More than 20 disabled dance practitioners from across Europe took part in Dance, Politics, Disability and the Body, the first of five artistic exchange laboratories of Europe Beyond Access. The laboratory was hosted at Kampnagel in Hamburg, Germany’s largest production centre for performing arts and facilitated by Serbia’s Per.Art, who invited three learning-disabled artists to lead the series of workshops: Julia Häusermann (Theater HORA), Natalija Vladisavljić (Per.Art) and Dennis Seidel (Meine Damen und Herren). It was programmed as part of Kampnagel’s annual dance festival, Fokus Tanz which featured work by renowned international dance artists, including disabled choreographer Michael Turinsky.
