Are you interested in spending two weeks in an international and artistic environment exploring your creative potential? Then come to Stolzenhagen, where our arts centre hosts a big community kitchen and garden, beautiful dance studios, and a space to gather, exchange and learn together. In this work and dance camp you will experience creativity together with your host, the Ponderosa Artists’ Association. You will take part in daily workshops on dance, improvisation and body awareness. If the desire is there, you will also have the opportunity to create and present performances. The workshops will be facilitated by international artists who are professionals in their field. Alongside these workshops you will integrate into the community of workers who are contributing to this art space. We aim to merge the creativity we find in the studio into our every day work tasks and we invite you to bring in your youthful spirit and ideas in order to take care of this exciting space. Possible tasks could include helping to run the kitchen and garden, building and painting projects, bike maintenance and making the space around you beautiful.

You cook together. Money for food shopping is provided for you. Vegetarian or vegan meals are possible. Please indicate any allergies when registering. You will sleep in shared room. Please bring a sleeping bag and a bedsheet.

There will be bikes available for you to use so that you can move around through the wonderful landscapes in the Oder Valley nature area. There are many opportunities to go swimming in the nearby Brandenburg with its many lakes. There is a local farmers market on Saturdays and sometimes a pop up cafè. On the weekend you could go on an excursion to the dazzling metropolis of Berlin or even plan a trip to Poland.

There is a 495 € extra fee for this camp. You don’t need to have previous experience with dance, just come with a curious mind to learn more about movement and performance. German volunteers have to pay as well 495€ in total, but system can't show this for you here.
