Don’t just watch storytelling - live it. 💙
Train, create, and perform through movement that makes you more present, expressive, and alive.
Every IBDAW training invites you to feel and live dance with meaning and create with clarity without losing your voice.
Über das Training: “Contemporary / IBDAW Training”
Dieses Training ist kein klassischer Tanzunterricht. Hier geht es nicht darum, Schritte zu lernen, sondern Tanz bewusst zu erleben und mit eigener Bedeutung zu füllen. Unter der Leitung von Emeel Safie lernen Tänzer*innen im IBDAW Training, mit Bedeutung zu trainieren und mit Klarheit zu gestalten, ohne dabei ihre eigene Stimme zu verlieren -durch die Playing State Philosophie. Das Training verbindet Kreativität, Technik, Flow und Partnering und eignet sich sowohl zur Vorbereitung auf Film- und Bühnenprojekte als auch für die persönliche tänzerische Entwicklung. Wer (11-16, 18–70 Jahre, Nichtraucher) Freude an kreativer Bewegung hat, ist herzlich zu einem Probetraining eingeladen.
What is IBDAW Dance?
What is IBDAW Dance?
IBDAW is not a dance style. It is a dance creation system - a stage between the abstract and the concrete.
Pronounced "Ibdaa", IBDAW is rooted in the Playing State Philosophy and uses any movement necessary and belongs to no single form. Contemporary, modern, and ballet techniques train the body, but they do not define the system.
IBDAW was created in 2012 out of a refusal to perform movement without meaning. In IBDAW, movement exists only if it serves the idea. If it does not, it is removed.
IBDAW is a playground for dancers, not a factory - a space for co-creation, inquiry, and clarity. What matters is to question, to feel, and to translate ideas into physical form.
