A BIG SUCCESS! Street vs. Stage - an urban and contemporary dance experience on 26.06.2014

The urban dance collective nutrospektif and the MichaelDouglas Collective were organising the event "Street vs. Stage" inside the KATALYST Festival 2014 with a never seen and new concept in Orangerie/Cologne: 
Two teams of dancers, one of contemporary and one of urban dancers were dancing against and with each other in three rounds. In each round each dancer had to face a task. The urban team, existing of dancers from nutrospektif & friends danced against dancers of the MichaelDouglas Collective & friends. In the first round each dancers represented his self on a given music by the DJ. The second round asked them to dance a task, eg.: Your knee is guiding you/ your hand is stuck on the floor/ you are leaving the club at 5am and you meet a pink elefant. In the third round the dancers where asked to choose a partner from "the other side" and dance a freestyle duo.

The event was a big success for the organisers (Douglas & Michael/MD Collectiv and Frost & Bahar/nutrospektif/Dirty Mamas Crew), the audience and the dancers. DJ Gregor Schwellenbach played a great and wide range of music for the dancers and host Engin brought the right athmosphere.
