“I am not a dancer, but somehow it happened that soon I will graduate from choreography and performance MA in Gießen. Before I graduate, I want to get to know more about dance and choreography and what these two have to do with one another. I invited 10 people to be the choreographers of this piece. Some of them are very close to dance, others stand far away from it. They all made a dance for this piece, and gave it to me. I took it, learned it, and I will share it with the audience”, Nele Tiidelepp.
