SIXFOLD has received a broad interest in Elisabeth’s hometown, Wittlich. The piece has been performed over 19 times; the children workshops were fully booked with a participation of 80 kids throughout the week. It was a special week with extraordinary impressions, interesting people taking place in a specific place that Elisabeth will surely keep in good memory.

In the week of 15th – 19th May, Elisabeth will be teaching professional class at DOCK11 in Berlin.

Elisabeth’s class aims at preparing an articulate, attentive and curious body to move with individual instinct through precise alignment, flow of weight, use of time and dynamic playfulness. By introducing exploratory tasks as well as set material, the positive and energetic environment will encourage you to discover your body’s full potential through facility, strength, efficiency and a creative mind. The class will furthermore invite you to enhance your perception of yourself and others in order to open the space for a powerful visceral experience.
