Tanz aller investigates the relationship between dance and politics. Therefore the performance group LIGNA deals with the almost forgotten legacy of the movement choirs who practiced dance as a social activity for artists and laymen since the 1920s. Tanz aller enables an experience of this tradition and its emancipatory potential. Via earphones the participants receive impulses for a choreography that challenges the potential of collective movement in today’s hyper individualized western society.

Tanz aller befragt das Verhältnis von Tanz und Politik. Dafür setzt sich die Gruppe LIGNA mit dem fast vergessenen Erbe der Bewegungschöre auseinander, die seit den 1920ern Tanz als soziale Praxis für Künstler und Laien ausübten. Tanz aller macht diese Tradition und ihr emanzipatorisches Potential erfahrbar. Über Kopfhörer erhalten die Teilnehmer Impulse zur Ausführung einer Choreographie, die mit der Möglichkeit gemeinsamer Bewegung in der heutigen überindividualisierten westlichen Gesellschaft experimentiert.
The premiere of Tanz aller in May 2013 was funded by Fonds Tanzerbe (Kulturstiftung des Bundes) and also by Fonds Darstellende Künste e.V.

LIGNA consists of the media- and performance artists Ole Frahm, Michael Hüners and Torsten Michaelsen. Since 2002 their work devotes itself to creating temporary situations, that employ their audience as a collective of producers – an association that can produce unforseeable, uncontrollable effects which challenge the regulation of a space.
One of LIGNA´s models of media usage, the RadioBallet (invented in 2002), provides radio listeners with a choreography of excluded and forbidden gestures in formerly public, now controlled spaces like train stations or shopping malls. Others like The new Man (2008) orOedipus (2011) question the space of theatre itself as an apparatus that shapes subjectivity. More recent works like The last Commune or Secret Radio (both 2014) invite the participants to stage a complex interaction in public space, which discloses itself to them only gradually.
