Royston Maldoom and Nanni Kloke design a two-week project with young people from the camp and Lesbos.
The concept of HUMANexperience is to express themes such as community, home, freedom … with music and self-developed creative dance sequences in DANCING POEMS. This will be supported by pieces from the ‘HUMAN orchestral work’ by Helge Burggrabe as well as excerpts from the work ‘Harmonielehre’ by John Adams.
‘It is a matter close to my heart,’ says Nanni Kloke, ‘to create spaces where young people can experience strength, hope and dignity through music and dance in the appalling conditions there. Together with local partners, we will create a safe space to create bridges for tolerance and understanding.’
- Nanni Kloke is a dancer and choreographer, she has worked with Royston Maldoom for many years and is the founder of the Art for Peace Foundation, an initiative with the aim of inspiring a culture of peace and hope through art and intercultural learning.
- The British choreographer Royston Maldoom has been directing community dance projects worldwide for many decades. His moving work became known to the general public in particular through the film “Rhythm is It!” with students from Berlin-Neukölln and Sir Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra (2004).
