ERIH_WORKitOUT

ERIH's dance event WORK it OUT premiered in 2018 to celebrate the European Year of Cultural Heritage. Due to its great success, the event has been organised annually since then, co-funded by the European Union.

WORK it OUT is aimed primarily at young people and of course, people young at heart, who can thus consciously experience industrial heritage and its sites. 

On the day of the event the dance takes place in front of, in and even on impressive industrial heritage sites throughout Europe and the industrial monuments are staged as an attractive place to experience. 

Before that, the easy to learn dance can be trained via You Tube tutorial. The music, with elements from Beethoven's European anthem "Ode to Joy" in electronic dance style or as a rap version, is re-composed every year, as is the specially developed choreography, which transfers handles and gestures of work from earlier times to modern moves.
