The Six Tibetans are, so to speak, the espresso of yoga, short and intense. The movements seem simple, but are complex. The correct coordination of short yoga exercises with the breathing rhythm, as well as simultaneous multiple muscle contractions and muscle relaxation is very important. In the beginning difficult, but with time, like driving a car, an almost automatic process. With daily exercise, the Six Tibetans achieve a noticeable increase in vitality and well-being in a relatively short time. The pelvic floor is strengthened, the kundalini is activated and our whirling energy centres, the chakras, are set in motion. Lust is tingling through all areas of life.
Acroyoga beginner workshop with Lasse und Anne AcroYoga is a mixture of acrobatics and partner yoga and trains strength, balance, flexibility, courage and trust. Sore muscles and happiness hormones guaranteed ;) - Flying on our feet we start into the festival day outside on the meadow with the sun on our faces. Let us playfully combine movement and aesthetics, laugh, feel, dare, fight and simply have a lot of fun. Come alone or with a partner and if you have a yoga mat, bring it with you. We are looking forward to seeing you!

Air Cushion Finish formed in Berlin in 2007 and comprised composer/player jayrope and natural vocal synthesizer Lippstueck, who had enjoyed playing Berlin’s underground together since the 1990s. Changing setup and subsequently music is programmatic to them, as well as having friends as guest musicians, all resulting into an unforeseeable slow motion cacophony of whispers, bleeps, rhythms and harmonies. There’s a notion of Dada, but you never know.
Some games you want to win, others you just want to play. In many games you want both. Playing is fun. Winning too. Why not play politics like a multiplayer shooter? With a motivated team and unsuspecting opponents? With a destructible environment, successful missions and flags to conquer? Parts of the radical right are doing this with great success. In the lecture we see some examples from Germany and the USA.

From the depths of the apocalyptic city of Buenos Aires, transported to humble Berlin, Atalaya travels in search of a wide sound in the studious art of improvisation for 6 and 12 string guitars, chasing spiritual restlessness and generating different panoramas. All of this together forming a spiritual, trance-inducing vision. With ears ready to hear him begin the journey, losing yourself on the horizon.

Sometimes pirates and seagulls have to write things down: the wind direction and poems, love letters, small and large notes. For this we want to bind notebooks from collected scraps of paper and pieces of cloth. We will introduce you to different binding techniques in the atelier, but you can also use the craft room as free space and work and bind according to your ideas. At the end we have small notebooks in which you can keep your at.tension thoughts and summer finds.
The climate activists of the hour have gathered in conti:nu: Fridays for Future, Ende Gelände, Extinction Rebellion and Parents for Future Act Now! This autumn is marked by protests to change the future of our planet. Why is it so urgent right now to take to the streets and take action? How can we convince other people? In workshops with climate activists you can get ready for colourful and creative protests and make rebel costumes, paint posters and rehearse actions. Then we go together over the at.tension and mobilize everyone which we will meet on the way, as a climate demo!
Humans operate on instruments that behave like hybrids between the Digital and the Organic – self-made drums, specially designed circuits and proliferating cables, that send ideas from one agent to the other like on nerve pathways. The eyes are rarely opened, mostly they project images into the void, hoping to be visible to the others, too, until eventually, when looks are exchanged, smiling faces will speak for themselves.

Body Language - What character are you playing? How many times do you notice your body language? How you act, speak, move, do - is often based on who is around you. We become who we think the other “wants” us to be - losing the freedom and confidence of being ourselves. 10% of what we “speak” and “hear” is verbal – with 90% of our communication being body based. Nonverbal cues such as posture, breathe, physical tension or relaxation, eye contact – while not “spoken” are far louder in meaning – and communicate far more than our words alone. Learning to tune into and actively use our body’s nonverbal skills – builds cohesion between our words and our actions. Meaning, instead of playing the character of who you think “they” will like most - you get to play the character of YOU. Side effects include. self confidence, empathy, understanding, and connection - leading to freedom of expression, fun, and connective communication.

Camp Europe is a short grotesque account of the misery that Europe has done to the world and to itself. A french woman and a german man deconstruct their own history during a camping stay. Instead of enjoying the privilege of a paid holiday, the two characters get into a historical object theatre epic. Satire is appropriate to talk about this Europe that has always been conservative and xenophobic. We caricature our own behaviour in order to provoke a reaction: Can Europe not also be tolerant and responsible?

The organization in reference groups is a good strategy to remain capable of action on a demo and to protect oneself. It allows at least a certain degree of collective decision-making and does not leave everything to blind group dynamics. The core is the "quick decision making", which works even in stressful extreme situations. With numerous games and exercises, this method and other skills are practiced for demos.

The short silent film "The Shell and the Cleric" (La Coquille et le Clergyman) by Germaine Dulac, based on a screenplay by Antonin Artaud, is generally regarded as the first surrealist film ever. Contrary to our viewing habits, the film is not simply accompanied by music, but enters into a dialogue with music and spoken word. In fact, it becomes the companion of the event itself. The film serves as a foil and time frame for the reading of excerpts from various surrealist manifestos and fragments of Freudian psychoanalysis. It also provides the rhythm for the background music on the prepared piano and cello. The parallel, intertwining and juxtaposition of text, image and sound results in a multi-layered impression of surrealism.

Starting from the "Danza del venado" (Dance of the Deer), the traditional dance of the Mayo Yoreme people from the northwest of Mexico, the animal existence of the Venado in the body is examined. The constant tension between man and animal spirit is created through movement and deformation, through an intense scale of animal drives, composed and confronted by external disturbances, music and voices.

My good therapist "Frau Eisenstein" treats the at.tension! After the success of their a capella hardcore band "Scheiße" (“Shit”), the duo Eno di Sastro and Sy Fableman transformed the hit "Diskurs, Diskurs mit Dir" (“Discourse, discourse with you”) into a series of conversations on stage. Anyone who now thinks “I can also speak alone” (“Sprechen kann ich auch alleine“) does not underestimate the great recovery factor that this passive therapy brings with it. The indication: an antipathological piece on the topics trans*, bdsm, and work. With suspicion of self-optimization and addiction to capitalism.

A police station and patrols on festival site? Police patrolling without apparent reason? Tanks and water cannon? The weeks and months before the festival were turbulent. The authorities constrained our proofed and established security concept and the realisation of Fusion Festival was questioned until the end. Eventually, Zeit Online investigated a police scandal about an attack to on our freedom, with the demanded security measure only being the tip of the iceberg. We take a look at the backstory of the scandal and what else might evolve from this in the future.

More and more racist, sexist or anti-Semitic positions are becoming socially acceptable. The regulars' table talk has found its way into the office, the sports studio and the German parliament. How can one encounter this instead of being speechlessly annoyed about it? Is the uncle Hitlering off at Christmas dinner again? Fugitives have nothing to do "here" for these and those reasons? This is not just a nuisance, but a contradiction. This can be thought through intellectually as often as you like. One is often speechless and bewildered by racist, homophobic, sexist or anti-Semitic statements. Yet, recently, the intention was to be more quick-witted in these situations. The activists of the "Echt jetzt" project thought the same thing and are now giving tips on how to use practical ideological criticism next time without lacking the words to counter the argument.

Intuition is the soundless voice of our indwelling ancient wisdom from which we are led from the unconscious into the expanded consciousness.

Close to the real dangers stands the bonbonnière of fears. It is well filled with pictures, sounds and questions. Does the gay marriage destroy the classic family with the axe directly in front of the registry office or only in front of the church? Do refugees sit in the trees and eat our apple harvest? Is my hair sitting, can I take the profile photo? Will I be able to have good sex on the battlefield? If I cannot do yoga, can I still drink beer? Do chemtrails destroy our airspace? So, let us wallow in the bonbonnière, be afraid!
Classism is real. Even in the left wing scene. Although existential fears often have no place here. The sentence "I have no money" is more of a lifestyle solution than a real struggle. But not all of them grew up in academic homes. Intertwined with an actual or alleged migration history and gender, there are even greater exclusions. With this workshop we would like to approach a feminist anti-classism and find out together what anti-classist struggles can look like from an affected and privileged perspective and what it means to actually be in solidarity with each other. That is why we first have to spill our beans and listen.

The sound art project is a complete work of art, it gently opens the gates of perception, in which dream and reality blur: You see what you hear and you hear what you see.

Lonski&Classen have been playing music together since their childhood. The duo crafts their songs with guitar, drums and two voices with devotion for the "here and now“ on stage and the ecstatic experience that music can produce.Their sound oscillates between Krautrock, Blues and Singer-Songwriter yet always ready for a portion of improvisation. In 2007, when Lonski & Classen released their first EP, or rather mini-album, on which everything their music was someday to become had already been laid out, they had found their own unmistakable language. .

Therefore the masked group dynamics is now a guest at at.tension. There is a theoretical and a practical part of the workshop. The theoretical part deals with roles and phases in groups. In the practical part it is playfully about the switch of roles within the group.

Moody has faced personal and social challenges from a very young age – as a Palestinian born and raised in Israel, and also living with genetic disease Nystagmus Horizontal – often called ‘dancing eyes’ due to it causing involuntary eye movement. Never allowing anything to hold him back, Moody embraced these challenges – music becoming his saviour, his tool for self-expression and his passion.

The Polizeiklasse sees itself as an activist collective that uses artistic-performative means to oppose the increasingly authoritarian tendencies in democratic societies. Founded in 2018 as a resistant reaction against the tightening of the Bavarian police law in Munich, the topic complex "authoritarian turning/criticism of the police" is increasingly gaining public relevance. The discussion about the police presence on Fusion, the disclosure of right-wing extremist networks within the police, the tightening of police laws across German federal states or the possibility of AfD participation in government are only the most prominent reasons. In an introductory lecture followed by a discussion, representatives of the Polizeiklasse report on the ups and downs of their activist practice, discuss various artistic forms of action and place their actions in the current political context.

Fulmen presents the truth as a female occupied territory and deals with the term house/home. She takes up classical female roles - housewife, whore, dancer, fitness woman, exhibition object - and translates them into sound and movement. Auto-imaginary stimulation, "erotic" movements of the female body are found in bizarre confrontations with bodybuilding, male images of sex appeal and the "classical" role of the "housewife", the dominatrix, the mistress in the house. Doma Constructa is the female variant of the word "Domus", Latin "house" and sounds similar to "Boa constrictor".

What should we be prepared for when state order collapses? And what better not? In this workshop, the taz reporters give tips for practical survival among Germans - and report on their investigative research around the Hannibal network.

Some of them even with enemy lists of anti-fascist, left-wing, green and other political opponents. At the centre of a nationwide network: an elite soldier with the chat name "Hannibal". In this workshop the taz reporters tell about their research. Without weapons.

Defending solidarity: NSU Tribunal goes Chemnitz Life in Saxony is worse and better than many think. Whatever the outcome of the state elections on September 1, 2019, there is a Saxony of migrant self-assertion and anti-fascist solidarity. At an anti-racist tribunal in Chemnitz from 1 to 3 November we will connect the migrant struggles together with the network "We'll come united". With refugees, former contract workers, PoCs and migrants we will accuse the structural racism in Saxony. We will name the perpetrators and focus on the perspective of those affected by racist violence. For us, solidarity means that our different stories are not an obstacle to a common struggle against racism and fascism. In this workshop we will take you on a journey through time through migration, racism and resistance in Saxony before and after the fall of communism. We will also inform you about the Tribunal in Chemnitz and the possibility to build alliances of solidarity with and in Saxony. We have to talk, Hadi! Come by and talk to us! #WirKlagenan #Solidaritätverteidigen #UnitedAgainstRacism #UnitedAgainstFascism
Zombies! ... they are us and we are them! This film character has established itself as an everlasting, timelessly topical allegory of being human in pop culture. Zombies as a metaphor for an adapted vegetable, submissive and uncritical obedience, passive consumption and disinterest. The living dead, the willless being. "Solo Terror" is a solo performance that physically and psychologically explores the condition of this figure. A gruesome-amusing and tragic journey from life to death and from death to life.

We are Strangers in a Strange Land, wandering in a fog of forgetting, accepting our conditions as "normal." How to escape from this labyrinth, the Tour of Babble-on? Alien-nation, what to do? As in the Asian tradition, we present a variety of moods from comic to odious to heroic. Cat Hearth, with 50 years of theatre experience, portrays 10 characters using masks, songs, dance, and voice. Warning: this play may provoke you to think for yourself and question authority. Please turn your mobile phone off and leave all preconceptions outside!

Team:intim - an experimental noise drama - shows itself tender, shy, brachial. In their sound collages, text and sound are found anew every time. Always different. Fragments merge to caressing harmonies, which sometimes tear into deep abysses.

In western societies, permanent self-improvement is one of the most important requirements for its members. The demand for self-optimization affects all areas of life. Whether at work or at leisure, we are all called upon to make the most of our lives. This not only creates stress, exhaustion and isolation, but also a state of dissatisfaction with what is right now, be it with our not yet optimized life, be it with our not yet optimized self. In this workshop we will approach this topic in a playful and physical way in order to develop a theatrical alternative to the self-optimization imperative. Please bring along clothes in which you can move well.
The ignition collective (Zündkollektiv)is taking the lead in pyrotechnics: between the instrument of securing power and resistive iconography, between physical foundations and philosophical considerations, between ecstatic customs and legal shackles, between one's own application of theatre pyrotechnics and professional fireworks, various aspects of the fiery element are illuminated - in the truest sense of the word.

Winne Clement is not a folk musician or traditionalist belonging to any group. He´s simply someone passionate about wood and sound. When he was in his twenties he heard the sound of a ney on the radio, and later the fujara, and he remembers being completely mesmerized. This was it. Out of a personal compulsion to play a unique, quality instrument with a touching character, he started making them for himself. After many years of study and trial and error, a whole world opened up for him. Instrument making was so powerfully consuming that it took over his life completely. He found himself doing nothing else from morning until deep in the night, playing music and searching for that utopian 'ideal' instrument.

How do we move in public space? Can we transform the city or a situation at the festival through a demonstration? How does a body demonstrate? With which movements and gestures do we want to demonstrate what? Together in this workshop we will develop movements that work in the movement as a group, through dance, choreography, choirs and actions and in the end can be the basis for demo tutorials. A format for a new demonstration culture Juliane Meckert & Awâtef Gerda Porro
