LYN BENTSCHIK

Come and join the Wildcard at Dampfzentrale Bern on 12.04.2026 at 13.30 (sharp).

Coco Xo and Lyn Bentschik bring their “Pain Edition” to Wild Card, opening a space where pain is allowed to be a friend. Pain free from diagnosis, cure, and pathologization. There are few spaces in society where pain can be named without having to get rid of it, categorize it, or frame it as a problem.

What is Wild Card?

The weekly Wild Card Training offers an ideal set-up with experimental live DJing for your self-directed movement practice within a collective setting. The ever-growing and evolving community of practice serves dancers and DJs as a safe space for experimentation and as a site to rehearse different ways of being together—counter to normative movement forms, consumption, and ecstasy.
Beyond attributions related to gender, age, ableism, professionalism, or preconceived ideals, the training is open to all bodies, levels, and styles.

The three basic rules of Wild Card Training:

No (physical) touching – No judging – No (passive) watching.

Please note: The training session starts promptly at 13:30. To ensure everyone begins from the same point, it is important that we start together. Therefore, no entry will be permitted once the session has begun.
