Ida Mahin & Max
Ida Mahin & Max are Goth fusion-style performers and instructors from Germany. They understand dance as a non-verbal, universally understandable language, in which aesthetic, cultural, and historical impulses from all over the world flow together. Their artistic focus lies in the awakening of characters, storytelling, and the mediation of truthful emotions. Their stage creations are heavily influenced by life, visual arts, cultures, concepts, literature, theatre, movies, and their deep love for a wide spectrum of dark music. In their workshops, Ida & Maxx devote significant attention to imparting background knowledge, far from clichés. They seek to reveal and enhance the individual skills of every single dancer, be they advanced or newbie.
