e that works with a wide range of artists and artistic disciplines. By transcending categories, they can experiment with new spaces and possibilities, broadening horizons for themselves and others. The laborgras concept values continuous exchange and supporting every opportunity for an encounter. The only limits are on what is feasible and what is desired.

For Renate Graziadei and Arthur Stäldi, dance is a way of living, and through dance life can be observed, whether by spectators or dancers. Dance involves letting go, abandoning in the sense of surrendering, experimenting in the sense of researching. Dance is movement, movement is life and dance is that life’s physical form of expression. laborgras aims for the theater as a place of experimentation, research and discovery. Here, dancing means taking a stance, even a political one, where theater is concerned with real life and the concrete issues of day-to-day living. Dance must not degenerate into pure commentary on a given topic, nor remain fixed in the aesthetics of sublime movement, rather it must remain a form of expression that enables and encourages new ways of perceiving.
