We don’t hear music with our ears alone: we can also experience it intensely with our whole body and with all our senses. In the workshop »Kosmos Klang« many special instruments are available for the purpose, such as sound chairs and vibrating water bowls. Participants experience the relaxing effect of the vibrations produced, and even make the sounds visible.

Since 1973, the "Ballet Workshops" have been a regular part of Hamburg Ballet's program. The event was initiated by John Neumeier, who also personally hosted each session.

Following a public stage rehearsal, choreographers, ballet masters, or other members of the production team offer valuable insights into the creative and rehearsal process. They share how a particular work comes to life and highlight what audiences should pay special attention to. Often, viewers get a first glimpse of a new production even before its official premiere.
