Stop-and-Go Paper: Movement Becomes Image

Music on, paper out, and let’s move! In this experimental format, a large sheet of paper becomes a shared space for movement. The body becomes a tool, movement leaves traces, and many individual actions come together to create a collective image.

The music starts, and the movement begins. As soon as it stops, everyone freezes. A new record, a new rhythm, a new movement – sometimes slow and focused, sometimes exuberant and wild. Layer by layer, the paper changes, capturing the movements of the group.​

We observe what happens when we move freely: How does the body change when we are tense? What happens when we let go? How much space do we take up? And how can many individual movements become a shared composition?

At the end, we take a few moments to reflect together. The large-scale collaborative artwork will remain in the Raum für Materialerfahrung and become part of the space.

Please note: This format is all about free and physical movement and is intended as a safe space for exploring together. All participants should be willing to move in wild, spontaneous and unfamiliar ways and to experience their bodies in a new way. At the same time, everyone decides for themselves how far they want to go.
