Weeds, wild herbs, crop plant companions... These are all other terms for weeds and they not only refer to the plants themselves, but also indicate the position of weeds: a subordinate one, an accompanying one. They are often overlooked, not allowed, removed, considered annoying or even poisoned. Yet weeds are a vital part of our ecosystem. And who actually decided that weeds are not beautiful and wanted? In the dance club under the direction of dancer and dramaturge Miriam Beike, the young people explore the resilience and potential of weeds. In weekly rehearsals, they discover their own bodies as a means of perception and expression. Together, they explore in movement where weeds break open surfaces and allow them to bloom and how intertwined they are. What does this mean when applied to the dancers and the entire group? Scenes and movement sequences are developed together, from which a dance piece is created over the course of the season, which is then performed on stage.
