Now is the time – under this motto, the German Protestant Church Congress took place in Nuremberg from 7-11 June.
Almost at the same time, it was time for us dancers to occupy ourselves with dances by Saskia Kloke and pictures by Marc Chagall as part of a further training course for teachers on the theme “Song of Songs”.
Saskia was inspired by the music of the group Fortuna and choreographed wonderful dances that took up the images and moods of the texts from the “Song of Songs”. The movements, forms and dance images invited us to experience them intensely.
We were all learners during these days, not just practitioners, and it was a joy to experience how little by little the sequences, movements and forms became clearer, more recognisable and more beautiful.
We experienced the time particularly intensively on two afternoons, when we worked in small groups on the pictures of the Song of Songs by Marc Chagall, discovered many details and the big picture and had an intensive exchange about them.
Summer temperatures contributed to the fact that the designed centre was constantly changing and always offered a new eye-catcher.
Very happy and fulfilled we started our way home and now carry the love into our everyday life to pass on something of the given abundance and beauty to the people around us.
