg together with the city. City Poet Najiba Abdellaoui will perform a poem written especially for the Dansdagen. Afterwards, choreographer Connor Schumacher invites the audience to join a Guided Rave: a collective dance experience centred around music, movement and connection.

Everyone is welcome to take part. No dance experience is required, and there are no dance steps you need to learn beforehand. Follow the music, let Connor guide you, and discover what happens when an entire city starts moving together.

Dance is more than movement. It is a way of experiencing each other and the world around us. In Physical Therapy: State of Dance, Connor Schumacher transforms the dance floor into a rave. Music, light and movement bring audience and performers together in one shared experience. Come and dance, move, and discover your own State of Dance.

There is a border of light. It expands as we dance.

Dance is the living, breathing and pulsing proof of what makes us human. In Physical Therapy: State of Dance, choreographer Connor Schumacher invites you to experience this for yourself. The dance floor transforms into a rave where music, light and movement come together. Everyone takes part and becomes part of the choreography.

As you move, the space around you changes too. The border of light grows, the group begins to move, and space emerges for connection and freedom. Come and dance and discover your own State of Dance. Or, as Connor puts it: “Society would be better if we danced every day.”

Najiba Abdellaoui and Connor Schumacher quite literally and figuratively give the starting signal for three days of Dansdagen Tilburg.

Whether this performance has an interval is not yet known.
