COFFEE TALK with Bianca Kruppa | October 24, 2024

Bianca Kruppa on community work at »Falsche Farm« (Diebis, Bayern) and the joy of making mistakes

»What can modern, sustainable and culturally diverse rural life look like, where a large variety of people can participate and co-create?«

During this Coffee Talk, Bianca Kruppa shares some of her experiences as a community dance artist and facilitator in the context of her work at »Falsche Farm«. She mainly focuses on community building and personal research questions regarding dance in rural areas. Bianca lives and works in rural southern Germany. Currently she’s studying MA Dance: Participation, Communities, Activism at the London Contemporary Dance School.

With this key question, »Falsche Farm« can be understood as an ongoing place in progress. It holds space for content shaped by the creativity and expertise of its local people. As a co-founder of »Falsche Farm«, Bianca regards this progress as a collective resistance against the pursuit of the supposedly “right answer” – creating space for something new instead. In doing so, Bianca’s community often finds itself on an overwhelming spectrum between aspiration and reality while maintaining the joy of making mistakes.
