Kollektiv dance me to the end

City of Zurich Culture, GGKZ and A. Streuli Foundation

The collective dance me to the end consists of eight professional dancers aged between 60 and 70 who, as individual artists, have long been shaping the Swiss and international contemporary dance scene. Through their work, they question prevailing concepts of the body and dance, foster empowerment for older people in dance, and carry out important pioneering work, including for younger generations of dancers. They have eight different approaches to dance aesthetics and, as a collective, are developing a shared practice that encompasses somatic practices, artistic research, improvisation, and choreography. Many of the skills they have developed through years of dance practice are relevant to society: creativity, flexibility, dealing with complexity and uncertainty, understanding and appreciation of diversity. Their work and research began in 2023 and can now be continued from 2026 onwards thanks to being accomplices of Tanzhaus Zürich and the two-year concept funding of the city of Zurich.

The collective dance me to the end consists of Angelika Ächter, Jeanette Engler, Gisa Frank, Anna Huber, Tina Mantel, Angela Stöcklin, Katharina Vogel and Ivan Wolfe.
