ConeXion Dance Battle 2024

Welcome to the trailer of "ConeXion - Dance Battle," (made by Paul Rohlfs) a show created and presented by Yeri Anarika - DanceWorks.

Since 2021, this event has been made possible through collaboration with the UMtanz association and the Templin Multicultural Center. For the first two years, we were supported by Neustart Culture, and in the last two years, we have been part of the dance festival in Templin, support by the Tanzland Kultur Stiftung des Bundes program.

"ConeXion - Dance Battle" is a celebration of dance styles, pitting ballet, street dance, and contemporary dance against each other. On stage, we have nine professional dancers from different parts of the world, all residing in Berlin, accompanied by a DJ and two hosts.

The show captures and plays with the skill, essence, presence, and emotion of movement through pure improvisation. This improvisation also reflects the rich culture of each dancer, coming from various parts of the world. "ConeXion" appeals to the connection between styles, human beings, and shared experiences. Beyond competition, it seeks unity and joint celebration. The battle is just a pretext to dance together and invite the audience to participate with their applause and ideas.

This event highlights the cultural diversity of the artists, promoting an intercultural exchange that allows artists and audiences to communicate through the universal language of dance. Additionally, the show is prepared to include guest performances and can be presented in various locations to reach a broader audience.
