Terpsichore's flying carpet
Terpsichore‘s flying carpet
Terpsichore whirls. And innumerable dance people whirl with her through the autumn festivals.
In view of the countless offers one‘s request arises to reassign a flying carpet instead of a lyre and a plectrum to the muse of dance and fly around with her.
First station Braunschweig:
Nik Haffner invites us to experiment at the festival TANZtheater International, while André Gingras sends the audience on a tramp.
Till Eulenspiegel - as a native of Braunschweig - would have taken a lot of pleasure in this event!
At the same time we could enjoy Erna Òmarsdottir and the anarchic PONI‘S at Vooruit, letting them enter our auditory canals and being eye witness of orgiastic deconstructions.
This cyclone will also come up to the Mousonturm.
Next stop Lausanne. Phillip Saire made a choreography for the Dance Theatre of Ireland, lonesome cowboy will be shown in the frame of the Festival International de Danse de Lausanne. There we meet old friends as Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Maria Clara Villa-Lobos, Perceuse Productions received the carte blanche and we are looking forward to the result.
Back to Germany, where Pina Bausch is glad about 3 weeks full of exciting and emotional encounters. We are pleased to watch numerous pieces of the Tanztheater Wuppertal just as well as the works of Brice Leroux, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Josef Nadj and all the others bringing our cerebral windings to rotation.
Regarding the structures of dance politics for the future, it is expedient to observe Hortensia Völker‘s Tanzplan Deutschland, we keep you updated.
On we fly to the Festival d‘ Automne , Paris opens its gates for an event looking for its equals.
Where do I start? Concerning dance, the iridescent spectrum varies from Anne Halprin, the pioneer of post-modern dance and Mathilde Monnier to Alain Buffard, Jérôme Bel lets the show go on.
After his visit at the Wiener Festwchen 04, DJ Spooky‘s Rebirth Of A Nation floods eyes and ears with impressions.
Nan Goldin sources the chapel Saint-Louis, we think back to her side-trip at the Kunsthalle Wien and want more. Even if it hurts.
The Atelier Michel Foucault deserves closer attention, attending with a special philosophical input.
Apropos input:
The Deutsche Tanzarchiv Köln offers 3 exhibitions at the same time moving around dance.
The reconstruction of the body on the basis of photography, the discourse about the reception of recorded movement and the cinematic reflexions about dance take centre stage.
The international developments of contemporary dance stand in the centre of the Austrian festival Zeitgenössischer Tanz Oktober and Dornbirn should not just look out for Fremdkörper.
For the opening of the Theaterhaus für Kinder, the Belgian collective Victoria visit Vienna with their piece „White Star“.
Human beings who want to be somebody else (that‘s the theme of the piece), in real life the Theaterhaus für Kinder is going to be the Dschungel Wien.
And we would like to be children again - in terms of these offers...
For all of you, whose drive for movement is still irresistible, there are some workshops that are worth flying on:
People who want to reconcile Portugal and Meg Stuart, have the chance at Forum Danca from September 13 - 17.
Alexander Petlura, collector of wondrous things, is looking for 12 dancers for his workshop at la bâtie, whose age, height, weight and sex are completely unimportant. The selected dancers will perform „Observing Observers“ - colour explosions included.
Anybody willing to despense his fingerprints and never had a chance before, could combine the useful with the enjoyable and attend a Movement Research workshop in New York:
Janis Brenner, Katie Duck, DD Dorvillier, Andrew Harwood and Chris Aiken, together with the teachers of the ongoing classes, are worth a journey to the States.
Enjoy flying on the carpet, watching and moving!
