Commented walk In the Footsteps of Tanec Praha with Open House Prague guide Michal Šedivý

There is probably no need to convince anyone that Žižkov is a peculiar district. But did you know that there is also a Lower Žižkov? Discover it on a walk focused mainly on the period from the second half of the 19th century – when the suburban village became one of the largest independent Czech cities – to the middle of the 20th century, when construction development was practically completed here. On the walk you will listen not only to the stories of František Josef, but also tales from local pubs and the area of forensics. The Lower Žižkov district comes to life during the year under the guidance of the Tanec Praha organization. During the walk you will see three buildings that are closely connected with Tanec Praha and play a key role in the history of the district: PONEC – the dance venue, Krenovka and the municipal spa Žižkov, which will be transformed into a House of Dance in the future. In addition, you will see the old (and even older) Žižkov Town Hall, the two buildings that housed the Žižkov District Court, and the house with the Catholic Chapel of the Virgin Mary or the Evangelical Bethlehem Chapel of Žižkov.

16:00-17:00 | PONEC - dance venue / stage
Eli & kol. & coll. / Mirka Eliášová: Boxing Up - workshop

Workshop for playful builders from 4 to 100+ years of age 

Through movement, dance, live music and rhythm we will explore what all the things are that boxes can represent. And what if there are more of them or if someone lives in them? How can we make them our own? Rearrange them, send them, jump over them or go around them? What if we try to build something, knock it down and build again? 

Boxing Up invites to a world of fantasy, in which even seemingly ordinary things turn into something unusual. Just open your eyes, turn on your imagination, get moving and play.

The workshop is based on the Boxig Up performance which we will present on December 5th, 2021
