At Kampnagel, the individual format is what matters
Kampnagel in Hamburg is an international production venue and also home to K3, the Centre for Choreography. That makes it an interesting place for dance enthusiasts, but it doesn’t tell you how you’ll take part on a particular evening. A performance may be intended for an audience to watch, while an open format may invite visitors to move. That’s why the description of the specific event is always what matters.
Look for information about duration, admission, registration, age or prior knowledge requirements, and whether you’re expected to move. If the description uses terms like “open” or “participatory,” still check whether you need to book a place or register. If in doubt, it’s better to ask the organiser than to make assumptions.
To help you plan in Hamburg, think of your visit as an event rather than a regular class night. A class usually has a recurring learning structure; an event’s programme, audience and level of participation can vary from one date to another. If you’re looking for a format with guided participation, you can also find information about open sessions like All Moves to help you tell the difference. For an overview of other stage and participatory formats in the city, see Going dancing in Hamburg. The Dance Triennale in Hamburg, on the other hand, is a festival format of its own and isn’t the same as every visit to Kampnagel.
