This workshop combines self-defence techniques with reflection on everyday safety strategies. It is led by Birgit Tönnies (Seitenwechsel e.V.), a pioneer of women’s martial arts in Berlin and trainer since 1983, a multiple-time German and European champion in karate and kickboxing. Together with theatre makers Natasha Borenko and Lidiia Golovanova, the group will practice physical techniques and explore everyday situations through guided exercises and discussion. The workshop is part of an artistic research for the participatory performance »Self defence. No offence.« (19.+21.6.).

We invite FLINTA+ people to take part. Whether you are experienced or new to self-defence, we’ll be happy to meet you. We can have up to 20 participants, please register.

* FLINTA+ stands for: Female, Lesbian, Intersex, Non-binary, Trans*, and Agender people.
