It was called eX...it! and as a result of the huge popularity among choreographers, participants, audience and media, a regular festival has emerged, which is since then a highlight at Schloss Broellin every 4 years.

The work period provides the opportunity to be taught in different styles by all the invited choreographers.

In the production phase the learned will be  condensed into choreographies by the choreographers in order to stage a dance performance.

dance spectacles across the entire castle grounds.
