With their wide-ranged performance and managing skills it has been a major concern of Farah Deen and Olivia Mitterhuemer to make the niche dance styles accessible to a broader audience since 2006. Their work includes national and international dance performances, theatre productions, music and commercial videos and teaching. In 2009 the collective founded the international Streetdance Festival Flavourama in Salzburg, which hosts more than 2000 people every year and is known all around the globe. In 2024, Potpourri Dance was awarded with the City of Salzburg’s Prize for Art and Culture for their year-long commitment. According to the gremium, Potpourri Dance’s work combines the city's classical high culture with the dynamic subculture of Hip Hop and House Dance, creating new, creative spaces for intercultural exchange. ︎&nbsp;Subscribe to our newsletter <img width="479" height="479" width_o="479" height_o="479" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/230984d040402de762dab716cf31ade2fb671f1cfcaaeb924311fc6cac377970/Potpourri_web-icons-08.png" data-mid="94415806" border="0" data-draggable src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/479/i/230984d040402de762dab716cf31ade2fb671f1cfcaaeb924311fc6cac377970/Potpourri_web-icons-08.png" /> <img width="784" height="777" width_o="784" height_o="777" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4507b08cda1c76acfc78bf80ee6c67a9823f05a9c1e418616397529c91338c54/Potpourri_Web-Shapes-01.png" data-mid="95908813" border="0" data-draggable src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/784/i/4507b08cda1c76acfc78bf80ee6c67a9823f05a9c1e418616397529c91338c54/Potpourri_Web-Shapes-01.png" /> <img width="742" height="986" width_o="742" height_o="986" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/09f4924b81b49bc6ff6784feeb87a49aabaa822c3e8633a87860f2937dbdfac9/Potpourri_Web-Shapes-02.png" data-mid="95908849" border="0" data-draggable src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/742/i/09f4924b81b49bc6ff6784feeb87a49aabaa822c3e8633a87860f2937dbdfac9/Potpourri_Web-Shapes-02.png" /> <img width="974" height="822" width_o="974" height_o="822" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5616a4cdecf1ac6977d66ac2ed485f72425877551d00e91e8779906261e3d28e/Potpourri_Web-Shapes-03.png" data-mid="95908964" border="0" data-draggable src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/974/i/5616a4cdecf1ac6977d66ac2ed485f72425877551d00e91e8779906261e3d28e/Potpourri_Web-Shapes-03.png" /> <img width="822" height="785" width_o="822" height_o="785" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5a5dd35ac7655ba727b959e15bebf2d8a983fc197a2cc966dc9418feb4786075/Potpourri_web-icons-04.png" data-mid="87813187" border="0" data-draggable src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/822/i/5a5dd35ac7655ba727b959e15bebf2d8a983fc197a2cc966dc9418feb4786075/Potpourri_web-icons-04.png" /> <img width="500" height="500" width_o="500" height_o="500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/adc02d98512069eb69cae5e2830655bbf78937ff8baae1ae395d734936119cdf/Potpourri_web-icons-05.png" data-mid="87813188" border="0" data-draggable src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/500/i/adc02d98512069eb69cae5e2830655bbf78937ff8baae1ae395d734936119cdf/Potpourri_web-icons-05.png" /> <img width="645" height="891" width_o="645" height_o="891" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ad39e17f05bed45170f369001dbd00a1ed1b39f44a9978d0ccceaf5f4da4f007/Potpourri_web-icons-03.png" data-mid="87813186" border="0" data-draggable src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/645/i/ad39e17f05bed45170f369001dbd00a1ed1b39f44a9978d0ccceaf5f4da4f007/Potpourri_web-icons-03.png" /> <img width="587" height="624" width_o="587" height_o="624" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e216d9f242d80dea14fa9c05be63d8532b4e7c897dc7603330c5f897b9a28167/Potpourri_web-icons-02.png" data-mid="87813185" border="0" data-draggable src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/587/i/e216d9f242d80dea14fa9c05be63d8532b4e7c897dc7603330c5f897b9a28167/Potpourri_web-icons-02.png" /> <img width="700" height="708" width_o="700" height_o="708" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/66191b4c905ec866dab9f56c23ac1f866e647b3f07ab0a53d0f36040d4fa3807/210108_Bubble_Web_2.gif" data-mid="94414035" border="0" data-draggable src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/700/i/66191b4c905ec866dab9f56c23ac1f866e647b3f07ab0a53d0f36040d4fa3807/210108_Bubble_Web_2.gif" /> <img width="567" height="566" width_o="567" height_o="566" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b74b0397f34d6dc7cd2a68476eede280bc49ed9e81a8ddee68b9774edb3324cb/Potpourri_web-icons-01.png" data-mid="87813184" border="0" data-draggable src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/567/i/b74b0397f34d6dc7cd2a68476eede280bc49ed9e81a8ddee68b9774edb3324cb/Potpourri_web-icons-01.png" /> https://potpourri.dance/LOOP-Dance-Theatre-Production Fri, 12 Jun 2026 18:34:35 +0000 Potpourri Dance https://potpourri.dance/LOOP-Dance-Theatre-Production LOOP - Dance Theatre Production ︎ Upcoming dates&nbsp; Four House dancers enter a loop. They walk, accelerate, dance. As the energy builds and a driving House set unfolds, four bodies find a shared rhythm. The loop depends on everyone. Attention. Precision. Constant responsiveness to one another. It continuously reshapes itself. Constellations shift, forms, lines and axes transform. Drawing on the collective practice of House Dance, its movement vocabulary and geometric forms such as the diamond, hexagon and octagon, LOOP develops a choreographic structure that can only exist through moving together.

Their dance is about the inability to breathe in a vacuum of expectations and constraints, while the world around them calls out for answers. Vacuum is a powerful and moving portrayal of the challenges and hopes, that today's generation faces. As part of Young Vibes, SZENE Salzburg's program for young audiences, the two choreographers Olivia Mitterhuemer &amp; Farah Deen from Potpourri Dance present their latest work Vakuum. At the beginning of the process, the duo embarked on a research phase at schools in Salzburg to find out, together with teenagers, what the young generation is concerned about. A co-production with SZENE Salzburg. Recommended from 12 years on.

With its captivating music that particularly appeals to young people, this art form is easily accessible and provides a creative outlet to take a break from everyday life. Through basic steps, groove exercises, and rhythm games, students can create their own imaginary club and express themselves beyond societal conventions. Besides teaching movement and dance in their classes, Farah and Olivia also take some time to talk about their lives and careers as full-time dancers, to inspire the younger generation for creative jobs. In 2025, this project is held in different schools in Salzburg and surroundings, funded by OeAD &amp; BMWKMS.

Two dancers reflect the inner attitudes and resistance of young people in the school context. In the course of the piece, the dancers encourage each other to overcome their own fears - through self-confidence and the power of community. The circular structure of the performance symbolizes unity and the common pursuit of "safe(r) spaces" in which the artists feel comfortable and can free themselves from any sense of shame and social constraints. House dance emerged in the underground clubs of Chicago and New York at the end of the 1970s and has since spread worldwide. The piece was conceived and rehearsed at the Hector Peterson School in Kreuzberg, Berlin. 15 school classes experienced and helped shape the artistic process during workshops and rehearsal visits.

In their dance performance 4 A.M., choreographers Olivia Mitterhuemer and Farah Deen invite their audience to delve into the spheres of House culture. Strongly influenced by the Afro-American and LGBTIQ+ community, House culture emerged in the clubs of Chicago and New York in the early 80s. Dance and music were primarily shaped by discrimination and oppression&nbsp; and the need of expression. Referring to the inclusive and non-judgmental character of the culture, the music’s repetitive and upbeat quality serves as the central anchor for the four performers’ physical experience. Inspired by various encounters with the European and American scene, they bring different human relationships on stage, all within a spectrum between self-doubt, distance, intimacy and ecstasy. An homage to the House club as a safe place, where social conventions disappear. At 4 A.M., House beats and physical exchange open up a space of danced transcendence and collective freedom - based on the performers‘ personal experiences as white women and women of colour being socialised in Europe. ︎ Upcoming dates Past dates: Feb 2022 | ARGEkultur Salzburg June 2022 | PURPLE Festival Berlin&nbsp; Aug 2022 | ImpulsTanz Vienna Concept &amp; Choreography: Farah Deen &amp; Olivia Mitterhuemer Tanz: Farah Deen, Paz Katrina Jimenez, Olivia Mitterhuemer, Rosa Perl (&amp; Tina Rauter) Dramaturgy: Philippe Riera Music Edit: TJ Hicks Light Design: Stefan EbnerCostume/Stage Design: Magdalena Neuburger Production: Verena Pircher A co-production between Potpourri and brut Wien.
