TANZ: Fools’ Day, April 1
Budapest, Fényes Adolf u. 23, 1036 Magyarország
About this dance
A two-hour gathering of dance, music, presence, and mark-making.
Hosted by Anna Pakosz, a London-based painter, with music curated by Saci Nagy, founder of NASHA, now beginning a new chapter as DJ Sashumomo.
Born from friendship, shared studio days in Budapest, and a love of dance and music, this evening opens a space to be together, to move, and to share collectively beyond words.
You are invited to dance, but also to move in other ways. Sheets of paper and charcoal will be available on the floor for moments when drawing feels closer than dancing. You are welcome to follow your attention freely, moving between gesture, rest, observation, and presence.
There will also be room to slow down: to sit, to watch, to meditate, to pull a tarot card, or simply to breathe.
We will gather at Textilgyár. If the weather permits, we will hold the dance outdoors on the patio. Otherwise, the event will take place in the loft on the first floor.
This is our first dance event. Please come with an open heart.
Doors open at 6.45 pm. Please arrive by 7.10 pm, when the doors will close. We will begin with an opening circle, share a few words about the evening, and ease into the space through a short guided relaxation.

Three simple guidelines
Learn more about ecstatic danceWe dance barefoot
This allows us to connect more fully with the ground. Socks are OK, and dance shoes are fine if a physical condition calls for them.
We dance without words
This makes it easier to be in a meditative state. No verbal instruction from the facilitators, no talking from the dancers.
We dance sober, as we are
No drugs or alcohol, no phones or cameras, no scents. Just be yourself, with respect for ourselves, the space and one another.
