In July and August 2026, we invite you to join us for two mobile dance excursions through Munich. Together, we will explore places of urban dance life beyond official city and dance history: parks, basements, clubs, former gathering spots, and public spaces.
Drawing on oral histories from the “Münchner Tanzgeschichten” project by CHAKKARs – Moving Interventions, the excursions bring to life a living archive—shaped by migrant and diasporic communities, amateur dance, club cultures, and urban scenes. Mapping, personal stories, short dance fragments, and spontaneous interventions come together to form a collective movement through the city—as a physical space of memory.
In her work, choreographer and dance scholar Sandra Chatterjee combines artistic practice with postcolonial, gender- and migration-critical perspectives and develops performative formats that engage the senses and bodies beyond institutional norms.
CHAKKARs – Moving Interventions creates spaces where BIPoC and post-migrant perspectives become visible in dance, and reimagines forgotten, everyday dance stories from Munich communities with an anti-racist, decolonizing approach.
