fuse-it
fuse it-workshop! gather all you've got! it’s what you already have, and what hides inside you that we push to the surface. we take all possible influences from around and inside us, isolate them, sharpen them, and put them together to create a versatile, musical, humorous and hot piece of dance. the emphasis is on your individual taste and working together as a community through positivity and hard work. we aim to grow together, not next to each other. we create an environment of trust to improve in what we do. we push, we don't stress! we work, we don't suffer! we enjoy, not just survive! we dance. we play games to warm up, we use theatrical tasks to let our personal borders fade, we create unique movement material, we dance phrases, and work on different levels of improvisation. i will show you ways to discover, accept, develop and dance your taste to its fullest. we practise this fusion, isolated and together, by constantly performing. i'm looking forward to burning up that floor with you!
the description reflects an artist’s idea which was developed at the time it was submitted to b12. it may have changed by the time the workshop or the performance project is starting. please stay flexible. thank you!

company info
sebastian zuber productions
sebastian zuber productions is a contemporary dance company founded in 2013 by basel-based choreographer sebastian zuber and anna friedrich. early works emerged during the studies in salzburg (professional failure, 2013; lowball, 2014). in 2016, accalia marked the first major production, touring internationally (fantoche festival baden, studio teatrgaleria warsaw, hangartfest pesaro, dschungel wien). with the site-specific projects industrial seagrass (2018) and shallow waters (2022), the company refined its distinctive language. shallow waters toured in 2023 and was restaged in basel. in 2025, the black box production honeymoon (co-production tanzhaus basel) continues this evolution with upcoming international shows (pesaro 2025, bern 2025, bonn 2026, berlin 2026). the productions explore how individuals respond to internal and external limitations and transform them into new spaces for action. working with precise choreographic structures, installation, sound, and projection, the company creates variable performance environments that address themes such as digital embodiment, collective dynamics, scarcity of resources, and physical exhaustion. limitations are not only represented, but serve as the motor for movement, form, and dramaturgy—opening new perspectives on freedom, adaptation, and transformation in contemporary performing arts.
