Wild Card

Wild Card
The training is led by Martin Schick

Give yourself a Wildcard!

The weekly Wild Card Training offers an ideal set-up with experimental live DJing for your own independent movement training within a collective.

This continuously growing and expanding training community serves dancers and DJs as a protected space for experimentation and as a place to practise a different kind of togetherness, one that resists normative movement forms, consumption and ecstasy. Beyond attributions of gender, age, ableism, professionalism or ready-made ideals, the training is open to all bodies, levels and styles.

The three ground rules of Wild Card Training:
No (physical) touching – No judging – No (passive) watching.

Please note: The training session begins promptly at 10:15. So that everyone starts from the same point, it is important that the group begins together. For this reason: no entry once the session has started.

Martin Schick

Martin Schick (aka TINA) works as an independent culture-maker and has made it a principle of their artistic work to repeatedly enter new contexts, building them either alone or collectively. Originally coming from dance and performance, Martin Schick’s work has, since 2018, moved into the fields of cultural management, cultural policy, activism and critical companionship. Martin Schick’s engagement is primarily with community movements, cooperative or communal structures and institutional transformation projects — that is, wherever art is not framed, but instead expands or even breaks open the bubble and the frame. At Tanzhaus, Martin Schick has for many years accompanied the Wild Card training format in its professional training context, open to all people.
