This is what it's all about.

In the Kulturhaus ELYS a studio for a movement, for movement, dance and art is created on 158m2. In close cooperation with the ELYS Boulderloft, various cultural, informative and movement-oriented offers will be created, as well as various events and artistic projects to raise environmental awareness. The construction/remodeling of the studio will take place in September/October. Subsequently, the studio will be opened in November.

  • The studio will offer movement (yoga/Pilates) and urban dance classes.

My project is special because ...

Reconnecting Circles creates space for movement & encounter, as well as reflection & dialogues to foster empathy in an increasingly polarized world to promote constructive engagement for sustainable development.

This is what I need backing for.

After our actions with the short videos in the virtual world of social media, we now want to create spaces for movement and culture in the real world in order to bring people together and to move them. For this purpose, we want to build a multi-use studio in the Kulturhaus ELYS.

Since we have done all the work on a voluntary basis so far and do not have a large association capital at the moment, we lack the funds to completely build and furnish the studio.

To make our vision of a meeting place for dance, movement, art, as well as co-creation and collaboration possible, we need your help! The collected money will be used for the construction, respectively the equipment of the studio - from the music system, the yoga and pilates mats, the furniture to the lighting of the studio.

Thank you already for your support and we are looking forward to welcoming you in our studio!
