Production, Support and Care Community: nein9 kollektiv – is a composition of non-hierarchical spontaneity. Our community space contains spaces and dialogues on nurturing inclusivity and embracing the paradoxical and chaosmic dialects of violence and care through questioning: How can embodiment be the revolution of our times?

Blank Check Festival
March 10-13, 2022
In cooperation with DOCK11 and Acker Stadt Palast
nein9 kollektiv’s Berlin debut, celebrating live art through a patchwork of recent works.
​
​
Blank Check festival presents a new generation of movement and choreography artists in their Berlin debut; a melting pot of individual pasts and presents. The festival is a space to reveal and share the recent works of nein9 kollektiv, their collaborators and invited guests. Forming a curational collage, with each evening celebrating and providing insight into radically different approaches to the performance arts. The first night foregrounds body and perception. The second, tension: grasp and release, loss and power. The third ponders balance and disharmony, through the works of invited guests. The fourth and final night, communion.
