The freerunner: parkour as a way of life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI first discovered parkour on YouTube. To move freely through urban space, to surmount obstacles without assistive equipment \u2013 I imitated what I saw without even knowing the name for the sport. The fascination has not diminished. You don\u2019t need anything apart from a pair of trainers. You go out, start running and immediately get this incredible sense of freedom. The odd graze or bruise is to be expected, but serious injuries are rare, though I did once break a metatarsal in my foot. Since I started, I\u2019ve done parkour in London, Rome, Prague \u2013 you can find like-minded people everywhere. Dresden is a good city for parkour, especially the newer building sites which tend to have more regular edges and smoother surfaces.\u201d\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You go out, start running and immedialety get this incredible sense of freedom.<\/p>Leonard Fischer, student, born 2000 in Dresden<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The dancer: expressing innermost feelings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen dancing, I am able to externalise my inner feelings,\u00a0to express myself without the use of words<\/a>\u00a0and thereby utter the unutterable. Whenever I do it well, it is the greatest happiness I know. I have been dancing since I first went to the Palucca School in Dresden at the age of ten. Dresden is a city of dance \u2013 the legendary Mary Wigman taught here, and Gret Palucca was her student. Dresden has the ballet ensemble of the Semperoper, of course, but there is also an extensive free dance scene. The Festspielhaus at Hellerau offers a wonderful performance venue for all these creators of dance. Everyone finds their own audience here.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When dancing, I am able to utter the unutterable. Whenever this works out, it is the greatest happiness.<\/p>Katja Erfurth, dancer and choreographer, born 1971 in Dresden<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The cyclist: traveling in all directions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe\u00a0Schleudergang<\/a>\u00a0(spin cycle) started in Nuremberg. The name was essentially a play on words, because the cyclists used to meet up in front of a laundromat. For seven years now, Dresden has had its own \u2018spin cycle\u2019. The idea is to bring people together: cycling is a social sport because you can occasionally ease off on the pedals and chat to your fellow riders. Here in Dresden, we meet twice a week. Tuesday\u2019s three-hour session is relatively relaxed, but onThursday, we go hell for leather. We go exploring all directions: south to Freital, east into Saxon Switzerland, west into the Meissen hills and north where it is much flatter. The Elbland region with its mountains is ideal for cycling, because there is nothing more boring than proceeding in a straight line. When you ride through the scenery we have around here, it\u2019s almost like you\u2019re floating.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n
