Rosas Repertory - Rain
able to "live" within the structure

This Rosas repertory workshop will focus on the "men's material" of “Rain”. This material is mostly danced by the men in the original version, but by no means exclusively. It is dynamic with lots of organic floor work. After learning the phrase material, we will create new choreographies based on the compositional structures used in “Rain”. These structures range from the more free creative (manipulations, partnering) to the more mathematical (like any true Rosas creation, metronomes will be involved). Structure is a fundamental element of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's work and it is most often rooted in the music - in this case in the emotive minimalist composition of Steve Reich's “Music for Eighteen Musicians”. The challenge for any performer is to be able to "live" within the structure.
