An event with students from the BA Dance and BA Drama courses at the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts. Supported by the Hessian Theater Academy

With “Maybe wildness”, the BA Dance of the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts presents six choreographic works in one evening. The show is dedicated to the wanderings, deviations and pulse of the next generation of dance artists. Gentle, unknown, different or wild – the students have created three new works in close collaboration with guest choreographers Yossi Berg & Oded Graf, Sade Mamedova and Lucyna Zwolińska. They will also be showing three newly compiled works: concepts and materials from “The Second Detail” by honorary professor William Forsythe, “Almost Angels” by Heidi Vierthaler and “Matsutake” by director Prof. Damian Gmür.
