Eagerly we sit in the Ephra Floor, because today the artist Stella Geppert is visiting us. When she arrives, we immediately sense the great calm and openness that Stella radiates. To get to know her and us even better, we start with a welcome game. Standing in a large circle, we all say our names one after the other and think of a special movement to go with it. Then Stella takes her place in the centre of the stage and is ready for our questions.

Today, the artist Asad Raza is visiting us in the Ephra floor. Asad is from New York and therefore speaks mainly English, which is a new experience for us. But some of us already feel quite confident in English and Rebecca is on hand to help us with difficult translations. We want to start the conversation with Asad with an ice-breaker question to lighten the mood. One of us asks: "If you were an animal, which one would you be?" Asad replies that he would like to be a dolphin because he would enjoy swimming in the water. It's a hot May day and we can all well imagine what a nice way to cool down it would be to swim in the big ocean as a dolphin.

The artist Ikram Labouini is coming to our floor today. We’re excited to meet her and discuss beforehand how we want to talk to Ikram because she comes from Italy and only speaks and understands a little German. We agree to speak mainly English with her. Luckily, many of us already know some English and otherwise Rebecca is by our side to help us with the translation.
