Rave Studio

Society would be better if we danced every day. Let's come together and get moving! Connor Schumacher invites you to the ARK Rave Studio: an ambitious concept for fitness, wellness, and dance activism. A space where you can move with enthusiasm and admiration. Where you can practice being human by engaging the Raving body, progressing slowly in all directions.

Rave Studio is a dynamic meditation. A high-intensity interval training. A rave aerobics session where we build metaphors. We cultivate the skills and endurance needed to strengthen the values of inclusive rave culture. The physical exercises we engage in become our mental abilities. So, get moving with ARK/Connor Schumacher at the Blikopener Festival!

About ARK/Connor Schumacher

Dance artist Connor Schumacher is the artistic director of the ARK Foundation. Here, he creates raves, performances, and movement classes with the aim of getting people moving, both physically and mentally. Connor's deep conviction is that society would be much better if everyone danced every day.

The dance organization ARK/Connor Schumacher aspires to deliberately create dance spaces anywhere. Dancing is not only linked to acquiring social and emotional skills but also to identity and public engagement. On the dance floor, people become aware of themselves, the space, and with whom they share it. ARK/Connor Schumacher utilizes our steps on the dance floor to instill new habits by embodying the values we aspire to live by together.
