DIS_Lecture is a series of lecture performances by artists with learning disabilities from Novi Sad, Warsaw, and Hamburg. In the frame of zoom webinars, Dalibor Šandor, Natalija Vladisavljević, Dennis Seidel, Maja Kowalczyk and Aleksandra Skotarek will share their artistic practices which they develop in the field of contemporary performing arts. These artists are invited to appropriate the format of the lecture performance and challenge its ableism. They will reflect on dance, disability, text and body politics, as well as on the states of exclusion, isolation and resistance. Together with their long-term collaborators, they enter a sector from which they are historically excluded: the field of theory and discourse on dance and performance.

DIS_Lecture is created by Saša Asentić as an accessible format that contributes to the critical culture and solidarity in dance. Its aim is to create conditions for disability dance and performance artists to come together and share their work in public.

DIS_LECTURE on Escape to the Model Planet
by Dennis Seidel

In German with simultaneous translation into English spoken language, German subtitles and German audio description.
Duration: approx. 40 minutes

Yes, we all had that dream.
Wanted to go into space.
We saw the stars.
In the distance.

Yes, we had that dream, that dream.
We don't get any complaint.
From the earth.

Escape to the Model Planet is a series Dennis Seidel has been working on with Marcel Bugiel since March 2020. Many girls and also young women have the desire to become models. They find out that somewhere in outer space there is a planet called Vueling. With Barbie dolls, stuffed animals, adventure stories, self-written songs and preferably female roles, Emily Lindqvist (Dennis Seidel) reports on Lara Lindström's escape to the model planet: "Everything takes place in Sweden and please don't laugh if I disguise my voices now and then."

Dennis Seidel is part of the theater company Meine Damen und Herren and works as a director, actor and performer. He is passionate about image editing with Photoshop, traveling to other cities, photography, drawing comics and more. Dennis and Filomena Krause support each other's work on a regular basis and share a passion for romantic stories and keyboard music.
