The feeling of home in an always-changing world

How to create a sense of home in an environment where people from different backgrounds, cultures and countries come together to coexist creatively? This research-question in the field of contemporary dance becomes more and more urgent since nationalistic politicians dictated the historic roots of a nation as the dominant culture, to which everyone has to adapt. We need other strategies, the strategies of the heart, of the dream, of taking serious not to take your self always so serious. Contemporary dance becomes a wonderful field where we can test creative ways of coexisting together without getting stuck in power games. United sorry wants to create a Coaching Project in which we investigate the notion of home, with space for individual doubts and desires, for playfulness, and respect for differences. How to explore this feeling home in movement, songs, texts, installations, performances? Yes, we wonder, when do we feel home in our body, in our mind, in a space, which we have to share with more people, and when do we feel home with people we can’t immediately understand? This Coaching Project is a continuation of the research united sorry started this year to look for a new ecological awareness to confront ourselves with nationalistic propaganda. It is their attempt to translate the power of the sensual connection as provoked by Eros and silence as a force to change. Listening as a political act, poetry as a tool to change the mind.
