Ponderosa

The Ponderosa Festival is an international improvisation and performance festival that takes place annually outside Berlin, Germany. We are celebrating a continual exploration of visionary experiences in the area of dance, improvisation and creative life practices. We are an artist run nonprofit organization in the countryside with a guest house, 3 dance studios and camping facilites. P.O.R.C.H. is a module based contemporary dance training that is an invitation to research intensively with a faculty successfully active in the international performance/dance fields. We provide a pro- fessional program for aspiring movement artists who need to deepen, understand and activate their artistic endeavors.

»Lets bring in the political body and mind, the esoteric critic and the conceptual freak, ponderosa, an orientation in multi disciplinary layers turning the regular into art.«
