The social within the city: City Groove

In the organizer's words:

Imagine grooving through the streets of Düsseldorf and being transported to downtown Cairo at the same time. Perhaps the Königsallee is a side street in Caracas or you suddenly experience a music festival in the English countryside on the Oberkassel Bridge. City Groove initiates a transcultural event - using virtual spaces in which we can move and connect freely. Participants immerse themselves in embodied experiences of the architecture and atmospheres of different cities.
City Groove uses a newly developed smartphone app that works like a mobile silent disco and transforms the city into a digital meeting place. Cologne-based dance artists Douglas Bateman, Hend Elbalouty and Maria Mercedes Flores invite you to join them on dance tours of the city - to move and groove together through the city. The app will be used with specially compiled playlists together with guests.
The social within the city is a digital platform with the aim of making public spaces a new and different experience for everyone, regardless of age, origin or ability. With guided tours, choreographic tasks and curated playlists, the project combines elements of game design and dance.

City Groove is available in German, English, Arabic and Spanish. Guests must download the app and bring their own headphones to participate. No dance experience or knowledge is required. All routes are wheelchair accessible.
