“SKIN is not about ‘access’ for people with disabilities but rather a work of ‘excess’ in which multiple lived experiences co-exist.” Renae Shadler

SKIN

Renae Shadler & Roland Walter (Berlin)  

23 – 24 May 2025 | Potsdamer Tanztage 2025Dance / performance

Where does your body begin? Where does mine end? In this intimate and playful duet Renae Shadler and Roland Walter explore our physical surface, the skin, as a porous barrier between interior and exterior – both boundary and point of contact.

In SKIN, the two performers find common movement languages that question the usual ideas of a “mixed-abled” choreography. They use their bodies and the various objects in the room to play and create unusual sculptures that offer the spectator a new perspective. Inspired by the qualities of sea anemones, liquids, and the surfaces of the earth, SKIN imagines a world in which there is no more or less “able” body. 

Recommended from the age of 10.

SKIN was selected by Tanzplattform Deutschland 2022 and Aerowaves 2021.

Afterwards on Fri 23 May: Talk with the artists
