We founded the association BewegGrund in 1998 in order to promote inclusive dance. BewegGrund stands for equal rights, self-determination, equal opportunities and integration. Our objective is self-evident togetherness of disabled and non-disabled people in cultural projects.
The work of BewegGrund is funded regularly by the town of Bern, the canton of Bern and others.
Video still: The setting is a public
town square on a sunny day. The background consists of a tram, a row of
buildings and passers-by. A man in a multi coloured clown costume and a black
and white patterned Inca hat stands in the foreground with an array of
colourful balloons to his left side. He holds a purple balloon sword.
Video summary:
Video portrait of Beweggrund on Vimeo, created 2017 for the project Moving
Beyond Inclusion. Artists of BewegGrund introduce themselves in a range of
different languages in the empty theatre space of the Dampfzentrale in Bern.
The video intercuts key statements and texts about BewegGrund with extracts
from the professional production "Why does someone walk across a lawn,
even though there is a path nearby" and the project
"Interventions" in collaboration with the dance festival Steps from
the Migros culture percentage.
Projected texts and
subtitles in German and English. Music: Florian Favre, Editing: Jürg Koch,
