The cosmos of »In C«
With »In C«, the dance company Sasha Waltz & Guests in 2021 began a new, experimental and constantly evolving artistic process in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the premiere on a live stream from Berlin’s Radialsystem on March 6, 2021, Sasha Waltz’ choreography to the music of the same name by Terry Riley has been passed on to a constantly growing dance community, reaching many people worldwide.
Thanks to the new possibilities of flexible artistic production and artistic exchange across national borders (the choreographic material was recorded in video tutorials, which can be made digitally accessible), a wide variety of »In C« projects emerged until today.
On these pages we would like to give you a continuous insight into the diverse universe of »In C«. You can also contact us via this page if you too are interested in working with »In C«.

The world is changing and our democracy is endangered by a continuing shift to the right. Our artistic work is a permanent search for empathy and humanity. It strives against all forms of discrimination, violence and ideology and stands up for the democratic values of an open and diverse society. This is what in particular the project »In C«, not only a political piece, but actually a democratic process in dance and music, stands for: »It's about making decisions alone and together, connecting with one another, to listen, supporting each other, growing together, giving each other space, to feel what is needed, what you can do for the good of the entire community on the stage and not leaving anyone behind. Many of these ideas form the basis of democracy and are what is needed in our constantly changing societies at this moment in time.«
