Workshops
Upcycling – Hannah Kloger
Hannah is back as a guest with her label “A-CHOO.” She invites you to become part of this festival and learn more about upcycling, recycling, and slow fashion. Let yourself be inspired to simply pick up a pair of scissors, ditch those run-of-the-mill pants from the fashion industry, and give them a new lease on life with a custom-designed patch and renewed pride—so you can lead by example in these times of mass consumption.

Synthesizer – Gammon
The Modular Table is not a table in the traditional sense, but rather a social resonance space for encounters, sound, and collaborative experimentation. Four modular synthesizers embedded in the tabletop can be played simultaneously by several people.
Fragile relationships develop among the participants, characterized by interaction and mindfulness—a form of collective expression that transcends spoken language. Decisions do not exist in isolation; rather, they overlap and continuously alter the conditions for everyone. The composition of the music is negotiated collectively. The Modular Table creates situations in which listening is not a passive act, but becomes an intervention in itself.
The table thus becomes a social tool: a place where collective thought becomes audible, dissolves, and reassembles itself again and again.

Clay forming – Veronika Reich
Input: Our Earth – can art still save it?
When you’re at the end of your rope, with your back against the wall, so to speak, stripped of all hope, facing an impending catastrophe, with a long, steadily downward path behind you – when it seems like nothing works anymore – then there’s only one thing left to do: start over. Conclusion: Art, then, remakes the world.
Made of earth. Local earth. Everyone is invited to mix, knead, and prepare the clay from the on-site pit and use it to build a new, better world. Strange creatures, earthen vessels, unknown beings, spirits, primitive structures. The goal: Things can only get better. The clay objects will be fired in a pit kiln, photographed, and accompanied by a brief statement on “saving the world through art.”

Light – Geoffrey Wirth
During the closing night, participants will have the opportunity to direct people’s attention using their light sources.
Procedure: Each person receives a light source (e.g., a flashlight), and at a specific time, the lights are turned off. During this time, workshop participants will guide, illuminate, and project light throughout the festival grounds.

Voice – Johanna Denk
The voice workshop invites participants to explore their own voices in interaction with others.
In the group, participants will explore breath, sound, rhythm, and resonance together. Through listening, responding, and collective experimentation, an open space for expression, presence, and collaborative vocal interaction emerges. Johanna has a background in classical vocal training and is a certified speech-language pathologist.

Jewelry Design – Kurt Rudolf
Kurt shares his many years of experience and invites everyone to join in the creative process. Molds are carved from beech wood.
Bring your old pewter plates and jugs, and we’ll use them to cast small objects!
Linocut – Evelyn Wild
In this workshop, participants will create a large-format linocut as a collaborative artwork. The overall design will be printed in separate sections onto T-shirts, making each shirt one-of-a-kind. When put together, the prints form a cohesive whole—a visible symbol of community, collaboration, and collective creativity.
Dance – Hanna Schaar
„Freiraum“ is an improvisation-based workshop that invites participants to let go of self-judgment through dance and movement. Together and individually, we explore new ways of moving and create a space where curiosity is more important than perfection and skill. The focus is on the experience itself, rather than on how movement appears to others. No prior experience is required for the workshop—just a love of movement and an openness to trying new things.
