DANCE
Body Moving
- Dance for All!
A fringe event of the exhibition is Body Moving – Dance for All, a dance class series in the courtyard of the Kassák Museum (Zichy Mansion).
The program for the popularization of dancing launched in 2009 offers three occasions to try out various modern and contemporary dance techniques and forms of movement that inspire contemporary dance. The free classes held by excellent dance teachers can be joined by all without any preliminary training.
Produced in cooperation with the Parallel Foundation and the Kassák Foundation.
LECTURES, GUIDED TOURS
Angles on Kassák
As part of the 20!2 KASSÁK YEAR events, the Kassák Museum is holding a series of talks and guided exhibition tours reflecting on issues of the present and Kassák’s current relevance. The talks are categorically subjective, because the speakers – public figures from related arts and other areas of study – approach Kassák from the standpoint of their own work.
The Museum’s aim with this series is to show that the approach Kassák took as an artist and editor to the relationship between society and culture at that time, and the issues he raised, are still alive and valid today. We also want to present individual views on Kassák’s life and work, taken from unusual angles. Ultimately, we would like to see Kassák interpretations being linked to contemporary phenomena.
PUBLICATION
Be a co-editor with Lajos Kassák!
Written for secondary school teachers and students, this new teaching material links up with the Kassák Museum’s permanent exhibition. It involves learners in a dialogue where they imagine themselves as Kassák’s colleagues and observe his work in art, literature and social issues, with particular focus on editing his journal.
