Malik Nashad Sharpe und eingeladene Kollaborateur*innen: Winin’ & Liming

Wining - the circular, swinging movement of hips and pelvis - and liming - hanging out together, talking, listening to music. Both have their roots in Caribbean everyday and movement cultures and form the starting point for an open get-together at tanzhaus nrw: a space for dancing, exchanging and enjoying together. DJ sets and shared meals combine dance with conversation, relaxed ease with reflection. How can we be there for each other? And what role can dance play in this?

Together with Malik Nashad Sharpe - choreographer and movement director between art, fashion and music - and a group of artists, social workers and community actors from NRW - Yeliz Pazar, Marie Zoe Buchholz/ZOE, Maria Mercedes Flores Mujica, Sevi Bayraktar and Dieter Ligueros Korsholm - a space is created in which different experiences come together. It's about community and care - and also about talking about the "shit" we go through: about uncertainty, loss and what challenges us. Between movement and exchange, people listen, talk, dance and share time together.

DJ sets by DJ F-ZEE, dance sessions, tarot reading with ✨ Ray ✨ , mocktails & Trinidadian street food specialties by Beni Doubles.

A mini-exhibition on community and dance research will be on display in the foyer throughout the day - developed from MA seminars by Sevi Bayraktar with students of dance studies and dance education at the ZZT Cologne. It brings together excerpts from interviews, workshops and roundtables and provides insights into different artistic practices of community building.

Come along, get involved or just be there - what emerges develops with everyone who enters the space.
An invitation to move, to come together, to imagine.

Soft Schedule

This day does not follow a fixed schedule in the classic sense. More like a flow: come, go, stay, come back. Hang out, dance, talk, eat, listen. Our soft schedule gives you an orientation - many things happen in parallel, some things shift, others arise spontaneously.

The event takes place from 14:00 - 20:00.

A first serving of doubles and non-alcoholic mocktails is free (while stocks last); alcoholic cocktails and additional servings can be purchased from 14:00-20:00.

Awareness

Malte van Haaren will be on site as an awareness person during the event. Recognizable by his pink vest, Malte can be approached at any time when it comes to well-being, personal boundaries or unpleasant situations. If you experience or observe discriminatory or abusive behavior, he will help you deal with it and support those affected. Malte works with the Guardian Angels and the Get Over It Collective, among others.
