Swiss choreographer and performer Gregory Stauffer will present Walking, a solo dance performance in Dhaka today (2 April).

The contemporary dance performance is scheduled to be held at the Goethe-Institut auditorium in Dhanmondi, Dhaka on at 7:00pm, says a press release.

This performance is jointly brought to Dhaka by the Embassy of Switzerland in Bangladesh and Goethe-

Institut Bangladesh, in collaboration with Pro Helvetia – Swiss Arts Council.

Walking is a solo performance by eminent performer and choreographer Gregory Stauffer. This site-specific act is Stauffer’s tribute to the ground that supports changing verticalities, dreams and ambitions, as it traces life’s journey. Walking suggests that an individual’s environment, mind and body are connected to each other to form a musical chord.

Admission to the event is on first-come first-serve basis as seating arrangement is limited. Complimentary entry passes can be collected from Goethe Institut Bangladesh’s Dhanmondi premises.

Gregory Stauffer is based in Geneva, Switzerland. He has a playful and serious mind.

Since 2006 he has created works which are deliberately located in a transverse and blurred territory between dance and performance. His work has been performed as

much in theaters and festivals as in galleries.

Stauffer will also conduct a workshop during his stay in Dhaka which will be attended by young dancers from Bangladesh.
