The day began with smily faces and first impressions in the three workshops: In an old, little school up on a mountain Chrisuoula made her dancers sweat through greek folklore. Frauke and the participants of the experimental sculpture workshop found inspiration from the uncountable objects in the GER-MANI area. Thanks to patient translating Elisabeth was able to step into the stop-motion world with her greek participants.
In the afternoon all got together inside in a familiar circle, while there was a surprising thunder storm outside. A Tennis ball, photos, puppets, a necklace, a coin and greek-german shoes filled the room with biographic snapshots.

After three days of intense work on translating the personal turningpoints into individual expressions, the found movements, sounds and sculptures were shared with everybody in the course of a final presentation. As individual as the participants' stories were, as strong and beaming were the results of their work. Put together in a compact form – whether it be a scene or object – every single performance conveyed a special statement.
The scenes that were developed in the “physical expression” workshop originated from movements and sounds associated with the personal stories and were put in relation to a white shirt as connective momentum.
The objects built in the “experimental sculpture” workshop showed every day objects and foundings put together in a context as one complete sculture, standing for itself.
In summary, building personal relationships with eachother has been as big a part of the time in České Budějovice as dealing with art, with the own biography and with language barriers.
