COFFEE TALK with Szene 2WEI | June 15, 23
Szene 2WEI – about the work of a mixed-abled dance company in the middle of the Black Forest (Lahr, Baden-Württemberg)
SZENE 2WEI was founded in 2009 by Timo Gmeiner and William Sánchez H. in Essen. The company works in the field of contemporary mixed-ability dance theatre. It creates art that questions and stimulates thought, does not shy away from discussion and discourse and brings its very own style to the stage.
The common goal is to seek dialogue with people on and off stage and to use art as a universal language to explore different ways of communicating.
The dance company SZENE 2WEI is based in Lahr in the Black Forest (Ortenau district), around 38 kilometres north of Freiburg. The surrounding nature has a major influence on the company’s artistic work and has thus become one of its main pillars alongside mixed ability. In an interview with William Sánchez H., we find out how the two dance artists built up the company and how it has changed over time.
