Playfully dive into the world of martial arts

On September 21, 2026, the Old Fencing Hall in Göttingen will open its doors for a special workshop for children and adolescents aged 10 to 14. Under the title »THE SCHOOL OF FIGHTING ANIMALS«, Dr. Martin Minarik connects movement, creativity, and imagination to create a lively event experience as part of the 11th Dance Culture Week.

Movement, expression, and imagination at the center

The three-hour workshop invites participants to rediscover the world of martial arts through animal movements. Tiger, snake, or monkey serve as impulses for a stylized movement repertoire, from which small combat and movement choreographies will emerge. Afterwards, the scenes will be briefly filmed – an approach that connects body awareness, expression, and collective experimentation.

The space is particularly suitable for experimental formats, dance, theater, and workshops, offering a concentrated, yet inspiring ambiance due to its excellent acoustics.
