Think Big! #11: Constantin Trommlitz: TIE BREAK (11+)

Dancers compete against each other in an urban dance battle. Originally, these battles arose from gang rivalries that were fought through dance rather than violence. They became an Olympic competition discipline for the first time in 2024. The music, floor, space and opponents are not fixed. The challenge lies in reacting spontaneously and giving your all. But much more than winning, it's about self-image, potential, self-doubt, originality and dealing with pressure and defeat. How do you turn nervousness into energy? Constantin Trommlitz examines how dance battles serve as a metaphor for personal battles against fears, self-demands and the struggle for acceptance. When does the challenge become a moment of liberation?

Choreography, concept, music: Constantin Trommlitz | Co-choreography and performance: Marino Ariza, Alanna Reimpell Bravo, Victor Karwath
