• Saturday, November 18, 8:00 p.m. – Tanztendenz
  Marcus Steinweg: Empty Space (Lecture in English)
  
  To think means to surrender oneself to the madness of an acceleration which carries the subject beyond its objects. It does not give birth to them. It pulls them toward itself because it is already there, where no object had been. This is the empty space between the present and the future. What Gilles Deleuze calls Becoming occurs in this space. Beyond history in the midst of history.

  Franziska Konitzer: A Cosmic Standpoint Localization (Lecture in English)
  
  This much is nearly certain: we find ourselves in a universe that has been continually enlarging for approximately 13.8 billion years. The Laniakea Supercluster contains the Local Group of galaxies, to which the Milky Way galaxy belongs. And in one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way is a more or less unspectacular star with a mostly blue planet orbiting around it. That’s us! But where exactly are we? How can possibly know all this when, strictly speaking, we’re all firmly stuck on the Earth’s surface?

    Dominic Eskofier: Introduction to Virtual Reality:
    Enlivening a Stage with Unlimited Possibilities
    
    In this lecture by Dominic Eskofier, Head of Virtual Reality in EMEAI at Nvidia, we learn how immersive technologies such as VR could potentially transform the world of theater. The stage has no boundary and the props have no limits in the virtual world. How might an actor handle this situation? What challenges arise? And how can this world of unlimited possibilities be used to blaze new trails for storytelling?
    
    
    
  • Tuesday, November 21, 8:00 p.m. – schwere reiter
    Lars Henrik Gass: Film and Art after Cinema: An Objection
    
    On the cinema as a location, “a mental space in which one no longer observes, reflects upon or imagines a reality, but is lost in time and compelled to perceive.” “The cinema was the place that took away my freedom and suggested another life which is diametrically opposite to my opinion about the world.”
    
    
    
  • Wednesday, November 22, 8:00 p.m. – schwere reiter
    Axel Krüger: Prison Architecture
    
    Axel Krüger’s lecture focuses on the architectonic challenges involved in the planning of extremely closed and enclosing spaces. PLAN2, his architectural office, is also well known for the buildings it designed for the judiciary in Munich, Bremervörde, Zwickau, Frankfurt and Saarbrücken.
    
    
    
  • Thursday, November 23, 8:00 p.m. – schwere reiter
    Birgit Wiens: Theater Architecture as a Blueprint for Society:
    Walter Gropius and Francis Kéré
    
    The question of new spatial concepts has been a recurrent theme in theatrical and architectural discourse since the beginning of the 20th century. As examples, this lecture focuses on two projects in modern and contemporary theater architecture: Walter Gropius’ “Total Theater,” which was designed on commission from Erwin Piscator as a “spatial machine” and a “communal theater that would unite people” (1927, never built); and Francis Kéré, whose “Satellite Theater” (for Chris Dercon’s Volksbühne in Berlin/Tempelhof, 2017, partially realized) alludes to Gropius’ visionary concept nearly half a century later. The theatrical-aesthetic, spatial-theoretical, socio- and (cultural-) political implications of both projects will be discussed.
    
    
    
  • Friday, November 24, 8:00 p.m. – schwere reiter
    Thomas Dörfler: Spatial Images and Reality: On the Genesis of Concepts of the World
    
    A short history of the development of understandings of space from prehistory to the postmodern era, from Altamira to GoogleMaps: What consequences does today’s concept of the simultaneity and relationality of space have for our daily lives? What does it mean when our notions of space nowadays are almost exclusively cognitive and no longer haptic, sensory or atmospheric? The lecture concludes with examples from urban development and architecture to present what Lefebvre calls the “lived space” as the repressed of the modern understanding of space.

    Choreographers invite you into their world: The Tanztendenz series STANDPUNKT.e focuses on the subtexts of artistic work and seduces the audience into other perspectives on contemporary dance. Here, choreographers give insight into their artistic backgrounds and sources of inspiration, illuminating those objects, people, thoughts that are central to their work. In 2023, the Berlin-based choreographer Christoph Winkler, one of the most productive and profiled choreographers on the independent scene, will be our guest. He is always looking for new "choreographic-intellectual friction surfaces in a social context" (Jury Deutscher Tanzpreis 2022).
    
    The choreographer will set up a walk-through course with various stations - photo exhibition, video station, billboards, stage elements and a soundscape throughout the house - that reflects, explains and comments on the focal points of his artistic career, his oeuvre. His long-time companions Oluwafemi Israel Adebajo from Ogun State (Ijebu North), born and raised in Bariga, Lagos Nigeria, and Ridwan Rasheed, from the Nigerian state of Oyo, will enliven this course with performative interventions.
    
    One of these is a part of the three-part work "Radical Minimal" (2022) by the company Christoph Winkler; "Come out", based on a composition by Steve Reich, whose sound material originates from the Harlem Riots of 1964, is based both on the reception history of the piece in music and dance and on its connection to the American civil rights movement.

    Death is a dancer: Towards the end of last year, the author's mother passed away after a long life. A deep pain, the grief over the loss of such an important person, but also great gratitude have shaped the author's emotional state ever since. The Lazarus project takes up this deep personal break artistically and tries to find a body-poetic way of dealing with the subject of death. In the process, the protagonist embarks on a body-archaeological journey of memory that dares to attempt a staged resurrection of a loved one.

    In winter 2016, Stefan Maria Marb presented his dance production "Welten.Tänzer" at the Schweren Reiter in Munich as a performative body anthology in which his artistic "worlds" were presented to the audience like a parcours. Inspired by the piece described above, Marb decided three years later to undertake an actual trip around the world. The journey took him to the East, to the five countries Russia, Japan, Taiwan, Australia and finally to New Zealand and gave him unforgettable impressions.
    
    The evening would like to present some impressions of the journey visually (photo, video) and share them with the audience. Afterwards, Marb will dance a Butoh performance that embodies the world dancer on his world tour.

    The network between the two artist-run organisations Tanztendenz München e.V. and Tipperary Dance/Ireland, which offers reciprocal residencies to choreographers, has existed since 2022. This year, Munich-based Alexandra Paal and Aurora Bonetti were guests in Tipperary and explored the question of when an action can become a ritual and how the experience of body, space and time is changed in the process. Robyn Byrne, in her Munich residency, is further developing her work Queen of the Meadows, which seeks to explore our modern world through historical examples of social exclusion. At "shared evening_sharing experience", the two residencies present themselves in a mix of lecture, showing and talk.

    "It Takes Four to Tango" is a dance evening that brings together four choreographers to present four short works. Inspired by the culture and origins of tango, the evening consists of four chapters of dance: 'Ceremony', 'Unbind', 'Cabaceo' and 'Freedom'. The four choreographers Simone Elliott (Regensburg), Sade Mamedova (Mannheim), Emese Nagy (Munich) and Pablo Sansalvador (Ulm) have joined forces to create a powerful and varied evening of dance. Each choreographer has the freedom to interpret the motto of the evening individually: It takes not just two to tango, but four. The different ideas implemented by four dancers testify to the creativity and potential of contemporary dance. At the same time, with the help of empathy and curiosity, social cohesion is strengthened during the creative process. The four dancers of the team "It Takes Four to Tango" were invited by the four choreographers from all over Germany and Europe.
    
    Artistic directors Simone Elliott and Pablo Sansalvador have created ChoreoLab-TanzSüd, a platform that brings together artists from two southern regions of Germany. The original ChoreoLab platform was launched in Ulm in 2019, offering young choreographers the opportunity to consolidate their craft and test their limits. In order to reach a larger pool of artists and to deepen the collaboration, ChoreoLab-TanzSüd was founded.

    Biographically, ethnographically, aesthetically – in “Creature”, the choreographers József Trefeli and Gábor Varga approached the traditional Hungarian folk dance of their childhood from different perspectives and reinvented it. Props such as sticks, whips, masks and costumes made from recycled materials helped them. They were first deconstructed, then transferred to another purpose and brought to life anew. Folklore became ‘faux-klore’. Rhythmic, energetic and funny dialogues confront traditional with contemporary dance on a verbal level, revealing continuities and breaks. An energetic, gripping, self-ironic piece that was awarded the Swiss Dance Prize 2017 for contemporary dance creation in 2017.
    
    József Trefeli and Gyula Cserepes perform at depARTures. József Trefeli is Australian with Hungarian roots. After his dance training at the University of Melbourne, he danced first in Geneva with Guilherme Botelho's company Alias, then with Cie Greffe, Drift, Utilité Publique, Philippe Saire and Da Motus! He founded his own ensemble in 2005. Gábor Varga was born in Ukraine to Hungarian parents and began his career as a folk dancer. He studied with P. A. R. T. S in Brussels and collaborated with renowned choreographers such as Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker, David Zambrano, Michèle Anne De Mey, Mette Ingvartsen, Thomas Hauert, Gilles Jobin and Guilherme Botelho. The first joint work by József Trefeli and Gábor Varga entitled “Jinx 103” was created in 2011.

    The term "Uncanny Valley" comes from robotics and describes the fascination and simultaneous rejection we can feel in the presence of androids. The more similar an artificial body is to a human one, the more monstrous its imperfections appear to us. In a physical experiment, "Farewell Body" rethinks the body as a wonderful, efficient machine, creating the uncanny - beings that are obviously human but whose movements seem admirably perfect. But what happens when physical exhaustion sets in and the performance begins to orchestrate? Despite self-control and energetic will, more and more inaccuracies creep in.
    In "Farewell Body", La PP not only create a disturbingly fantastic body utopia on the edge of reality, but also expose what are probably our most human behaviours.

    "EROS" is a solo piece in which Matteo Carvone takes on the double role of author and performer. Following his previous work "[FAUN]", this new piece again revolves around a mythological figure: the Greek god Eros. This archetypal figure, which one could easily think of as a cheesy cliché – the winged, mischievous child known to the Romans as Cupid, who shoots arrows to ignite the flames of love – goes far beyond this stereotypical and romantic image.
    
    Eros symbolizes the intersection of pain and pure pleasure, revealing himself as a powerful and often disturbing being capable of manipulating and controlling the thoughts and wills of mortal and divine beings over their hearts. Eros embodies radical vitality, the power of life itself, the intense and penetrating desire that brings forth new life. Eros is love, violent and passionate, reciprocated and unrequited, composed of pure pleasure and pure pain - a dualistic force that is desired and feared at the same time. Has Eros vanished, like any other god? But if that were indeed the case, how could we continue to create without being pierced by his fiery arrows?

    In cooperation with DOK.fest the schwere reiter presents cinema! The film "OPEN SCORE by Rauschenberg" recalls a legendary art event: the "9 Evenings: Theatre & Engineering" that took place in New York City in 1966. 10 artists, Robert Rauschenberg, John Cage, David Tudor, Yvonne Rainer, Robert Whitman, Steve Paxton, Alex Hay, Deborah Hay, Lucinda Childs, Öyvind Fahlström and thirty engineers from Bell Telephone Laboratories worked on a series of performances that combined dance, art and music with new technologies.
    
    OPEN SCORE by Rauschenberg portrays one of those evenings: "My piece begins with an authentic tennis game with rackets wired for transmission of sound. The sound of the game will control the lights. (…) Tennis is movement. Put in the context of theatre it is a formal dance improvisation. The unlikely use of the game to control the lights and to perform as an orchestra interests me." (Robert Rauschenberg)

    From January 22 to February 4, 2024, we invite for the 12th time young choreographers to use the studios of Tanztendenz München.
    
    We offer choreographers who are at the beginning of their creative career an experimental space in which they can try things out and exchange ideas without the pressure of production. The aim of the Open Studios is not to develop a finished piece, but rather to test out ideas and approaches. Depending on capacity, there are approx. 4 hours of rehearsal time per day and participant. Choreographers from Tanztendenz München e.V. can provide mentoring on request.
    
    Stephan Herwig, freelance choreographer and member of Tanztendenz München, coordinates the Open Studios and answers the applications received: Please send the completed application form as a PDF to herwig@tanztendenz.de by November 30, 2023.
    
    An expense allowance of €500 per group will be paid. Unfortunately, Tanztendenz München e.V. cannot cover any further expenses for travel, accommodation and meals. However, we are happy to assist in arranging accommodation.

    When children play, anything is possible: the floor is made of lava, objects fly through the air, and everyday objects take on a whole new meaning. The stool is a raft, a bridge, a house, a tower. It stands on its head, lies on its side, stands on its feet... From an almost infinite selection of possibilities, new worlds with their own sets of rules emerge playfully, which are repeatedly changed, expanded, discarded.
    
    But how does one game lead to the next? Who decides what happens next? Who makes the rules and how do you make the best decision? And what happens if someone doesn't want to participate?
    
    Three dancers get involved in the "game within the game". And also to tear down the world they have just built and to follow new impulses. What was just a hat becomes a life-saving island in a stormy sea, where just the ground was untouchable, now a big worm crawls across the stage. Who was small a moment ago becomes huge and flexes his muscles. Who just argued, now dances in unison. "Spiel im Spiel" is a dance exploration of the possibility space of children's play and an invitation to shape it.

    On the one hand, "episodes of glam + gutter" is a scenic epitaph, a dynamic monolith for six performers and dancers. In terms of memory and creative processes, however, it is a celebration of formative, even contradictory influences: Some sounds, scenes, styles, found images, objects and experienced atmospheres prove to be powerful revenants in feelings and actions. They develop a life of their own. Here they are embraced to driving music.

    In "Orchids", a group of three dancers explore ways to reinvent their masculinity beyond patriarchal expectations. They create space for their own doubts, embark on a search for the beauty of movement and develop a language of gentleness and compassion. A new form of intimacy emerges between them, in which their bodies become a catalyst for desire and dreams.

    In recent major conflicts within capitalist democracies, dance as a form of demonstration has taken a firm place. Be it the "Standing Man" in Gezi Park, yoga sessions during Occupy or the dancers of the Egyptian National Ballet, dance expression has always proven to be an effective means of peaceful protest. "Embodied protest" and "protest choreographies" have therefore long been part of a new self-image of contemporary dance practitioners. "Radical Cheerleading" is one of these forms of expression, used in a wide variety of contexts. It was developed by queer-feminist activists in the 1990s. Codes of "cheerleading", known from athletic competitions, are used and subverted in this production to convey its own messages. Glamour, glitter and a mix of various slogans are elements of this joyful, ironic alternative to militant forms of protest.

    An evening of contemporary dance and live music (piano and sound) in collaboration with pianist Zoran Imširovic and sound artist Conrad Hornung, who will be at the centre of the project in a fusion of classical pieces with modern beats. They will create a musical journey in which, as in a ‘lived experiment’, they will try to see whether it is possible to see music through movement and dance, to experience stories and images of the imagination, and finally, through the immediate experience of physical performance with ever-increasing beats, to get moving together.
    
    Music: Arvo Pärt „Spiegel im Spiegel“, John Cage „ in a landscape“ and Steve Reich „Six pianos“
    
    Audience with limited hearing are explicitely welcome!

    What can grow on the ruins? Dragging the audience into the post-apocalyptic atmosphere of decay and infernality, but also playfulness, vulnerability, and hope, “Getting Our Wonder Smashed” creates a space with its own laws of attraction and transformation where everything is suspended yet anything can happen. Using choreographic clues to set things in motion, yet escaping the logic of staged dancing, Alina Belyagina and her collaborators create a performative landscape with multiple possibilities. The sound within it lives its own life but also responds to the dancers' movements, voices become entangled, trapped, and released, materials and physical objects have their own choreographic agency. Movement slowly creates space for communication: but what kind of messages can it convey? Secrets and magic spells, epic celebrations, family portraits merged with state monuments, dark vitality, evil twins, and levitating moments: what else can grow from the state of nostalgia and post-apocalyptic freedom? Are our joys inevitably exhausted? Or can we find meaning and way forward in this mess?

    What if?
    If only we wouldn't be lonely.
    What if boredom created creativity.
    What if loneliness went down the drain after multiplication?
    A woman is getting rid of her loneliness.
    She multiplictes ike a Matrjoschka puppet.
    She is creating her friends,
    Children and fantasy figures and maybe one day they will waltz together.
    
    „Skirts in fur, unwinding“ is a stage piece for 4 dancers. It is dedicated to the exploration of various dream worlds with the help of personal dream experiences, art, mythology and AI. Old and new works of art are presented through dance. The dancers merge into objects and bizarre figures. Bones grow out of a very large skirt - initially a human sculpture. We work with illusions to allow figures to double and multiply. ‘Skirts in fur, unwinding’ playfully opens up the symbiosis of poetry and surrealism, grace and bizarreness. The boundaries between dream and reality become blurred.

    “New Old” is a solo on a chair that focuses entirely on rhythm, voice and movement. Alma Söderberg listens to sounds to synthesize them with each other, forms words through gestures, creates thoughts that evolve into sounds, into music, into dance which in turn bring forth new thoughts. “New Old” is personal, private in fact. In it, The Swedish perfromer and choreographer reflects on the ageing post-natal body, especially the pelvic floor, the fear of wetting one's pants, the mouth-like shape of the vulva and the question of how the word “pussy” sounds in different languages. This thinking moves in and out of internal and external spaces, shoots through the roof with vectors of high hissing sounds and lands in melodic phrases that float above the heads of the audience.

    Micha Purucker
    BABOU – slices of space + time In the fictional bar BABOU, a wide variety of characters meet; a familiar situation from many films and popular novels. A tense web of relationships quickly develops between the guests - readable in looks, gestures, and attitudes - a scenery full of the usual roles and clichés and a corresponding artificiality. "BABOU - slices of space + time" takes up the traditional narrative form of the photographic series in a new, digitalized form: in this new photo-novel presented as a slideshow, individual images connected in sequence develop into a narrative that combines three elements into a sequential whole: the performers, the framing, and the subsequent image. Unlike in dance, the attraction for a choreographer here lies not in the connection of the movement, but precisely in the omission, in the jump between images - in the open in-between, which is left to be completed. For the viewer, the attraction of the format - unlike in film and dance - lies not in the flow of movement but in the empty space that exists between the individual images, as well as the suggestive power of the sequence.

    A studio showing in two parts: First, in "ZwischenZweiZeit" dance and music meet as equal improvisational partners. Then follows "stream" and invites you to search for an endless space of movement.
    
    
    Part 1: ZwischenZweiZeit
    
    How far to go, when to turn, which was the place for the turning maneuver - to stop, to break the rhythm of the steps, to turn around, to see what was behind you and whether someone had not been following you the whole time, to realize that the world had changed without a sound, everything had changed places...
    (Anke Velmeke "Luftfische")
    
    The project "ZwischenZweiZeit" ("BetweenTwoTime") wants to make possible a space of action in which dance and music meet as equal partners to bring improvisation to performance under professional conditions.
    
    "Two" stands for two people, two divisions, two moments, two impulses, two walls.
    "Between" names the creation of a space, a moment, there is a start and an end, similar to a white sheet and a first stroke.
    "Time" gives us the playful framework for the process on stage.

    Part 2: stream
    
    How to unlearn time
    What can my body see
    What space maintains
    
    We invite you to join us in our search for an endless space of movement; let us follow the flow and dwell in the movement of space.

    A small, intimate format:
    The dynamics of contradictory inner worlds unfold in a limited space. All dynamics break in, on, around the body, the space remains quiet - elements for contextualization situate the dancer situationally, provisionally in a special moment of time, the memory of films, images, situations...
    
    by Micha Purucker
    with Michal Heriban, Robert Merdžo, Michael Kunitsch
    PR: Beate Zeller
    
    [...] It is a solo about emotional worlds, but with a lyrical impetus that skilfully avoids anything shallow or ingratiating. Coded and playful Michal Heriban takes over this template and fills it expressively without ever becoming really clear. The play around inwardness succeeds. So much so that one could actually leave it at this delicate, in a sense new romanticism. But Purucker does not only choreograph. He creates spaces. [...]

    »She was a knife cutting through everything.«
    Ann Snitow
    
    In 1970, at the age of 25, Shulamith Firestone published "The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution," which is still considered a fundamental feminist work today. Her radical theses on the connection between women's liberation and sexual revolution had been presented frequently up to that point, and with them she now became a best-selling author. In her second and last book, "Airless Spaces" (1998), Firestone describes what she herself calls a whole cabinet of "losers," lonely representatives of the state of "social failure."
    
    Inspired by Firestone's biography and these portraits written with "grim laconicity," choreographer and dancer Zufit Simon's solo traces the effects that political and private conflicts can have on female physicality. Economic and psychological-private oppression are questioned and translated into the movement language of dance.

    „Every Minute Motherland is the work of the year.”
    (Melanie Suchy on Tanzweb.org, Dec. 3, 2022)
    
    A touching dance piece and a political statement: the Polish choreographer Maciej Kuzminski dedicates his work Every Minute Motherland to the refugee movement that resulted from Russia's war aggression against Ukraine. Collaborating with Polish and refugee Ukrainian dancers, Kuzminski employs dance as a common language to express the unspeakable and demonstrate resistance and solidarity. The choreography unlocks the images and experiences of war inscribed on the dancers' bodies on stage.
    
    The performance invites the audience to partake in an existential experience where they can sense the weight and severity of the conflict, including moments of loss, mourning, despair, and helplessness. However, the piece also offers a glimpse of hope, attentiveness, and even beauty. Sometimes it only requires a small gesture, a glance, or the movement of a hand in which the whole magnitude of the tragedy can be found. The deeply touching moments throughout the piece make it a special witness of our times. Despite the disturbing background of the production, the fundamental tone is not furious, but it rather has a remarkable resilience and inner strength.
    
    The Russian war of aggression in Ukraine is one of the most significant events in Maciej Kuzminski's life. In Every Minute Motherland, he interprets the war as a massive force that repeatedly sets the world in motion both physically and existentially. It challenges our values, identities, and concepts of security and homeland.
    
    Maciej Kuźmiński
    As a choreographer, Kuzminski is recognized for his works developed with his original movement and composition method, known as "Dynamic Phrasing," which cultivates versatility and a 'soft power' in a dancer. Besides working with his own company, he has also created commissioned pieces for Scapino Ballet Rotterdam, Theater Regensburg, Šeiko Dance Company in Lithuania, and Polish Dance Theater.

    The ecological crisis is the largest challenge of our time. In particular the younger generation, however, displays over and over again courage, poise, and the will to change in order to hold back the destruction of the environment by humans and their economic systems. One also senses this type of urgency in the arts – and seldom does one see it as impressively poetically transcribed as in Věra Ondrašíková's Witness. It has to do with trees, but naturally it has to do with much, much more. Two performers and two large, naked networks of branches form the starting point for the relationship between humans and trees, humans and nature, one person and another person. We hear creaking, breaking, cracking and crackling noises. Affection, but also rage can be sensed; the tree as a weapon, its lashing sound. An aesthetic firework unfolds, which literally engulfs the audience in its forest of clouds. Powerful images of trees in a sea of lights from lasers, but also the quiet magic of a rustling, luminescent forest at night, or the hand that reaches for the branch as if it were searching for a last way out. At the end, we witness a small miracle: A new life develops from the person who gives something from himself or herself.
    
    Věra Ondrašíková
    Originally from the Czech Republic, Věra Ondrašíková has received a series of awards for her achievements as a dancer as well as for her choreographic works. Her pieces have been performed at, among other venues, the Tanec Praha Festival, the Biennale de la Danse in Lyon, Aerodance in Amsterdam, and as part of the Aerowaves dance festival. Witness received the Public's Choice Award at the Czech Dance Platform 2022.

    In Wonderland: Moritz Ostruschnjak's Rabbit Hole leads us down into the dark depths of the fantastic and the digital, through tunnels, ramifications, aberrations, final fantasies, no end in sight. Seduced by algorithms, we stumble, like Lewis Carrol's Alice, into ever more bizarre worlds, following the maelstrom of links, references, clicks and pics into a marvelous and crazy alternate reality. We lose ourselves in the shallows of the Internet, the wonderland where the impossible becomes possible. The white rabbit of the 21st century consists of those bits and bytes that propose endless chains of content - everything belongs together, nothing fits together, there is no beginning and no end. It's beautiful here. And terrible.
    
    Based on his genuine interest in the complex interactions between humans and digitality, Ostruschnjak's works question who we are in this second, putting his finger in the wounds and the wonders. Have we arrived at a time when all rules can be turned upside down and simply overwritten, beguiled by bittersweet media strategies and ideological echo chambers? Yet it is precisely the very fleshy movements that seem strangely different and at the same time so familiar to us, mutating from grotesquely deconstructed scenes into dance-like whirlpools and sweeping away everything that was. A language that unfolds its own beauty from second one.
    
    Moritz Ostruschnjak
    Originally from the sprayer and breakdance scene, Moritz Ostruschnjak received his dance training in Munich and in Lausanne under Maurice Béjart. He has been living and working as a choreographer in Munich since 2013, and he traveled with works such as AUTOPLAY, TANZANWEISUNGEN, YESTER:NOW, and TERMINAL BEACH to numerous international festivals and hewas awarded the sponsorship prize the City of Munich in 2020. In 2022 he opened the German Dance Platform festival in Berlin with TANZANWEISUNGEN.

    There are things we cannot see with the naked eye, but we know they are there. For example, energetic processes that one can sense at best. What would it look like if one could suddenly make one of these invisible levels surrounding us visible? With Tracing the Negative Space, the artist and choreographer Angelika Meindl, the visual artist Tobias Gremmler and Thomas Mahnecke (who is responsible for the technical design) created an artistic translation of this idea and developed for this a hybrid format consisting of RealTime Motion Capture and live dance performance. While the dancer follows the choreography, her movements will be translated into a visual composition that will appear on the surrounding walls in the space. The dancer's movement dynamics are extended into real / virtual space – a body that spreads beyond physical boundaries as a form of readable time into space. The movements appear frozen in a timeline. Visualizations appear that are reminiscent of a landscape or architecture and are engraved in the movement dynamics of the dance like a musical score.
    
    In the accompanying installation the memory of the movements in the live performance will be made visible. Surrounded by a 270-degree, 3D projection of the traces of movements, the audience can view dance as manifested energy.

    Meindl + Gremmler + Mahnecke
    The Munich choreographer Angelika Meindl and the media scenographer Tobias Gremmler share a common interest in making the invisible visible, thus allowing personal worlds to come into existence. The results of Meindl’s previous collaborations with Thomas Mahnecke were for the most part interactive spatial installations for dance performances.

    „Perhaps a paradisiacal primal state of physical connection and touch, as people wish deep inside themselves.“
    Stephanie Metzger/BR Kulturwelt
    
    Stephan Herwig's lovers are in fluid exchange. They are interwoven with each other, completely immersed in the physical. Arms, legs, and torsos entwine and breathe like a single organism.
    Their bodies expand the boundaries of the self without losing their individuality. Social roles leave them untouched. Nothing disturbs them from the outside; as if in a cocoon, they create a utopia of lived harmony.
    
    On June 16, at 18:30, accompanying THE LOVERS, the reading Şeyda Kurt "Radical Tenderness - Why Love is Political" will take place.

    Longing is a recurring dream of a paradisiacal state, a utopia. It springs from the realization that something is sorely missing from our everyday lives. For almost three years, our society has been in a permanent crisis mode that touches each and every one of us and virtually conjures up fantasies of longing. The bittersweet feeling of longing feeds on the imperfection of the present, on the unattainable, and is the desire for another life, perhaps for another place not yet imagined - a utopia. In this respect, it touches our identity and can prove to be a considerable force for change.

    HIER = JETZT presents excerpts and works in progress by 10 choreographers on two different "open space" evenings. A perfect opportunity to get to know the diversity of the contemporary dance scene and to exchange ideas with the artists in the audience discussions. After OPEN SPACE 2, the Audience Award will be presented, which is linked to a work scholarship sponsored by the Norbert Janssen Foundation.
    
    On the opening evening, we will honor Birgitta Trommler, director of HIER=JETZT, with a special evening that focuses on her artistic work. Afterwards, the choreography "Euphoria" by Hoyoung Im, which was developed during HIER=JETZT 2021, will be shown.
    
    The platform for contemporary dance "HERE = NOW" was launched in 2016 by Tanztendenz members Johanna Richter and Birgitta Trommler as an artist-to-artist initiative to create an open meeting and working space. In 2024, the platform will take place from 30 March to 14 April and offers participating artists free rehearsal space at schwere reiter, Tanztendenz and Iwanson International. The focus of HERE = NOW is the promotion of piece developments; it is a platform, a laboratory for professional choreographers to work on new productions. In the two concluding public and free "Open Space" evenings, the developed piece approaches will be presented in parts or as work in progress.
    
    HIER=JETZT 2024 will continue to be led by the initiators Johanna Richter and Birgitta Trommler, but will be presented for the first time in 2024 as a format of Tanztendenz München e.V.

    This tap-danced, hip-hopped, street-danced “YESTER:NOW” also touches on the topics of propaganda and violence and sustains general statements – held up on cardboard signs marked with contradicting, polyphonic slogans – in protest against nothing specific but everything in general. Ostruschnjak stages a collection of excessive offenders by conviction, equipped with elements of a ubiquitous pop culture in the prefabricated templates of traditional as well as contemporary ideologies – YESTER:NOW.
    (Eva-Elisabeth Fischer, Süddeutsche Zeitung, March 29th 2021)
    
    In YESTER:NOW, Nazis and hippies, peace signs and Bluetooth symbols, demonstrations and state authority, religion, pop culture and politics, punk and musicals meet on the same terms in the same space to experience their “15 minutes of fame”. Signs with slogans from protest culture, pop, nonsense, politics and high-tech tag the present; the revolt becomes a lifestyle, the content turns into a catchphrase. Six dancers create a swarm, a cluster of sampled movements, from which individual bodies continuously manage to escape. The attempt to cope with the vast complexity of world affairs produces a mixture of simplifications and showbiz attitudes: subtlety is a thing of the past – it's showtime, baby!

    O explores the relationship between two bodies walking along an imaginary drawn circle. Over time, this walk becomes a dance in which the two performers* gradually relate to each other more and more, attracting, repelling or pursuing each other. It seems as if they are physical forces acting on their bodies through space, evoking certain sequences of movements and nourishing and charging themselves with each circle they complete. In the process, the performers' use of voice and breathing ultimately leads to another circuit, between the inner and outer worlds. Thus, their vocal cords become sonic seismographs of their bodily actions, which gradually, to the point of complete exhaustion, break down the static formal structure. Another main element of our work is the examination of the role of sound and music as dramaturgical and form-building elements. Therefore we investigate, among other things, the effect of spatial extensions through live recordings and their influence on the movements of the dancers and the perception of the spectators. Our goal is to make the energetic and symbolic potential of O tangible and to open up an abstract space in which predictable events and unexpected transformations inspire existential reflection and contemplation.

    The filmed and the real merge in CARNAL SCREEN. The choreographer and videographer Stephanie Felber sets herself and her team the task of interweaving film and theater on an equal footing in this production:both media coexistent on stage as live performance and images interact. Through perceptible changes of muscle tone and rhythms of breath, the bodies of the performers negotiate their situation between holding and letting go, uncertainty and relaxation, as a state of tension prevails. The audience is invited to share in the suspense of this tension.

    The party pop-up performance 'Intellectual Striptease' was conceived specifically for clubs and brings together art and nightlife, established dance aesthetics and subculture. The dance floor becomes a place of queer-feminist empowerment, of freedom and euphoria. Together we embark on a search for the lost eroticism and mystery of otherness. On July 12, there will be a workshop, a jam and a showing at Tanztendenz. Workshop and showing belong together, but it is also possible to visit both separately.
    
    The showing is embedded in a movement workshop, also free of charge, by the two resident guests - dancer and choreographer Miriam Markl and musician* Ophelia Sullivan. The workshop for all interested - no previous experience required - is based on improvisation, with movement tasks and an instant composition (July 12 at 6:00 pm). Following the workshop - from 7 pm to 7:20 pm - there will be an opportunity for free dancing for all participants in the jam. which will lead into the showing.
    More about the workshop: Workshop “side.kicks – encounters”
    
    The residency takes place within the framework of the residency network "see and be seen", to which the Tanzzentrale der Region Nürnberg e.V., the Tanztendenz München e.V. and the Schwindelfrei Festival Mannheim have joined forces to promote contemporary dance from Southern Germany.

    In search for her origins, Judith Hummel follows the path of her grandmother, who fled from the Romanian Banat to Germany in 1944. "Where do I come from?" is the title of this journey. In walking the path, in going back, Judith Hummel researches her own origins and lays a cinematic-performative track around the fields of memory and body.

    Markéta Stránska and Charlie Morrissey met in a workshop in 2019. After an instant and intense connection moving with each other, they were compelled to continue digging into the detailed physical conversation. The resulting piece is „SCÁLING“. The performance is a little akin to rock climbing: a constant process of negotiation and calculation - engaging with and navigating the landscape and structure of each other through a complex and committed focus towards every shift of attention and movement. „SCÁLING“ is a functional exploration of structures in motion and veers between delicate precision and visceral physicality.

    2 performers – one couple
    
    “Relationshifts” explores the different phases and dynamics of a relationship in a limited space through dance. From the romantic-enthusiastic beginning to the shared space and the feeling of deep grounding and connectedness, to phases of longing for autonomy, the desire to break out of familiar paths, to leave obligations behind. The starting point are very personal stories of the artistic team, which the performance translates into global images, using choreography and music as a language in which the audience can discover everyday moments.
    
    In the same space, with the same choreographic structure but changing roles and parameters, the protagonists start the whole relationship all over again and again and again. But are they really the same? Do they follow the same paths? Do they carry their personal history to the next time? Or do they change, age, loose control, get tired, give up and yet start again?
    
    “Relationshifts” takes place as an exact one-hour piece and loops several times each evening in a chained structure. The loops can be booked individually or together.

    Sneak preview of the dance theater piece for ages 13 and up: The fashion industry, in the excessive change of collections, leaves behind catastrophes for employees and the environment. On the other hand, there is the joy of re-styling and the fast change of styles, especially for young adults.
    The dance theater "Fast Fashion" plays in this area of tension and focuses on the thoughts and feelings of teenagers and young adults on the subject. Sabine Karb questions the ecological and social effects of the fast fashion industry both critically and humorously with 4 young people and 2 dance students.

    "There's no business like show business..." and what becomes evident when looking behind the glittering facade? Outdated working conditions and partly questionable, clichéd content. Based on interviews with musical performers, their experiences of everyday work life are palpable, which consists of a lot of external control. It allows a glimpse into a new generation that hopes for a renewal within their field: 'Let's open up new spaces. There is so much creative potential, but it's not being demanded.'
    The performance 'The Show Must Not Go On' is conceived as a refusal to conform to the usual show format, deconstructing common (role) images and aesthetic effects of musicals. Through song, dance, and text, the personal experiences are interpreted in a sober-minimalistic or even satirical manner, contrasting with the typical musical aesthetics. By combining contemporary dance and performance with musical elements, it creates a crossover that consistently undermines the familiar.

    In the equally poetic and laboratory-like arrangement Schwächezonen, Miriam Jakob explores the parallels between an ageing mountain and her own body. In the stage landscape, different levels of representation overlap between stone dummies, digital point clouds and human and rocky zones of weakness. Away from the alpine idyll, Miriam Jakob exposes herself and her audience to the seismographically depictable vibrations from inside the mountain. The unheard-of vibrations and the fragility of the mountain set everything in motion and cause even the mind to sway. With all its means, the theater apparatus invites us to explore our own instabilities along the mountain. In her research for Schwächezonen, Miriam Jakob worked with the dancer Arantxa Martínez and the sound artist Felix Claßen, among others, initially on location in the Allgäu Alps and in dialog with scientists from the GFZ Potsdam and the LMU Munich. The intensive artistic-scientific exchange about the shattering Hochvogel mountain became an important driving force for the performance in this multi-layered reflection on shock and the power of transformation.

    On the edge - of what? Perspectives on dance in the periphery
    
    What is at the center and where does the periphery begin? Through discussions and work tables, an attempt will be made to locate the independent scene in relation to the periphery and to classify the gaps between metropolis and province, between Central Europe and its fringes.

    One dancer, a projection screen, a live camera, a set of silicone abs, and a question: How does a body 'do' masculinity?
    
    'Making of a Man' starts out like a TED talk, navigating through pop culture, politics, and personal interviews, before becoming a more slippery exploration of the leaky containers we build for masculine identity. Who gets to 'do' masculinity and how, and what potential lies in unsettling masculinity's rigid codes?
    
    Performance held in English, with german subtitels.
    
    Artist Talk after the performance on November 9th.

    Everything vibrates: The stage in Anna Konjetzky’s chipping is constantly in motion: cubes are moving - sometimes very slowly and hardly noticeable, sometimes f aster and se emingly running everything down, changing images and shapes flood the space, breaking it, making it wide or flat. In the middle of it: the body of a dancer that needs to assert itself against, and with, the space; that needs to adjust to consta ntly new circumstances and that needs to find new ways around.

    ...we are here...
    
    How do rebellious bodies form and what strategies are needed to question power relations? What is specific to female protest and how can women stand up for their rights in a peaceful way? Which impact have acoustic signals and the use of the voice?
    After the successful production “Radical Cheerleading”, Zufit Simon continues her research into choreographed forms of protest. The main focus is on the conditions in public space and protected theatre space. Her choreography explores the ambivalence of bodies that act powerfully but are open and vulnerable: oscillating between power and vulnerability.

    In the infinite treasury of Western painting and church decoration, certain pictorial inventions and themes are like visual revenants that continue to shape contemporary pictorial creation and viewing habits.
    “grace under pressure” is an exemplary stress test in the form of a scenic palimpsest focussing on the baroque – dynamic and static, exuberant and sober.
    
    ... the Baroque period seems very topical to me at the moment – in its “precarious vitality” ... a special form of exceptional state, boundless, stormy and somehow comforting ... in its – yet – confidence. Micha Purucker

    An evening of contemporary dance and live music (piano and sound) in collaboration with pianist Zoran Imširovic and sound artist Conrad Hornung, who will be at the center of the project in a fusion of classical pieces with modern beats. They will create a musical journey in which, as in a "lived experiment", an attempt will be made to see whether it is possible to see music through movement and dance, to experience stories and images of the imagination, and finally, through the immediate experience of physical performance with ever-increasing beats, to get moving together.
    
    Music: Arvo Pärt „Spiegel im Spiegel“, John Cage „in a landscape“ and Steve Reich „Six pianos“
    
    The music/dance theater is also an explicit invitation to audiences with impaired hearing.

    Politics, fanhood, upheaval, fanaticism, protest - choreographer Moritz Ostruschnjak focuses on this interplay in his newest dance performance. From Swifties to Football Ultras, elements and dynamics of the fan curves are taken up and re-contextualized. The fan scarf becomes a stage set, a performance element and mass choreographies become complex, high-energy movement sequences for eight dancers. In the videos by artist Moritz Stumm, beauty, violence, power, mass and poetry come together and create surprising references. Connections are made between the aesthetics of fanatical fandom and political upheaval and protest movements.

    On the occasion of the 10th anniversary, there will be a discussion with the initiators of the platform HIER=JETZT and members of Tanztendenz Birgitta Trommler and Johanna Richter. Artists who have progressed professionally thanks to the HERE=NOW "starter pack" and have received residencies, debut grants, scholarships or invitations to festivals also have their say: Rosalie Wanka, Chris-Pascal Englund-Braun, Anima Henn, Jihun Choi und Jin Lee.
    The discussion will be moderated by Thomas Betz (Redakteur Münchner Feuilleton).
    
    Birgitta Trommler and Johanna Richter look back on ten years of HIER=JETZT, look at the development and success of the platform, as well as its effective impulses for the Munich dance scene. This artist-for-artist initiative presents the versatility of contemporary dance in Munich in a more compact way than any other comparable format, thus generating new audiences and interest in dance from the independent scene. The platform is unique in Germany: it provides dance professionals with a professional "starter package" that sustainably promotes further steps in their own choreographic careers.
    br> The Norbert Janssen Foundation, which has been supporting the Audience Award of a private donor from New York with a working scholarship since 2022, and the new HERE=NOW residency at Tanzprojekt München e.V. will also be presented.
    
    And there is an outlook for the future: the platform is to be firmly anchored and the now international appeal of this Munich artists' initiative is to be sustainably consolidated.
    
    This "kick-off" for the HERE=NOW platform also marks the launch of the "Open Studios", another format of Tanztendenz that serves to promote young talent.

    Alexandre Iseli, together with dancers Robyn Byrne, Eleni Roberts, Anja Nicholson and musician Thomas Belhom, explores the nature of human relationships, particularly the dynamics that arise when personal integrity is confronted with social life. This work invites each participant to consider themselves, the other and the relationship between them.
    
    “We bring together strong and contrasting personalities. We look for moments of grace that arise from unpredictable cohabitation - moments of harmony that occur when opposites find a fleeting moment of equilibrium that reinforces individual integrity. We are at the beginning of the process of creating a new work.”
    
    In residency at Tanztendenz: Alexandre Iseli, Robyn Byrne, Anja Nicholson, Eleni Roberts. The network between the two artist-run organizations Tanztendenz München e.V. and Tipperary Dance/Ireland, which offers reciprocal residencies to choreographers, has existed since 2022. Robyn Byrne was already a guest in residence at Tanztendenz in November 2023, Eleni Roberts will do a research within in the Open Studios 2025.

    ‘It's been a while since I haven't felt disgust, anger or hopelessness when reading the news. I am surprised that these feelings, which many people probably share, are not expressed more clearly in the public debate. As if they need to be suppressed. As if these feelings are the last taboo in our society, when all other taboos have already been torn down. In CARCASSE, I want to create a place where the body is free to experience these emotions, to recognise them, to surrender to them completely, to move to their beat.’ (Léonard Engel)
    
    How to move on when abomination seems to be winning? When democracy is crumbling. When political hypocrisy is omnipresent. When everything we once considered sacrosanct is desecrated and shattered? When every emotion, every everyday gesture is tainted by disgust?
    
    In Carcasse, five performers confront the remains of their being. They inhabit a body whose structure is irrevocably marked - a skeleton, a carcass in which disgust and powerlessness determine every movement. How to make this body dance? Vacillating between gentleness and rage, torpor and ecstasy, they create the image of a gloomy present and an uncertain future.
    
    Léonard Engel, a former soloist with the Bayerisches Staatsballett who has been working in Munich since 2018, continuously explores the connections between the body, emotions and their social dimensions in his work. In CARCASSE, he also devotes himself to exploring the body and its affects in the context of social issues and translating them into movement and choreographic language.

    A journey through two symbolic worlds: the familiar home and the unknown new. Feelings of loss, fear, joy and hope interweave to create a universal narrative about migration and identity.
    
    Three artists - Monica Sardi, Roberta Ragonese and Eleanna Pitsikaki - bring female migrant identities to the stage.
    
    With newly arranged music, including works by Monteverdi, Brahms and Carlos Gardel, singing, self-written poetry, autobiographical stories and dance, a collage is created that combines cultures, emotions and dreams.

    PHANTASMAGORIA explores the field of phantoms, hallucinatory apparitions, and auditory and visual illusions that convey a phantasmatic presence and play with perception. Deceptive occurrences open up the space for one’s own imagination. The performers’ movements generate a 360° soundscape that leads the audience into a kind of intermediate world and transforms the theatre into a mystical place, shrouded in fog and suffused with seductive sounds that create an audible choreography. Bodily figures appear and disappear. The real and the fictional merge. The audience in the centre of the action is led into a labyrinth of sensory illusions. PHANTASMAGORIA oscillates between the audible and the inaudible, the visible and the invisible, and is simultaneously factual and illusory.

    "2xGETANZT" - the arcis_collective's new experimental concert format enters the next round. Two choreographers work independently with two dancers to create a 20-minute choreography to the music of the Arcis Saxophone Quartet. The music remains the same in both cases and everyone must adhere to these rules:
    
    1. The choreographers have only 5 days to create.
    2. In both cases the music remains the same.
    3. Nobody involved knows the music piece until 5 days pre rehearsals.
    4. Musicians must be involved in stage setting.
    5. Costume and props must be improvised.
    
    Both choreographies are performed one after the other so that the audience can experience how differently the creative brains of the choreographers tick. In the discussion, the audience gains insight into the motivations behind the respective artistic decisions.

    Tanztendenz München e.V.'s guest in residence in April is the young US choreographer Chloe Crenshaw, who was already a participant in Tanztendenz's "Open Studios" at the beginning of the year. Chloe Crenshaw will continue the work process she began there with dancer Ethan Ribeiro, a member of the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz ballet ensemble, at the residency from 14 - 26 April. Together, they will present a free showing of a new duet, which investigates how postures can reveal a mercurial portrait of the self.

    Every year in January/February, Tanztendenz München e.V. offers its studios to young choreographers for free rehearsals over a period of two weeks. The "Open Studios" were initialized in 2013 and, due to their continued success, expanded into a fixed annual series. The series is organized and supervised by members of the Tanztendenz München e.V..
    
    The intention of the "Open Studios" is to promote young choreographers. Free - both from financial and production pressure - newcomers are provided with professional working space to experiment, rehearse and research. In addition, choreographers from the association are available as mentors on request to accompany the rehearsal process.
    
    In 2023, the "Open Studios" will take place from February 2 - 15 under the guidance of choreographer and Tanztendenz member Stephan Herwig. Five artists or groups were selected from the applications:
    
    Ben Meerwein, Alex Röser Vatiché, Illaira Bagarolo and Giorgio Lombardo will travel from Berlin to continue working on their project "Oh, Nero!". The project deals with the ambivalence of historical lore and its parallels to contemporary media landscapes, working movement-wise with gestures of ancient statues.
    
    Dalma Wéninger comes from Hungary. She experiments with guided contact improvisation, aiming to build a structure between two bodies while maintaining a constant connection.
    
    Elisabet Morera from Munich, together with a videographer, researches the absence of the body in movement involving a chromakey full body suit.
    
    Regensburg-based Melanie Elysse Old works with a dancer on her solo "Lolita's Labyrinth," which revolves around questions such as: How does the body remember? How can I express inner turmoil in the body?
    
    From Munich and Berlin comes Geosmin / Minjeong Yang , working on the multidisciplinary art project "Fika", which tries to connect taste, sense of smell and perception.
    
    This year's mentors for the participants are the choreographers Caroline Finn, Sabine Hass-Zimmermann, Brigitta Trommler and Micha Purucker.

    One circle, one dancer, one community. So many stories, lines, experiences and no end. “Shard” paints a choreographic picture of how individuals and society deal with trauma. In her latest production, Munich-based choreographer Ceren Oran shares the feeling of loneliness resulting from traumatic experiences and sheds light on the post-traumatic inner states of anger, grief, despair, guilt, helplessness, hyperactivity, fear and isolation. At the same time, she raises questions: Is truthful empathy actually possible? What does support mean in such states of emergency? What do we shy away from? What language do we find in dealing with each other? Can we hold on and endure this?

    Building on the CAPTURES research project, Rosalie Wanka and Paola Evelina examine the creative and documentary potential of photography for the ephemeral art form of dance. They place the dancing body in different architectural and urban contexts in order to visualise the genius loci through it. The resulting material is brought together in this lecture performance and invites a reflection on the culture of remembrance, which they approach by means of the danced locations as silent witnesses and products of past events. A particular focus is on architecture from the Nazi era in Germany, Austria and Italy.
    
    A multimedia installation will also be shown, which can be viewed one hour before and after the event.

    „...But I don’t believe life is supposed to be easy.“ Dancers in an underground space somewhere in Tehran. They move gracefully through the simple space, constantly developing new approaches to choreography, using chalk, individual props, but above all their bodies, which are crying out for an opportunity to express themselves freely. Dance in Iran has fallen into a state-imposed slumber. A few soloists manage to break out occasionally, but never an entire ensemble. Even the former dancers of the Iranian National Ballet Company find it difficult to return to their country of birth to meet their courageous successors. Sensitive and incredibly honest - a dance of emotions!
    
    Sarvnaz Alambeigi, born in Iran, graduated from the Azadegan Graphic Art School in Tehran. She has been working as an independent documentary filmmaker and visual artist since 2000. Her films have been shown at many different film festivals and museums around the world.

    In CRY WHY, two solos merge, intertwine, become a duet and drift apart again. With Miyuki Shimitsu and Guido Badalamenti, Moritz Ostruschnjak sends two dancers onto the stage together with pianist Reinier van Houdt. When they meet, inline skates become limbs, arms become legs, Alvin Curran becomes Yoko Ono and pianos become rooms. A duet of people and material that gives rise to strange, bizarre beings, worlds and stories. Real images and stories emerge, break off, take off again. Sentimental, romantic and melodramatic elements are juxtaposed with destruction, violence and rawness. CRY WHY plays with concreteness and abstraction, with originality and stereotype, overlaying Holiday on Ice with cyber punk.

    Full-body resistance in public spaces and choreographed protests have become an effective and powerful means of peaceful demonstrations within capitalist democracies.
    So-called “radical cheerleading” was developed in the 1990s by queer-feminist activists and combines non-violent, direct action with theatrical elements. Known as cheering groupies from sporting competitions, the codes of cheerleading are used and subverted in this production to convey their own messages. Glamor, glitter and a mix of various slogans are elements of this joyful, ironic alternative to militant forms of protest. The heterogeneous ensemble around choreographer Zufit Simon, who is also on stage, poses the question of what is worth taking to the streets for with vehemence, precision and humor.
    
    “She implements a clear concept and effective images with great skill and intensity. Together with her ensemble, Zufit Simon has succeeded in creating an extraordinary dance performance with humor and depth from the peaceful protest form “Radical Cheerleading”.”
    From the nomination statement for “DER FAUST”, German Theater Award 2023 - Dance Production

    In Orchids, three dancers explore non-hegemonic forms of masculinity. Along with their shells, they also drop the expectations of what 'real' men should be like: tough, strong, invulnerable. Naked, with tactile movements, they develop a language of gentleness and compassion. A new form of intimacy emerges between them, in which their bodies become a catalyst for desire and dreams. Léonard Engel's new work, which emerged from conversations and guided improvisations, shows how radical tenderness can be.

    From September 2nd to 13th, Scottish choreographer Colette Sadler will be the artist in residence at Tanztendenz München as part of side.kicks. On September 12, she will present the current state of her new dance production “The Violet Hour” in a showing. She will continue to work on this during her residency - the world premiere is planned for January 2025 at tanzhaus nrw in Düsseldorf. In “The Violet Hour”, Colette Sadler, together with Berlin-based dancer Leah Marojevic and musician Alexander Schubert, imagines a future inspired by Ovid's “Metamorphoses” in which human bodies are sensually intertwined with phenomena from the plant world.

    Purucker’s fourteenth production at the old schwere reiter: as the last event at and for this location, the choreographer has invented a performance structure for the hall in which a creaturely approach to movement encounters a rigid spatial structure. The performers find themselves lost in a game whose beginning is forgotten and whose end is unforeseeable. The result is a dynamic texture of long linear vectors and their refraction in short encounters. The music is loud, and the endeavor ends in fog.

    Moves between bed and closet, a classic variation in front of kitchen counter, release on the balcony: home videos from the lockdown in spring 2020. Soloistic. Pandemic. Uploaded to social media. They are all testimonies of the urge of dancers and choreographers to dance and remain visible. Ceren Oran uses these found objects for her performance THE URGE and brings them to the street. THE URGE wanders through Munich from July 11 to 17, occupies the public space and picks up the audience in everyday life.
    
    THE URGE refers directly to our current living environment, which has been defined by the pandemic for over a year now, and focuses on the relationship between collective trauma and individual behavior. The way each individual deals with crises in society as a whole is scrutinized and transformed into choreographic images that captivate through the contrast between powerful common unison phrases and the individual solos that emerge from them. The music by Oran's long-term collaborator Hüseyin Evirgen also plays a major role, helping to determine the dramaturgy of the choreography with rhythmic changes and dynamizations. The electronic music is complemented by the live musician Simon Couratier (saxophone), who intensifies the contrast between collective and individual through the musical level.
    
    The premiere of THE URGE took place simultaneously in Munich, Berlin and Cologne on May 8 as part of the DANCE 2021 festival; due to the pandemic situation not analog, but as a live stream digitally. All the more the choreographer and her team are now happy to bring THE URGE live and analogue into the public space of Munich, because Ceren Oran is keen to bring dance into the social everyday life of the city: "Performing in public space means taking risks and getting in contact with many different people, instead of performing only for a limited elite - it means exposing yourself to a wide spectrum of honest feedback. I believe in the fascinating, contagious and inspiring power of dance: contemporary dance should be accessible to everyone, anytime, anywhere." (Ceren Oran)

    A small, intimate format:
    The dynamics of contradictory inner worlds unfold inside a limited space –
    All dynamics shatter in, on, around the body, while the space remains still – the elements of contextualization situate it situationally, provisionally in a special moment of time, of memory of films, images, situations...

    Group behavior shapes us. Humans are herd animals, they protect and organize themselves in class groups, leisure clubs, in communities of states and unions.
    
    But what happens when the individual leaves the protective group? Or in other words: What if the individual recognizes himself and wants to live this out? Is it defencelessly exposed to the rest of the group when it removes itself from the group - when it is quite different? The choreographer Ceren Oran takes up this theme in dance and music. For this, she cooperates with a multicultural team consisting of five dancers* and a musician, who bring their own experiences of "being different" and of belonging into the production process.
    
    Unlike previous productions in which Ceren Oran tells stories about life circles ("Elephant from the Egg") and being foreign ("Tell Me...") to a very young audience, in this work Oran relies on the physical expressiveness of bodies and the immediacy of live music. The piece is aimed at children ages 6 and up and family audiences.

    In the Museum für Abgüsse there is a figure of Nike of Samothrace, more than three meters high (see photo). It appears to some viewers as an oversized angel, which powerfully striding out dominates the overall picture in the atrium of the museum.
    
    Inspired and driven by this sculpture, the performance "Angel" wants to step out of a long drawn-out, leaden Corona time to give the audience_inspirations from the world of poetic dance art.

    The performing artists are back and present themselves and their work in all its splendor and diversity on these two opening days in September. A new and a (soon to be) former venue, as well as the spaces in front and in between them will be enlivened, explored and used. And there will be a party too. “geöffnet – we are open” – is this motto under which the future venue schwere reiter will be claimed and taken into possession with dance, theater, music and playfulness. Choreographers, theater makers and musicians from the independent scene, who feel particularly connected to this location and its genres of performing arts, will present brief excerpts from their previous works as well as specially staged events for this occasion: We are back! The detailed program under the artistic direction of Christoph Reiserer and Alexander Strauch will be published online soon. Tickets are available at a uniform price of ten euros; reservations are requested via www.schwerereiter.de. (Due to the coronavirus, access to the site is possible only for a limited number of people).

    This project posits FOAM as a metaphor for the nature of modern societies. With the “unstable stability” that characterises foam, it serves as an image of today’s living human reality, which one could also call spaces multiplicity. The individual cell is a bubble, isolated and fragile; only in a multitude does it become foam – in that way it enables examination of the tension between the individual and the masses. Foam can also be defined as “air in an unexpected place”, something that, although it takes form, is nevertheless very transient. The emerging images conceive of the body in its fragility as an unstable fluid. It’s worth taking a closer look at this apparently so familiar, everyday phenomenon...

    “YESTER:NOW” places itself in the midst of the hullabaloo of the state of crisis and creates a vortex of movement, images, slogans and sound - a surreal cloud in the here and now. Six dancers form a stream of sampled movements, from which individual bodies break out again and again. Slogans from protest culture, pop, nonsense, politics and high tech encode the present. In an attempt to cope with the unmanageable complexity of world events of yesterday and today, Moritz Ostruschnjak succeeds with his latest work in mixing simplification and showbiz attitude: Being subtle was yesterday – it’s showtime, baby!
    
    The live premiere of the latest production of Moritz Ostruschnjak will take place in the main hall of the Philharmonie at Gasteig. Corona made it possible to stage a unique performance in the room, which was not used due to the pandemic (it normally seats 2400 people), in which six dancers occupy the entire audience arena while the audience is sitting on stage. You’ve never experienced the Philharmonie like this!

    For the first edition of TANZWERKSTATT EUROPA in 1991, Walter Heun commissioned four European choreographers to explore Mozart. Among them were two pieces by Rui Horta and Micha Purucker. Both choreographers were important companions of TANZWERKSTATT EUROPA for a long time and influenced dance in Munich. Their choreographies will be re-staged in cooperation with the ballet company of Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz and Gasteig. In addition, Thomas Hauert was recently commissioned to develop a new choreography with the dancers – also with “Mozart” as the starting point for the research. An extraordinary trilogy is being created.

    Moves between bed and closet, a classic variation in front of kitchen counter, release on the balcony: home videos from the lockdown in spring 2020. Soloistic. Pandemic. Uploaded to social media. They are all testimonies of the urge of dancers and choreographers to dance and remain visible. Ceren Oran uses these found objects for her performance THE URGE and brings them to the street. THE URGE wanders through Munich from July 11 to 17, occupies the public space and picks up the audience in everyday life.
    
    THE URGE refers directly to our current living environment, which has been defined by the pandemic for over a year now, and focuses on the relationship between collective trauma and individual behavior. The way each individual deals with crises in society as a whole is scrutinized and transformed into choreographic images that captivate through the contrast between powerful common unison phrases and the individual solos that emerge from them. The music by Oran's long-term collaborator Hüseyin Evirgen also plays a major role, helping to determine the dramaturgy of the choreography with rhythmic changes and dynamizations. The electronic music is complemented by the live musician Simon Couratier (saxophone), who intensifies the contrast between collective and individual through the musical level.
    
    The premiere of THE URGE took place simultaneously in Munich, Berlin and Cologne on May 8 as part of the DANCE 2021 festival; due to the pandemic situation not analog, but as a live stream digitally. All the more the choreographer and her team are now happy to bring THE URGE live and analogue into the public space of Munich, because Ceren Oran is keen to bring dance into the social everyday life of the city: "Performing in public space means taking risks and getting in contact with many different people, instead of performing only for a limited elite - it means exposing yourself to a wide spectrum of honest feedback. I believe in the fascinating, contagious and inspiring power of dance: contemporary dance should be accessible to everyone, anytime, anywhere." (Ceren Oran)

    “58 Indices on the Body” by the French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy is a list of sometimes contradictory, short remarks on the human body. His text is the source of inspiration for this choreography.
    „Why indices rather than characters, signs, distinctive markings? Because the body escapes, is never sure, lets its presence be suspected but not identified. [...] We only have references, traces, imprints, footprints.“
    „A body is a difference. Since it is a difference from every other body [...] it’s never done with differing. It also differs from itself.“

    "Parotia" is a performance for three spinning dancer, inspired by sources as diverse as the Egyptian folk dance Tanoura, the choreographic work of Loïe Fuller or Oskar Schlemmer and the Bauhaus movement. By creating a piece at the intersection of middle-eastern dance and our western choreographic heritage, Léonard Engel explores the physical and visual properties of the act of whirling, and invites the audience to an hypnotic and sculptural dance piece.
    
    "During my research for "Parotia", I was very fascinated by how the act of spinning has always appeared in different cultures and for different reasons: as a means to reach a trance-like state (in ancient Greece), to connect with a god (Sama of the dervishes), to create impressive visual effects (Tanoura) or to expose the underwear of Bavarian and Tyrolean women (Dirdnldrahn). Even in ballet there is this tradition of 32 fouettés." (Léonard Engel)
    
    Starting from the simple movement of spinning, Engel develops a choreography that slowly changes the spectators' perception of space and body. Dressed in heavy multi-layered costumes created by Josa Marx, the three dancers become kinetic sculptures in continuous transformation, reconfiguring themselves in space, while the shimmering patterns of the fabrics underline the hypnotic effect of the spinning. The bodies of the dancers merge with their costumes and lose themselves in abstract forms until they disappear completely behind the hustle and bustle of the colours and figures.
    
    "For me, this piece is about exploring the idea of kinetic sculpture. The dancers wear very heavy, multi-coloured skirts, which we treat as objects to abstract the performers' bodies. The resulting forms live only through the centrifugal force of the spinning movement and would fall apart if the performers stopped spinning - it is the disappearance of the body through movement, the transformation into an abstract form." (Léonard Engel)

    An exploration of idyll and concrete: we are surrounded by curated plants. The nature around us is shaped by us. It is subject to the decisions of its gardeners. We retreat into these landscaped green spaces and come to rest. Gardens and parks allow an illusion of naturalness. Geometric shapes, water features, and memories of times past allow us to escape reality. Between appropriation and distortion, the desire to establish ourselves in a place and leave traces is manifested. How does this approach to nature reflect our society?
    
    At three different locations in Munich, the ensemble of dancers and musicians directs a focus on the question of formed nature and natural self-evidence.

    Our daily post give us today ... Self-expression, inspiration, ritual and the search for affirmation - the social media hold their users firmly in their clutches. In "Our Daily Post", short video clips on a variety of topics are freshly fished out of the ocean of the Internet for each evening. A mixture of actors, diverse in age, background and art form, reacts and improvises to these clips. The participants take up acoustic, visual and thematic elements and develop them further - each evening with a different cast, each evening with changing musical input, each evening with different source material.

    The installation "Zero" by performance artist Stefan Maria Marb takes a special pause after his long creative break and celebrates a creative zero state, which, in the context of a public installation from October 8 to 10, provides the audience with intimate insights into a fundamental artistic creative process. Pauses, gaps and empty spaces set the rhythm of what happens or doesn't happen, in which the artist puts himself in a kind of meditation and waits for the creatively right moment, the kairos, as the ancient Greeks would say. Accentuating this state is interrupted by music recordings, minimal performances and readings from various writings, including from the as yet unpublished work of the author "Butoh- between the worlds".
    
    For the anti-performative texture of "Zero", the art space of the KloHäuschen proves to be tailor-made, being historically a visceral place where elementary basic needs were quickly "taken care of" over many years. "Zero" consciously picks up on this history, but in doing so moves on an oppositely slowing time track and sees in this chthonic metropolitan space, which is linked to the underground sewers of the metropolis, the metaphor of a birthing station in which artistically fundamental new things can emerge. It is an easily overlooked oasis, a utopian retreat, at Munich's bustling Grossmarkthalle, which "Zero" wants to explore and enliven.

    The first and most natural but also most complicated social relationship in the life of every human being are the parents. Whether classic father and mother, single parent, two mothers or two fathers or any form of patchwork - here we learn to live together, here we first experience basic feelings such as love, fear, anger, security, jealousy, compassion. "Stories in blue" draws pictures of the emotional map family from the child's perspective through music, dance and scenery. The choreographer and her team make use of their own memories, but also and above all they have conversations with the real experts - the children!
    
    For two weeks, Ceren Oran and the performers worked together with students of the elementary school at Schererplatz in workshops on the topic of family. In addition to experiencing music and movement, the children were also interviewed about their families and got to see rehearsal excerpts that were discussed. "As adults, we only have memories of our childhood relationship with our parents. It was important to me for the production to capture an unadulterated child's view of family. So for me, the children are really artistic partners in the creation process." (Ceren Oran).

    Insights into experiences and moments from the lives of all people are worth telling, regardless of great deeds and success. "Anthologie/Blütenlese" is a performative attempt to collect life stories from a wide variety of Munich residents and to abstract them for the stage. The starting point for this presentation are four dancers. They unite the complexity of the stories in their bodies and reproduce them as individual interpretations. The performance allows a glimpse into the individual pieces that make up the puzzle of our personalities and reveals valuable similarities and differences. This creates agreement to support each other and strive for community.

    "How close can we get to each other? What can physical togetherness look like at all in a time when we are constantly watching ourselves and have to deduce from an almost overwhelming flood of information what is relevant to us at the moment? How do we deal with our fears? And how has prescribed social isolation changed our relationship to primal, human instincts?
    
    The interdisciplinary dance theatre piece "fear.less" with three actors and three dancers, illuminates the "now" of social life in the pandemic, marked by fears and uncertainties, and at the same time looks for possibilities of a playful return to the greatest possible freedom of togetherness and closeness. Identification and empathy between spectators and performers create a powerful interaction and make the topic, which is topical for both sides, directly perceptible in the physical, universal language of the body. Accordingly, what moves us in the current exceptional situation, what makes us speechless and powerless, can be translated into this language. The stage becomes a platform, a direct space of experience to create spaces of possibility out of spaces of fear and to play on them in a critical, humorous and situational way.

    With the Morton Feldman Project, Sabine Glenz continues her engagement with formative composers of the modern era. In cooperation with the percussionists of the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, she undertook choreographic research into the music of Steve Reich in “Phasen.Machen” (Munich, 2017), followed by “Rhizom” (Munich, 2018), which was dedicated to John Cage’s “Three Constructions.”
    
    In her latest project, Glenz develops an open choreographic structure for a long-term performance set to Morton Feldman’s String Quartet No. 2.
    
    Morton Feldman (1926-1987) composed a remarkable series for various instrumentations, including works that span five or six hours. He worked intuitively and developed a personal style characterized by extreme gentleness and slowness. The composition of String Quartet No. 2 stretches through five hours, thus providing the musical framework and temporal measure for the choreographic project, which is interpreted live by Ensemble Resonanz at the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg. Throughout this lengthy interval, eight dancers come together in ever-new constellations or break away from them. Independent action within a clearly defined improvisational structure is enabled by movement sequences with open beginnings and endings and with different entrances and exits. Form fluently, imperceptibly and gradually builds up and collapses again. The performance takes place during the opening hours of the museum (admission with museum ticket) and is filmed from its center with a 360° camera. The visitors are free to move around in the rooms, so they too will become part of the recorded images.
    
    This video recording will subsequently serve as an integral part of the sound-space-image-dance installation that will be created in January 2022 in the large hall of the WIESE. Two screens positioned at a 70° angle to each other will form the basic structure, while the video recording of the performance at the MK&G will be juxtaposed with the film “Farbfelder” by Franz Kastner (camera) and Alejandro Valbuena (painting) on the projection screens. The film, which was produced in February 2021, is inspired by Mark Rothko’s color field painting; painted motifs gradually and imperceptibly change their structure, color and form. Momentary performances by the dancers, e.g. as solos or duets, occur casually and fleetingly in space and disappear imperceptibly as choreographic allusions to the recorded performance or as autonomous additions to it. The two-dimensional digital image extends into real space; images of physicality are juxtaposed with physical presence.
    
    The transfer of the live performance into a multimedia installation, together with the juxtaposition of digitality and reality, leads to an intimate intertwining of various aspects of sound, body, space and time, while augmenting them with a subtle other level on which the present and the past map onto each other just as much as digital and analogue appearances. The bringing together of the two films in the walk-through installation is an invitation to experience time as an almost infinitely extended moment and as a shared spatial and physical movement.

    We live in a time of rust (russ: Rzhavchina). Decaying images resembling pop divas appear in a whimsical landscape with a tinge of an after party on the ruins of capitalism. We are confronted with fantastic beasts who dance, burp, jerk, wheeze and sing. Their appearance embody a dualistic truth of a human: militantly horrendous and erotically attractive at the same time. In times of ecological crisis they are constructing a plastic heaven. Feast of weirdos in Time of Plague.

    The artists-for-artists initiative sets a sign of solidarity with the dance makers of the independent scene also in times of Corona, and invites 14 choreographers to work on their choreographic ideas for two weeks. HIER=JETZT is a laboratory situation in which the choreographers try out their piece approaches in parts or as a work in progress, and present them for discussion under professional conditions (light, sound, stage) in an open space format in mutual exchange. The sharpened aspect of play development is intended to help artists to realize full-length productions. As this platform, like the one in 2020, will unfortunately be a "Corona version", the results of the work approaches will only be available to the public in digital form from April 20.

    The “schwere reiter” theater is transformed into a waiting hall in which the audience is invited to take their own expectations into account. What is real? What is (a) projection?
    In times of the omnipresent shift of the live event to the digital, with “APON PARON” Stephanie Felber and the team deal with the interaction of the two- and three-dimensional in performance. In an Image the absent is present, but it is “only” an image, whereby for the interconnection of information in our brain it is probably irrelevant. Holographs or simulations of the performers show deceptively real bodies in motion. Ascent and descent, appearing and disappearing, the movement before and after what is actually expected all form their own choreography. Sensory impressions set impulses to allow the presence and movement of the performers to be experienced. In this experimental arrangement, an oscillation arises between too much and too little visibility, authenticity and simulation, between presence and absence.

    “Sunrise” is an invitation to rebirth, a song for two bodies, one manipulating the other. It is the awareness of the infinite orbiting around us, it is an obsessive repetition of the nature awakening under the long-awaited sunshine.
    Round and directional, “Sunrise” is an unstoppable stream of rational and oneiric thoughts.
    
    Am I still asleep?
    
    Life merges with roses in a golden river of pleasure… Eos, Goddess of magnificent beauty, help me to arise from the edge of the ocean.
    We all need to wake up from this deep sleep. It’s time for a new dawn, it's time to live again, to love again, to dance again.
    ... I decided to accept what death means, because accepting death means only that I am accepting life.
    
    Dedicated with immense gratitude to Ismael Ivo, who recently passed away from Covid-19.

    My skin, my thoughts, everything it’s ageing ... but you are still there holding my hand before I fall
    My dreams, or maybe my hopes
    Someone said it’s just life stolen from a deep sleep
    I will hug you then, I will protect you then
    Why now everything looks so hazy ? … I find it so crazy „

    I've never felt committed to being XX just because I am XX.
    
    Socio? Cultural? Gender? Identity?
    Borders and concepts dissolve the more we keep on changing our perspective.
    What is there, behind our socially requested avatar that bears our name? Who is actually willing to have a look? To all that pathetic, funny, absurd, random and useless human states?
    
    Rosalie Wanka plays with elements of socio-cultural provenience and gender identity, with irony and humor creating a dance that doesn't care to define itself.

    Now the time, we are struggling to find a moment of happiness in restricted environment as our hearts become empty. To find Euphoria, my own ritual purifies myself and space. Through the ritual, my body and mind become empty and reach the state of Anattā. There, the dance can be pure expression of happiness, powerful enough to share this irony of life, the full emptiness. The ritual ends in the order of farewell, leaving the climax. The moment disappears, and life goes on.

    I call it espoir is the latest research of Tomer Zirkilevich Company towards an interdisciplinary physical-theater solo. The work is brought together through a process where all of the artistic elements co-evolve and have equal importance in the making of the piece. Such a method results in this peculiar thing that happens in the space between what is being shared on the stage and the audience, this particular human exchange.
    
    Its narrative evolves through the struggles of pursuing one's dreams, dealing with issues of transformation, violence, fear, failure, and evolution. No matter what life gives you, being yourself, following your path, you can fulfill yourself, your dreams, and you can overcome it. Nothing is ever done, everything is always becoming. This ending is a beginning, this beginning an ending — all making room for the next step in an unending process of becoming and being whole.

    Many times I have had to move away, driven by a sense of reflection and blockage, from my dearest ones and the love and harmony with which they surrounded me. I felt a sense of emptiness, of non-identity; in that moment I lost the ability to make any choice, to recognize myself and express my person, even though the opposite desire was burning within me. The strength of two opposing emotions, love and rejection, made me feel a strong sense of suspension. By the creation of different images and rhythms, I am pushing this idea to the point where kindness becomes overwhelming and restriction for the dancers. Each of them will be the „spokesperson“ of this personal experience of mine, absorbing every sensation that ties me to these episodes.

    Zwink is an improvised Dance performance, designed for public spaces. Working spontaneously and directly with the inspiration of the moment and Robert Kis’s beautifully realised Object Costume. The renowned performer Katrin Schafitel draws in passers by and offers the chance to engage with public spaces in a whole new way. Each performance is an experimental journey of exploration and surprising encounters created afresh. The performer draws on all her environment, utilising the open space, ground, steps, benches and the park itself.
    Zwink invites all those present to become aware of the shared space and their place in it. It shows how the beauty and poetry of being alive can be experienced in the charm of a fleeting moment, in a smile, in the blink of an eye.

    Caught in the patterns of a restless mind, the harmonious relationship I had with my being started to shift towards a discrepant feeling. Thoughts and images which normally would have led me into a positive or negative state of mind, depending on the pattern, started to feel unpleasant and overwhelming in both positive and negative ways.
    
    I wasn't feeling a whole anymore, but many at the same time and, at the round table with those housemates who remained silent for so long, a conversation started to happen.
    
    Tha research takes over from this inner conversation between many voices of a singular person, amplified and echoed by the body, which is one but reflects many, with the aim of creating an environment where harmony is strongly present and of easy access , but always accompanied by a slight sense of discomfort and restlessness of the mind.

HIER=JETZT is a laboratory situation in which the choreographers try out their piece approaches in parts or as a work in progress, and present them for discussion under professional conditions (light, sound, stage) in an open space format in mutual exchange. The sharpened aspect of play development is intended to help artists to realize full-length productions. As this platform, like the one in 2020, will unfortunately be a "Corona version", the results of the work approaches will only be available to the public in digital form from April 20.

    The concept idea deals with the discrepancy between the verbalized and the body language. Through the spoken word, misunderstandings, manipulations and scaffolding of lies arise in abundance. The language wants to be superior to the kinetic signals and often tries to suppress the true feelings. How can we counteract this? Can body expression provide truth? Can kinesthetic empathy assist in communicating non-verbally and even without touching bring understanding to one's fellow human being? Would - in an idealistic sense - the world be a bit more understanding, friendly, peaceful and non-violent by consciously allowing non-verbal communication?

    Where can radical feminism lead? Drawing on the theories of the Jewish radical feminist Shulamith Firestone (1945-2012), “Passable, not Presentable” aims to explore, through the encounter with dance, the effects that political and private conflicts can have on female corporeality. Economic and psychological-private oppression are questioned and translated into the movement language of dance.

    Sabine Hess: Racial B/order: The EU-European External Border as a Violent Relationship
    
    Against the background of many years of research on external borders, this lecture discusses recent developments of an increasingly systematic use of extra-legal violence in border spaces and shows how brutalization goes hand in hand with notions of Europe as a “white superior project.”
    
    Sabine Hess is a professor of Cultural Anthropology / European Ethnology and has directed the Center for Global Migration Studies at the University of Göttingen since 2018.

    Sven Rücker: Borderless modernity? Self-birth and self-transcendence.
    
    Just as modernity sees itself in its self-descriptions as an age of dissolution of boundaries and transgression, so too do its subjects. The individual is expected to face ever-new challenges, to be flexible and to understand the whole of life as an ongoing movement of self-transcendence. I would like to retell the genesis of this new and supposedly boundless subjectivity, which begins in the history of ideas with German Idealism and in political history with the French Revolution, yet simultaneously refers back to much older mythemes, above all Hesiod’s “Theogony.” The perspectival vanishing point of this narrative is a different understanding of modernity that contradicts modernity’s central self-descriptions: rather than leading toward a dissolution of all boundaries, it moves toward the emergence of new type of a boundary that allows for a much more massive enclosedness.
    
    Sven Rücker is a lecturer at the Free University of Berlin. His most recent publication was a book about masses (with Gunter Gebauer). Among other projects, he has contributed to “Lange Nacht” (Deutschlandradio) and “Spoken Essay" (SWR) and to the theater piece “Die Terroristen” in Luxembourg and Vienna.

    Irene Schütze: Missing references, rudimentary “markings”: dissolving boundaries in art
    
    Borderlines between art and everyday life were negotiated many times in the visual arts of the 20th century: they were repeatedly shifted, transgressed or readjusted. Nowadays, these boundaries seem obsolete in some instances: the cross-reference to the other sphere as an “alien” field is omitted or often only indicated by incomplete “markings.” A lecture on demarcations in the visual arts.
    
    Irene Schütze has been a research associate in Art-Related Theory at Mainz University of the Arts since 2015.

    "One must live in the present, devour every second with skin and hair, satiate oneself on it." - Jacques Lusseyran.
    
    How do I perceive my environment? How do I relate to this very world and to the people who surround me? How do I see the world? These are questions that Jacques Lusseyran illuminates in his book "And There Was Light" and which have played a major role in his life. With his texts he does not provide answers, but only pictorial and lyrical descriptions of his experiences. And so we too have embarked on a search, not for answers but for experiences: an experiment to find out how we can personally experience what Lusseyran describes. An experimentation on life, or love, as Lusseyran would describe it, and on our view of this world-some hundred years later, we want to experience what this young man described.

    In search of resonance in the blurring of time. - Is there someone? Is time or space swallowing us up? A person thrown back on himself, reduced to his own 4 walls. The ego surrounded by squares: the room, the table, the laptop; and a voice that seems to come from outside. Does time run in circles? In a square? Is movement an illusion?

    It‘s not about us and it’s not about how we met
    It‘s about you
    The repeated interaction you force on us
    The public space is a risky field
    Where we can’t own our identity
    As you reduce its complexity Stolen privacy
    Like a colorful bird in the cage or a dangerous lion in the zoo
    In the Glasshouse you put us in
    The weight of your eyes still exhausts us
    Whether we hide from it or face it
    Because tenderness is always a political act

    “[t(raum)]a” is a personal, autobiographical research of the concept and the action of Day- dreaming nowadays. In a time when we see part of our social life habits and routines being transformed how can the phenomenon of Daydreaming be a helpful tool to develop our own identity? How can someone experience and travel through the boundaries of reality and fantasy? What and where is the border between reality and fantasy? How can someone go further away from the control and possibilities that the mind has in order to find and deve- lop new ideas and new experiences? Living and experiencing new emotions is a human condition, and sometimes we look for those in a very unconscious way... and I personally believe that Daydreaming is just a tool that we use unconsciously to spark happiness and comfort.

    In her new solo "Über die Wut (On Anger)" Anna Konjetzky explores anger as an individual feeling and as a condition produced by social structures. A whole arsenal of personal, political and pop-culture gestures of rage is dissected and explored by dancer Sahra Huby, making her body appear grotesque, threatening, aggressive, but also comic and comedic. In "Über die Wut" a body on stage reflects and examines via movement, via image, via music, via text the potentiality of anger, and in particular of female anger. Anger as a tool for change, as a pointing out of injustice, as a motor of fundamental and radical change.

    The beach can also be a terminus. In TERMINAL BEACH, six dancers in the large hall of Munich's UTOPIA create a dystopian image of our unease in the morning, our speechlessness in the face of the times to come. And they cling to the familiar in an increasingly inscrutable world: they flex their muscles as nonchalant cowboys. They wave their flags as revolutionaries. They lose themselves in armored duels, grimace in frozen glee and glide through space on inline skates. And when Satan appears, they stay cool, move closer together and dance formation in the Salon

    The pieces „FUR“, „Rotations“ and „Turning Solo 2“ are part of an ongoing series by the Berlin choreographer Isabelle Schad, in which she turns rhythms and energies into choreographed experiences. „FUR“ is an encounter with the Japanese dancer Aya Toraiwa and her stunningly long hair. „Turning Solo 2“ brings together the portraits of the dancers Naïma Ferré and Jasmin İhraç to form a double that can be experienced simultaneously. In „Rotations“, the movements of Claudia Tomasi rotate and accumulate into a flow that creates the illusion that the dancer‘s body is moving by itself.

    Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion have collaborated for over 30 years. Their two most recent duets are the outcome of a three year process of collecting and sifting through unfinished ideas and materials stored up over decades of collaboration. „Rewriting“ is a long and increasingly complex rhythmic choreography of 108 cards, each of which carries a written thought that fuels a simultaneous spoken stream of consciousness, all of it set to music for a Casio keyboard. „Science Fiction“ is a loud and looping piece of music for synthesizers, percussion and voice.

    Salma Salem’s piece attempts to reclaim the body as a subject of political power. It explores concepts of the political body through a ritualistic approach with specific focus on the womb as a political organ. From a ritualistic perspective, this solo adapts the mechanics of gathering energy from the earth; earthing the body it charges it with energy and force, exploring the idea of a center point, the main point of force in the body. Celebrating the nature and strength of such an organ that has the capacity to endure, host, create and grow.
    
    „Tens“ explores the concept of the body as the energy generator. Polish choreographer and dancer Marta Wołowiec seeks organicity resulting from the flow of physical sensations, vibrations, following the voice of intuition. She gives herself time to develop, she also gives the audience time to tune their own bodies with the performer’s. This piece is about tension, attentiveness and calmness, as well as the strength that can always be found by standing firmly on one’s feet and breathing in and out deeply.

    Here, everything turns: the bodies on stage, the skirts of the dancers and, at some point, the space and one's own head. Starting from the simple movement of turning, Léonard Engel develops a choreography that changes the audience's perception of space and body. Equipped with heavy skirts, the dancers on stage become sculptures that constantly transform and reorganize themselves in space. In the process, their bodies merge with the costumes and lose themselves in abstract forms. In the end, they disappear completely behind the hustle and bustle of colors and figures, before exertion and fatigue make them reappear. "Parotia" is a hypnotic dance piece whose movement language is inspired by the Egyptian folk dance Tanoura, the choreographic heritage of Loïe Fuller, as well as by Oskar Schlemmer and the Bauhaus movement. Léonard Engel worked as a classical ballet dancer before deciding to become a freelance artist in 2016. Since then he has created solos, group pieces and video works. He has collaborated with artists such as Laurent Chétouane, Meg Stuart, and Paula Rosolen. His choreographic work focuses on the body and the alteration of its perception through movement, costumes and states of being, with angels working with radical settings and the means of reduction.

    The stage space shimmers in blue and white, circles stand out on the floor and walls. Then water seems to flow across the floor and fall onto it in drops. The dancer Manasvini K. Eberl moves in this quiet, yet continuously changing scenery. Amidst sounds and video projections, equipped only with beanbag and curtain, she takes the audience into the realm of water and its various aggregate states. In her movements she traces the effects of water on the body. Tasting Water creates an illusion in which the boundary between body and element is blurred from the very beginning: the body is in the water and the body is water.

    Gerard Reyes has found pleasure in many places: In a trans bar in Montréal, at voguing balls in Manhattan, in strip clubs in Portland, at fetish parties in Berlin. Each place allowed him to escape from social norms, but at the same time he encountered restrictive house rules. In "The Principle of Pleasure" he shares his first true pleasure with the audience: dancing to the seductive songs of Janet Jackson. In the process, voguing, stripping, glorifying eccentricity and embodying glamour allow him to explore the controversial power of pleasure. The boundaries between audience and performer:s are transcended this evening to find ecstasy in and between our bodies.

    International Double Feature: side.kicks starts with an evening showcasing collaborations with partners Tipperary Dance Ireland and Grand Studio Brussels.
    
    Irish dancer Lucia Kickham's trio 'SOLO-ing’ is an exercise in "powerful softness" and explores how different sensibilities can coexist, overlap, contradict or support each other.
    
    The second production presents a solo by Benoît Nieto Duran. Equally at home in hip-hop and contemporary dance, in "Protéiforme" he deconstructs the gestures of breakdance and embarks on a search for new forms of physical expression.
    
    Further Informations [ Lucia Kickham ], [ Benoît Nieto Duran ]
    
    About side.kicks:
    Tanztendenz München e.V. celebrates its 35th anniversary in 2022 with its own formats - at the end of the year with the guest performance format side.kicks. side.kicks has existed since 2013 and presents works by choreographers from the national and international networks of Tanztendenz München e.V. in the schwere reiter. side.kicks is not understood as a pure guest performance format, but is usually the final point of a longer, joint process. Invitations are extended to productions and artists who have previously been residency guests of Tanztendenz München e.V.; for example, Jonas Frey from Mannheim, the young Nuremberg choreographer Eva Borrmann, and the Irish artist Lucia Kickham held residencies with Tanztendenz München e.V. in 2022. A carte blanche for sending a production went to the partner of Tanztendenz München e.V. the Grand Studio Brussels. The events will be accompanied by two workshops (Lucia Kickham + Jonas Frey/Karen Janker) and a panel discussion.
    
    Programm:
    DO 24.11., 19:00 – Lucia Kickham: SOLO-ing + Benoît Nieto Duran: Protéiforme

    The Mmmooz format is back! Cinematic experiments, performative exaggerations, musical excesses, spatiotemporal irritations and choreographic escapades await the audience - quirky, dadaistic, but always with reference to current events. Acoustically, a disparate mixture of upcycled plastic waste sound mountains and electronic scrap soundscapes, which meet music borrowed from high culture and spontaneous improvisation moments. Dance and movement language oscillate between extremely physical actions and the minimalist gesture. Senseless actionism and hysteria correlate with trance states.
    
    The well-rehearsed duo: dancer, performer and choreographer Claudia Senoner and musician and composer Mark Lorenz Kysela unleash a revue of numbers ranging from abysmal emptiness to hysterical euphoria. This is their contribution to times in which everything can be told and believed. At this party, however, it is also allowed to think and reflect further...

    4x4 meters - one box. 2 performers - one couple. "Relationshifts" negotiates in a limited space the different phases and dynamics of a relationship in a limited space. From the romantic-enthusiastic beginning, to the shared space and the feeling of being and the feeling of deep rootedness and togetherness, to phases of longing for autonomy, the desire to break out of familiar ways, to leave obligations behind. Also in the relationship package: betrayal, anger, longing, intimacy, compassion, sex, boredom, devotion and... love. "Relationshifts" takes all of these big concepts that are part of of our everyday life together as a couple, and declines the emotional and physical aspects of a relationship in different life situations.

    For the first time Stephan Herwig lets himself be inspired by given music to a new choreography. Seven preludes from the first book by Claude Debussy, as well as "Prélude, Op. 45", by Frédéric Chopin, form the musical bracket of the evening, played live by Zoran Imširović. The compositions each convey their own mood tonally, melodically and rhythmically. The ensemble of seven dancers explores the relationship between dance and music in various constellations and searches for forms of encounter beyond pure interpretation.

    To begin, let's solve the riddle of 100.80.40. The year 2022 marks the 100th birthday of Pier Paolo Pasolini and the 80th birthday of Derek Jarman, and Rainer Werner Fassbinder died 40 years ago. After grappling with Giacometti, Bacon, Lassnig, Bowie and Genet, the choreographer Micha Purucker now explores the work and world of these three film directors and writers. One searches in vain for specific parallels to the works of art or biographies of the abovementioned artists. Instead, the evening is about a certain sensibility, a special aesthetic, the interaction with one another - as to be seen in their films and theatre pieces, close to melodrama. Author Christoph Klimke has written three new poems in which he contributes his view of the three protagonists. Different narratives, time levels and places are reflected in an arena that extends into the depths of three spaces: dynamic sequences coagulate into tableaux vivants; group actions end as solos; and the hall opens at the rear wall to reveal the backstage area.

    The experimental 360 degree dance film "Is a planet an enormous mountain?" creates a virtual event space that questions perception and reality. The camera is part of the choreography and is integrated into the sequence of movements of the performers, but is also played as a counterpart. This unusual camera work undermines the set physical framework and creates new perspectives: a space of projections, light installations, spherical soundscapes and choreographic time sculptures that defines its own laws and pulls the bodies into a maelstrom, sending them reeling. A game with illusion that takes hold of the whole body.

    In the most recent, major conflicts within capitalist democracies, dance has taken a firm place as a form of demonstration. Be it the "Standing Man" in Gezi Park, yoga sessions during Occupy or the dancers of the Egyptian National Ballet, dance expression has always proven to be an effective means of peaceful protest. "Embodied protest" and "protest choreographies" have therefore long been part of a new self-image of contemporary dance practitioners. "Radical cheerleading" is one of these forms of expression, used in a wide variety of contexts, developed by queer-feminist activists in the 1990s. Codes of "cheerleading", known from athletic competitions, are used and subverted in this production to convey its own messages. Glamour, glitter and a mix of various slogans are elements of this joyful, ironic alternative to militant forms of protest.

    In the Showing, the artists present their exciting cross-disciplinary work process on the theme of time. Together they questioned different ways of thinking about time from a dance and musicological perspective, as well as its everyday and artistic use. In practical and theoretical research work, they investigated new communication possibilities as well as common forms of expression of temporal qualities such as stress and boredom, as well as a mathematical approach to time and its artistic implementation. In togetherness and counter-togetherness, characterized by mutual hearing and seeing, leading and following, and in joint play, the protagonists enter into different qualities of time and movement. With this common language between dance and percussion, they sensitize the audience with the goal of making rhythm visible and movement audible.

    Beate Höhn from Nuremberg and Micha Purucker from Munich have been present in Bavaria, nationally and internationally with their choreographic works since the 1980s. Again and again their very different artistic paths have crossed - be it in joint projects, at symposia or in connection with other artistic formats.
    In a joint research project by the two choreographers, which culminates in an interactive exhibition format in the setting of a workroom, the project on the theme "Upheaval - Turn of the times - Déjà-vus" is now being presented to an audience in Nuremberg (Künstlerhaus) and Munich (artists' choice, Glockenbach).
    
    The outstanding feature of this collaboration lies in the common contemporaneity of the artists, while at the same time having very different artistic signatures: Höhn / Purucker work methodically, stylistically, aesthetically, dramaturgically very differently. The project is not intended to blur these differences at all, but to intensify them by showing how a common research enterprise can lead to diverging scenic designs, ideas, artistic strategies, sketches and solutions.
    
    Both approaches have always positioned themselves politically, socially and culturally in relation to the present. Because of this attention of the two choreographers to the present and the associated social environment, as well as on the basis of their personal memories and experiences, both increasingly have the impression of various revenants and déjà vu in view of the upcoming turn of time and its possible consequences.
    
    So the two ask the following questions together:
    Will one again freeze in a block formation (East-West, North-South), with all the border demarcations and the potential for confrontation, as it was known before and thought to have been overcome (NATO Doppelbeschluss)? What self-deceptions did they succumb to, what lies did they believe, and why? Are we experiencing a creeping counter-secularization that goes hand in hand with the strengthening of religious conflicts? Is the integrity of the body and the disposal of one's own body again under discussion (§218, LGBT+, transhumanism, health dictatorship). Is the 'Western' model as a blueprint for globalization a repackaged colonialism? The limits to growth - and thus the finite nature of our economic system - were first discussed fifty years ago. Where do we stand today with the effects of climate change?
    
    The result is a collection of material with film and audio contributions, photos and texts on an expanded concept of the turning point in time. Experts will also be consulted with their opinions and will have their say in lectures. So what are the dominant 'images' that move us and which of them have we had before?

    The face is an unmistakable signature of our personality, along with our motor skills. In addition, the respective facial mimic shows an important expression of our self, which is why we also speak of the face of the soul. From birth we like faces, our perception in this respect therefore develops rapidly and becomes particularly fine and pronounced in the course of our further development. Small children show their feelings openly and vividly; however, in the course of our socialization we unlearn this ability and as adults we often hide emotional expression behind the mask of an expressionless persona.
    
    In Butoh, we question the veil of persona thus learned in order to finally get in touch with our hidden face and multiple emotions. A manifest split of face and body can thus be gradually lifted and allow a creative integration, which has a liberating effect.
    
    The dance performance “Liquid Face” will feature a group of dancers from the Butohatelier (an experimental dance forum since 2014), an actor, and live music, immersing and playing in the nature of the Mohr Villa's spacious park.

    'From what do choreographers draw their inspiration? Which objects, people, thoughts, things determine their work? '
    
    The series STANDPUNKT.e, developed by the Tanztendenz, focuses on the subtexts of artistic work and seduces the audience into other perspectives on contemporary dance. Here, choreographers invite audiences into their world and - free in their choice of tools - create very personal evenings for the Munich audience on the context and methods of their work.
    
    The Tanztendenz series STANDPUNKT.e was developed in 2009 especially for the venue schwere reiter and will take place for the first time in 2022 in the new building of the schwere reiter, which was constructed last year. Up to now, 12 choreographers from Germany, Europe, Brazil and the USA have been guests at STANDPUNKT.e. ( More )
    
    In 2022, the Swiss choreographer Thomas Hauert, who lives in Brussels, will be the guest. He tours internationally with his Cie. ZOO, which he founded in 1998, and has also been a guest in Munich many times - most recently in 2021 at TANZWERKSTATT EUROPA with the evening "Re.Visited - 3 Works On Mozart" (Thomas Hauert, Rui Horta, Micha Purucker).
    
    About Thomas Hauert
    Thomas Hauert founded his company ZOO in Brussels in 1998. Cows in Space, his first piece was immediately awarded at the Rencontres de Seine-St-Denis/Bagnolet. Since then, the company has created and distributed more than 20 works. In addition to his work for ZOO, Thomas has also been invited to create works for the Zurich Ballet, Toronto Dance Theatre, Candoco Dance Company and Ballet de Lorraine among others.

    Thomas Hauert : Excerpt Interviev with Marisa Godoy dos Santos Rüegg
    ' « … because of the [company’s] 20th anniversary – I wanted that everybody as a performer could kind of have a moment or could kind of realise a dream as the performer or something that they really wanted to do as performers, and Mat said : he would like to disappear on stage. And then we, it was kind of maybe 3 weeks before the premiere, we had kind of a week in a theatre in Brussels before we were gonna go to Liege [to do the premiere] (…) the piece was far from finished but we had kind of made a ‘filage’ [run through] kind of thing. (…) There were only a few people like friends and people from the company watching. (…) the music was over, like there was like one, one last dance that we finished and then I just said “ah, it’s not finished yet ! And now we’re gonna make Mat disappear!”, and then really amazing, we just kind of everybody just did something like, we’re gonna pretend. And then when I watched the video, I did not know how we did it - Mat was gone. And we had never talked about it, like, really. (…) And that’s like that that kind of sums it up for me, that was really my birthday present for the 20th, working with people we pull it off on stage that magic trick that really kind of requires some skill and some planning normally… » (Thomas Hauert, excerpt from a transcript of an oral interview by Marisa Godoy dos Santos Rüegg, in the framework of her PhD dissertation “Generating co-presence: Dancer’s ways of knowing and discoveries in improvisation choreography”) '

    With the Morton Feldman Project, Sabine Glenz continues her engagement with formative composers of the modern era. In cooperation with the percussionists of the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, she undertook choreographic research into the music of Steve Reich in “Phasen.Machen” (Munich, 2017), followed by “Rhizom” (Munich, 2018), which was dedicated to John Cage’s “Three Constructions.”
    
    In her latest project, Glenz develops an open choreographic structure for a long-term performance set to Morton Feldman’s String Quartet No. 2.
    
    Morton Feldman (1926-1987) composed a remarkable series for various instrumentations, including works that span five or six hours. He worked intuitively and developed a personal style characterized by extreme gentleness and slowness. The composition of String Quartet No. 2 stretches through five hours, thus providing the musical framework and temporal measure for the choreographic project, which is interpreted live by Ensemble Resonanz at the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg. Throughout this lengthy interval, eight dancers come together in ever-new constellations or break away from them. Independent action within a clearly defined improvisational structure is enabled by movement sequences with open beginnings and endings and with different entrances and exits. Form fluently, imperceptibly and gradually builds up and collapses again. The performance takes place during the opening hours of the museum (admission with museum ticket) and is filmed from its center with a 360° camera. The visitors are free to move around in the rooms, so they too will become part of the recorded images.
    
    This video recording will subsequently serve as an integral part of the sound-space-image-dance installation that will be created in January 2022 in the large hall of the WIESE. Two screens positioned at a 70° angle to each other will form the basic structure, while the video recording of the performance at the MK&G will be juxtaposed with the film “Farbfelder” by Franz Kastner (camera) and Alejandro Valbuena (painting) on the projection screens. The film, which was produced in February 2021, is inspired by Mark Rothko’s color field painting; painted motifs gradually and imperceptibly change their structure, color and form. Momentary performances by the dancers, e.g. as solos or duets, occur casually and fleetingly in space and disappear imperceptibly as choreographic allusions to the recorded performance or as autonomous additions to it. The two-dimensional digital image extends into real space; images of physicality are juxtaposed with physical presence.
    
    The transfer of the live performance into a multimedia installation, together with the juxtaposition of digitality and reality, leads to an intimate intertwining of various aspects of sound, body, space and time, while augmenting them with a subtle other level on which the present and the past map onto each other just as much as digital and analogue appearances. The bringing together of the two films in the walk-through installation is an invitation to experience time as an almost infinitely extended moment and as a shared spatial and physical movement.

    We can no longer go back home. The old civic, state, and national groupings have become unworkable. The spirit of the new technology prevents things from remaining as they are...". (Marshall McLuhan)
    
    Machines do not embed our lives and behaviour in a narrative, but calculate the connections between data points and claim that with this we can tell something. But this calculated space leaves no room for imagination, for possibilities to tell our own personal story outside of the given technologies.
    
    Not only do we live in a ghost story of bits and bytes, we have also lost our "home", our orientation, and stumble around disoriented in a present for which we lack navigation aids.
    We cling to the familiar, operate with concepts of the past for tomorrow. We close our eyes as if the "Wild Hunt" were roaring over us, a vortex of dystopias.
    
    In the large hall of Munich's UTOPIA, six dancers create a dystopian image of our unease with tomorrow, our speechlessness in the face of times to come, in which the dancing body in the vastness of space is the focus.

    Society is in a state of touch deprivation. Since the pandemic has taken hold of the world, "Don't touch!" is the order of the day and the body of the other person is a potential source of danger. Corona has turned the phenomenon known as "skin hunger" or "touch starvation" into a global mass experiment: What happens when there is no touch?
    
    In her eponymous ensemble piece "skin hunger", Canadian choreographer Jasmine Ellis explores the effects of lack of touch, intertwining the live elements of dance and music with the narrative quality of radio. The project in its entirety is the live performance in Germany and a radio podcast by artist Johnny Spence in collaboration with CBC Canada's radio show "Ideas". Besides the thematic bracket - touch - both works also connect directly. Johnny Spence will create the sound of Jasmine Ellis' "skin hunger" from the interviews he collected for his podcast (with social workers/artists/scientists on the subject of "touch"), but at the same time elements and voices from the dance performance will also flow into the radio report, just as narratives from the podcast will be transformed into dance or stage text.

    A dance piece as film about having an idea of a better you and the process of trying to move towards it. The project highlights the destructive nature of the concept of an ideal self to our relationship with the world. It examines whether division with one's own self can be a basis of loneliness.

    The subtle interaction of dance, space and light defines Stephan Herwig’s choreographic work - expanded and enriched in this work by an object in the middle of the stage. This allows an extra layer to develop that changes perception, smudges contours and shifts relationships.
    The dance transforms in a rich, iridescent weave of different zones and atmospheres: between real and surreal, defined and blurred, distinct and indistinct, prim and sensual. In “In Feldern” (Within Fields/Zones), Stephan Herwig’s interest in formal composition manifests itself. Its specific beauty develops out of the individuality of the dancers.

    A perfect opportunity to get to know the diversity of the contemporary dance scene: Hier = JETZT presents short choreographies, production excerpts and work in progress by 15 freelance artists on four different evenings.
    
    The platform for contemporary dance Hier=Jetzt was founded in 2016 by Tanztendenz members Johanna Richter and Birgitta Trommler and realised in co-production with Tanztendenz München e.V. In 2022, the platform will take place from 18 April to 1 May and will offer participating artists free studios at the schwere reiter, the Tanztendenz and, through a first-time cooperation, also at the Iwanson International. The focus of HERE=NOW is on the laboratory situation and exchange; choreographers are offered a platform to try out piece approaches in parts or as work in progress under professional conditions and to put them up for discussion in the four concluding public "Open Spaces".

      Where does who feel comfortable, who meets whom, where are the "young"/"rich"/"poor" places of the city
      and where are the "others"?
      Which place excludes whom, and what does accessibility actually mean?
      How do I experience the city as a newly arrived person/refugee?
      
      Andrea Marton and Stephanie Felber develop a performative audio walk in public space with people regardless of their dance experience, physical possibilities and cultural background. Publikc space will thus be explored, dissected, audio and choreographically staged with a mixed-age and diverse group and thereby experienced anew.
      
      The audience, which is guided through the urban space during the public performances, accompanies the performers with a "silent-disco-system" and encounters new performative situations again and again. Through music, text and invitations to become "part of the intervention", a common perception of togetherness in public space is created.

      Last year, Stefan Maria Marb explored the theme of "ZERO" in two performances; an existential zero state, the void, was explored and danced. The production took place as an experimental lecture performance, meditation and installation in the art space of the KloHäuschen.
      
      AFTER ZERO will now directly follow on from this production, with the question of what can come after the void of zero? Thus the butoh dancer enters into a psychophysical confrontation and is thrown back on his own fragile wildness, on his inner unknown animal, for which the open landscape space of the riverbed seems ideal. In exchange with this nature, a magical-shy dance emerges.

      “16 BIT” is a new contemporary dance production exploring the unique circumstances that allowed techno to become an artform and social phenomenon.
      
      Emerging from a decades-deep transatlantic cultural exchange, techno has given voice and purpose to marginalised communities, incubated scientific experimentation and courted the avant-garde through technological and cultural revolutions. It’s an Afrofuturist expression for the Black community in Detroit, and it embodied liberation and reunification as the Berlin wall fell.
      
      “16 BIT” absorbs these ideas and examines the evolution of techno from the ill-defined, DIY landscape of 1980s electronic music through to the globally recognised genre that heralded the early 90s. As a performance, 16 BIT expresses the inherent energy of techno’s progressive arc in movement, embodying the music’s physicality and the resulting motion of the collective as a committed, hypnotic body – a body weighted with meaning and charged with the power to change the world beyond the confines of the dancefloor.

      A dance mashup, a bastard pop collage stolen from 1000 different sources: In AUTOPLAY, the copy & paste button becomes the leitmotif. Every movement, every sound, every image is an objet trouvé taken from the World Wide Web. From contemporary choreography to the Harlem Shake, from the video game Fortnite to shampoo commercials, from the selfie style on Instagram to the globally marketed pose of Michelangelo's David – everything is recombined, reorganized and intermixed. In AUTOPLAY, Moritz Ostruschnjak sends the audience off into a space of hyperlinks that amalgamate into an image of (digital) existence in the 21st century – utopia and consumer terror, subculture and populism are always just one click away from each other.

      MÄRML shimmers in all possible shades of red from pale pink to bright red to deep purple. Through the openings of its expansive fabric texture, it encourages voyages of discovery into its interior.... Composed of used coats sewn together, it is ready for new adventures.
      
      MÄRML is the name Katrin Schafitel has given to the new costume-object by textile artist Robert Kis, with which and through which she moves in public space and explores its peculiarities. The performer creates unimagined and very fleeting fabric-human combinations in dance - quasi second sculptures - which form a different shape again from every perspective. An invitation to the passers-by to let themselves be surprised and captivated by this multiform living being...
      
      Katrin Schafitel was last on the road in 2021 with the object-costume ZWINK in public space: see the gallery @ZWINK2022

      In 1970, at the age of 25, Shulamith Firestone published the book "The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution," which is still considered a fundamental feminist work today. She had often presented her radical theses on the connection between women's liberation and sexual revolution, and became a best-selling author. Her second and last book, Airless Spaces (1998), is a "sequence of trenchant vignettes about the lives of the poor inside and outside state mental institutions, a document of the isolation suffered by women who continue to follow their convictions even after they have lost their popularity." (Chris Kraus)
      Inspired by Firestone's biography and these portraits written with "grim laconicity," choreographer and dancer Zufit Simon's solo follows the effects that political and private conflicts can have on female corporeality. Economic and psychological-private oppression are questioned and translated into the language of dance.

      In LOT, Fabian Riess and Tasha Hess-Neustadt deal with construction and decay. A flow of affect and resonance accelerates the volume of silence. For two years, the collective has been dealing with the extremes of restriction and freedom and, in its somatic research, is concerned with their effects on the body. Starting from a dystopian landscape, they interact with the space, follow impulses, create closeness and intimacy. Two performers in a trio with their surroundings.
      
      Imagine a desert arena, a suspended and liminal space. Somewhere after the decaying remnants of capitalist realism have lost their meaning, before the formation of the next future fantasy. A somatic kind of science fiction. Decay and regrowth morph into one another. Movement becomes the measure of temporality. Cycles open and close steadily, almost imperceptibly, until the previous order reveals itself in a new form. After the sun has bleached out all artifacts of our late anthropocene, and the lava has solidified back into cracking stone, we dream to ride the thing which breaks us. To reappropriate the constancy of our systems.
      
      The dancer/choreographer collective Riess Neustadt has been creating and dancing at the interface of somatics and installation since 2020. They work with material installations with which they interact through movement and through sound and silence. In their dance practice they work with physical states and somatic movement qualities. The subject matter of their work centers around cultural and subcultural references from queer perspectives. Their productions have already been shown at the Schwere Reiter Munich, Gallus Theater Frankfurt, Delphi Space Freiburg and the Tanzzentrale Nuremberg. In addition to their shared choreographic practice, they each work individually as dancers with choreographers such as Johannes Wieland and Simone Mousset.

      When does something become an icon - an image that is exaggerated in its meaning and thus immediately provokes its destruction? In the performative installation, the theater is staged as a temple, iconic processes of form are questioned and their symbolism is played with. Performative actions condense into rituals, sculptural body images appear. Spherical soundscapes, which intensify the movement and posture of the bodies, create a seemingly choral tapestry of sound. A live camera as an image machine involves all those present and becomes part of the choreography: ICONSCLASH, an event between ecstasy of images and iconoclasm.

      Charles Linehan will be developing ideas from his research at Standpunkt 2010. He will be working with musician/ performer Scott Smith to develop "The Fault Index".

      "The Fault Index" is a celebration of isolated events, a series of connected and unconnected incidents presented in a different order for each performance. At its heart are three ensemble pieces that weave together disparate and independent choreographic elements in a percussive and spirited tour de force.

      We will experiment with sounds and performance ideas in relation to two structures connected by piano stings, work on compositions and research ambient and percussive themes.

      Scott will be play an outside role as musician, soundmaker, stagehand (moving equipment lights) manipulator and observer.

      „By system I mean all the levels of systems: the organism's individual system, within a family system, within a societal system (rural, village, city as well as religious, educational, political, sexual), within a global system (international politics, government). If you want to define system further in the description or title we could say something like:
      Gesture as Embodiment of the System from Individual to Global”
      - or: personal to global
      - or: the individual to the world“

      Step by step, Heidemarie Schwermer dropped out of existing structures and grew into a new kind of freedom. Since May 1996 the former teacher and psychotherapist has been living without money. Her book “The Star Money Experiment” is not merely the description of an intense life of convictions, but at the same time an encouragement, to reevaluate our value system and to dare live alternative forms of togetherness and co-operation.

      Due to its complex employability, the so called “Experimental Film” or “Avantgarde Film” is always searching for alternative ways and tools to be seen. This led to the development of unique distribution channels and brought up particular forms of self organization. Amongst the description of economical utilization of experimental film and video art, Oliver Kohlmann will question terms of copyright and briefly highlight the influence of the New Media on the business.

      Oliver Kohlmann works at the Berlin moviestore “Image Movement”.

      The choreographers of the Tanztendenz Munich invite fellow artists and choreographers from Germany and abroad to research and work on the topic of “(Sub-)Systems: Agents and Dissidents“.

      The last two Choreographers’ Ateliers in 2005 and 2008 dealt with possible role models of artists (pirates, warriors), and the next Choreographers’ Atelier 2011 entitled “(Sub-)Systems: Agents and Dissidents” will continue in this direction.
      The focus will be on different kinds of subsystems – existing parallel societies that subvert the values of their surrounding society. Agents infiltrate foreign systems for the purpose of obtaining information, in other words: to spy, they live “undercover”. Dissidents openly criticize the political system, disregarding the zeitgeist and consciously accepting personal disadvantages. Agents and dissidents are outsiders and committed to above-average attention and alertness. They have clear goals and a defined enemy. They define themselves by opposition. Heidemarie Schwermer for instance has been living without money since 1996, she dropped out of the existing structures. In her book “Das Sterntalerexperiment” (“The Star Money Experiment”) she describes her experiences.

      The Atelier casts the net as wide as possible. The topic shall be explored and information gathered from as many different perspectives as possible. Lectures by top-class academics will once again be mixed with practical exercises. This offers the participants the possibility to get to know other strategies and ways of thinking that will subsequently fertilize their own artistic work.

      As in 2008 the Choreographers’ Atelier 2011 is aimed at choreographers from Germany and abroad and invites them to gather in Munich to highlight some of the aspects together with colleagues, experts, and artists from other fields. The main concern of the Atelier is to offer time and space to the artists to continue developing ideas and thoughts under professional circumstances and to enter into an intense artistic exchange with other choreographers, to experiment, and make new contacts without the pressure of performing. This is one of the very few opportunities for continued professional education for choreographers. For a period of one week five international choreographers/artists are invited to work together in various workshops that will be taking place in different locations in the city.

      Ma Ma Ma Materials (work-in-progress) plays out as a mix tape of performative identities. Through the sampling of dance vernaculars and performative strategies the cultural migration of a dancing body is charted. By exercising a chameleonic strategy, Linder is evoking the multiplicity of a body's inscriptions.

      The meeting of the two groups from Stuttgart and Munich is all about artistic improvisation. Instant PIG//Stuttgart – PerformanceImprovisationGroup – is a free-lance ensemble whose members have been working together in the SAAL FREI platform since 2018. Here, artists from the free scene practice improvisation as their own art and stage form and research the quality of the unique, spontaneous and unexpected.
      
      The Munich-based collective “ZwischenZweiZeit”, around the choreographer Karen Janker, was founded in 2022 and is also committed to improvisation, with a focus on space of action in which dance and music meet as equal partners. Both performance groups thus combine their long-standing work with real-time composition in dance and music: dance meets music, dance and music meet the ideas of each and every participating artist. Everything is in flow, everything is possible.

      Artists crash together fascinated by the rapid decline of empathy. Admitting that the waters around us have grown, dance, theatre and live-music weave together asking politely: Please don’t stand in the doorway. Don’t block up the hall. Pondering if the last time we cried was in front of a youtube video maybe it would be nice to go to the theatre?

      As part of DANCE 2015, Tanztendenz will establish a temporary project and workspace – art lodge munich – to present and discuss the multifaceted history of creating artistic space in the community in a programme featuring readings, activities, film presentations and discourse.
      
      Space is understood here as the result of choreographic thinking in multiple ways – not only stage design but also the form and creation of actual work structures and spaces.
      
      As a staged workspace, art lodge munich highlights the actual spatial interface of a field of thought, the open structure of which inspires reflection and debate in artists and visitors. It also reflects the special role that schwere reiter plays in art and dance production at this location and in this city. Tanztendenz, an association “of artists for artists”, runs the schwere reiter as a self-managing venue located in the city’s future creative quarter. The association of choreographers Tanztendenz München has been in existence since 1987 as a unique interest group in Germany for contemporary dance.
      
      On thursday, may 14, Christiane Blaise is our guest at art lodge munich. She will present the choreographic center "Le Pacifique" at Grenoble.

      RODEO MÜNCHEN is going to be a celebration ? for the spectators, experts and the Munich artists alike. This way, it gives both local and international audiences the opportunity to attend an exciting show of selected dance and theatre groups. Come to the wild South!

      In total, seventeen recent dance pieces and plays from Munich have been invited. Audiences at the five-day festival in June can expect a great show as the productions take their exciting performances into the ring. The concept also includes urban interventions, and the event is accompanied by a symposium on art and economy, which looks set to stimulate some thoughtful discussion.

      RODEO MÜNCHEN will be organized every two years by the Munich Department of Arts and Culture. Through this, Head of the department Dr. Hans-Georg Küppers wants to create the opportunity for local theatre makers and choreographers to join forces in presenting their shows to the public, attracting both local and international attention.

      The centre of the festival will be the Schwere Reiter area in the Dachauer Straße. Here the opening of RODEO MÜNCHEN will take place on 9 june, launching a festival at which audiences can explore and experience the diversity of the Munich scene. The evening will present a range of theatrical performances, discussions and music. Other venues of the festival are the i-camp / neues theater and the Muffatwerk.

      From 19th of February until 4th of March 2018 the Tanztendenz Munich will offer their studios once more to young emerging choreographers.
      We offer a lab situation for research and exchange without any pressure of producing to choreographers, who are at the beginning of their artistic career.
      The overall aim of “OPEN STUDIOS” is not to create finished pieces, but rather giving ideas and approaches a first try. According to capacity every participant will be given four hours per day for rehearsal. Optional a member of Tanztendenz can attend the rehearsals. At the end of the two weeks on Sunday, march 4th, at 4 p.m. there is the opportunity of an informal public showing at Tanztendenz.

      A walk-in diagram — a spatial hybrid between exhibition, cinema and stage.
      
      A movement profile from 30 years of choreography and action. A medial infrastructure of performative platform, pinboards, screens, listening and viewing stations—loaded and performed each evening from a new and different point of view. As an installation and an exhibition, “archival beach” unfurls an experientially accessible network of relationships among themes, references, persons and influences. As a concept and spatial diagram, it is a transferrable model for a dynamic archive of artistic work.
      
      Embedded in this on three days is “organic display – poles apart,” Purucker’s performance about the terrain of his work between dissolving and gaining the human body.
      
      Organized as a score for voice, “organic display – poles apart” runs two contrary trains of thought and bodily practices around a center that has been left empty. On the one side, there is the reduction of the human being and the person to the brain (transplant medicine). On the other side stands a practice such as bodybuilding, which aims for mass and bodily growth through enormous effort. Both strategies miss their mark, i.e. the body, and ultimately represent the extreme antitheses of one and the same fleeing: away from the body.

      A drift in the night – radio luma : into the night traces the footsteps of film characters Oscar and Sergio according to motifs from the films "O Fantasma" by João Pedro Rodrigues and "Enter the Void" by Gaspar Noé, with a voice-over of text extracts by Louis-Ferdinand Céline. The protagonists are destabilised individuals on an inner journey. The films are tangibly experienced cinema. And Céline? He loved cinema and wrote lines such as “When dogs sleep, they look like wolves”. Being in a broadcast with Micha Purucker means submerging yourself in a space that, thanks to the intensity of movement and the dancers, can be physically experienced.

      concepts of art and space
      
      As part of DANCE 2015, Tanztendenz will establish a temporary project and workspace – art lodge munich – to present and discuss the multifaceted history of creating artistic space in the community in a programme featuring readings, activities, film presentations and discourse.
      
      Space is understood here as the result of choreographic thinking in multiple ways – not only stage design but also the form and creation of actual work structures and spaces. Using two sample positions as a starting point, international models will be presented and discussed in dialogue with Munich choreographers:
      Jan Ritsema will present the Performing Arts Forum (PAF), an informal institution initiated and maintained by the artists, theoreticians, practitioners and activists themselves.
      Laurent Van Kote, international performing arts consultant for the French Ministry of Culture and Communication, will address structure building for dance in France.
      
      As a staged workspace, art lodge munich highlights the actual spatial interface of a field of thought, the open structure of which inspires reflection and debate in artists and visitors. It also reflects the special role that schwere reiter plays in art and dance production at this location and in this city. Tanztendenz, an association “of artists for artists”, runs the schwere reiter as a self-managing venue located in the city’s future creative quarter.
      The association Tanztendenz München has been in existence since 1987 as a unique interest group in Germany for contemporary dance.
      Those interested are invited to take part in a tour of the site on Dachauer Straße with Werner Schmitz (from the arts and culture office of the city of Munich) and Prof. Sophie Wolfrum (department of urban development and regional planning at Technische Universität München) directly after the discussion.
      
      In the days following, art lodge munich will also be open for two and a half hours before DANCE festival performances at schwere reiter:
      
      Sunday, May 10, 13:30 – 15:30 pm

      What does it mean to be a couple? To live together, to work together? What boundaries are drawn and need to be preserved? Where can each be himself, and when is intimacy visible? There are also boundaries within ourselves that serve to hold us back. In 1987, Liat Dror and Nir Ben Gal presented their Two Room Apartment as a moving two-hander that changed the face of Israeli dance and became internationally acclaimed. Twenty-five years later, Niv Sheinfeld and Oren Laor – who, like Dror and Ben Gal, were partners in private life as well as on stage – revisited the piece. Sheinfeld & Laor modified this minimalistic study of the boundaries that give our habits and rituals a solid framework as well as impeding and inhibiting our actions – thereby determining our daily lives. They give their version a fascinating new spin and gay makeover.
      
      www.dance-muenchen.de
      
      Born in 1972, Sheinfeld was a dancer with Liat Dror and Nir Ben Gal’s company for five years. As a choreographer, he worked for Kibbutz Dance Company and Batsheva, among others. In 2009, he was presented with the Rosenblum Award. He teaches at the School of Visual Theatre in Jerusalem and at the Suzanne Dellal Center in Tel Aviv. Together with director and dramaturg Laor, he established the company Sheinfeld & Laor, with which they developed numerous works that went on to tour internationally. Laor, born in 1971, received his education at Tel Aviv University. Since 2009 he has also been a member of Tmuna Theatre in Tel Aviv.
      
      Niv and Oren imbued the work with their intimate relationship and emotions, and the result is fascinating … Applauds to Niv and Oren for taking a work that was created some 25 years ago, and showing first and foremost how it withstood the test of time, and stayed surprisingly relevant.
      Ora Brafman, Dance Talk
      
      In December 2013, Israel Dance Critics’ Circle named Two Room Apartment Best Performance of the Year.
      
      Artist talk: May 10th
      
      Choreographers/dancers: Niv Sheinfeld, Oren Laor
      Based on the original dance production by Nir Ben Gal and Liat Dror in 1987
      Music by Ori Vidislavski (original music), Elton John, Vains of Jenna
      Artistic adviser: Keren Levi

      Moto Sensível - Second part of the trilogy
      
      In this second part of the trilogy begun with the show “Estéreos Tipos”, which theme is “Hip Hop and Fragility”, three points formed and deepened the basis of research to the scene. The use of gesture in Hip Hop culture; the repetition as a basis for transformation / corruption of some signs, the search for other forms of choreography for this language. Beyond, a concern: how to use these points to sharpen the perception of the spectator, offering other viewing angles, suggesting sensations, and perhaps causing other conditions to the one who sees / interfere with the look.
      
      Through the collaborative process, the mix of impressions and stories of the interpreters themselves, with the compositions of motion, this work also intends a magnifying glass directed to street dancer, in the beauty of their movement, strength and energy of a vigorous body and "without limits".
      The repetition that seeks subversion, the transformation that seeks approach, a framing that seeks to reach the spectator in other ways, are issues that affect this work. In essence, however, remain and deepen discussions on market, culture and philosophy in Hip Hop, identified in the first show.

      Discover the beauty of sharing! "Halfbreadtechnique" is a funny and intelligent evening by the Swiss performance artist Martin Schick who appears in the piece as the Swiss performance artist Martin Schick. He searches for the "more" that lies in "less". It's about the question of how much we really need for our personal well being in a period of post-capitalism and globalism.
      
      Schick's works are fundamentally influenced by socio-economic and bio-political issues. Above all, he is interested in what external circumstances do to our body and our feelings. The theater presents him with a space that is suited to testing and discussing these limits. He recently purchased a bunker in the Swiss mountains with support from the Swiss Nestlé Art Foundation in order to set up an artistic research center for post-capitalist ideas.
      
      Since its premiere in 2012 at Julidans in Amsterdam, his performance "Halfbreadtechnique" has been touring throughout the world, winning the hearts of his audiences and their money. An unusual evening that could turn your thoughts inside out.
      
      This guest performance is kindly supported by Pro Helvetia/ Schweizer Kulturstiftung.

      "I LIKE TO MOVE IT" is a further development of Zufit Simon's latest solo production, "Wild Thing". In this choreographic concert for three dancers and eight speakers, the three disco-girls' bodies create the music by rubbing their clothes or rotating their microphones in the air like propellers. A dry, pulsating beat from Jimi Hendrix's song "Wild Thing" drives through the whole piece. Over time, a situation develops of a reciprocal dependency between dance and music in a musical and choreographic process. The audience is then a third medium. The oscillations, beats, vibrations and resonances flow all the way into the audience's bodies. In search of an egalitarian relationship between music, dance, sound and bodies, the Israeli succeeds in revealing strategies of pop culture and translating them into dance with acumen and intelligent humor.

      In his new dance production Stephan Herwig is working on the phenomenon of violence and power. The bodies of the dancers become resonant bodies, projecting states of emotions that lie in each of us, seething and seeking for liberation. The air seems to stand still, breathing is hard and the sky is oppressive until the relieving thunderstorm breaks.
      
      „The dance I’m looking for - regarding the piece - is one of flesh and blood being percieved and experienced by the audience in its gaps as well as in the full extent of both extremities (the violent and the beautiful).“
      
      Stephan Herwig is engaging in a residency at the dance center TROIS C-L in Luxembourg from july 21 until august 3, 2014 with a final showing in the series „Le 3 du TROIS. The performance is accompanied by an exhibition of photographs of Stephan Herwigs’ work taken by the photographer Dorothee Elfring www.danse.lu

      The dancers that studied or are still studying at Minzu University of China are in their early 20s. Youthful and passionate, they represent their artistic position between traditional and modern China. Just Go Forward is based on a poem by Chinese poet Ye Ting and deals with the need for freedom and possible ways to achieve it. Young Beijing choreographer Yang Zhen combines traditional Chinese art with contemporary artistic strategies. Following on his pieces LUO LUO, Aria, Migrant and Root, he has turned the focus of Just Go Forward on women’s situation in the society of his homeland, which is orientated around the collective, and reflects on the role of the individual in the community.
      
      Yang Zhen studied dance and choreography at Minzu University of China. He has presented his work as an independent choreographer at major Chinese festivals such as Beijing Dance Festival, Guangdong Dance Festival and China Dance Forward 2014 in Hong Kong, and in collaboration with Tang Ka Dance Studio at the China Shanghai International Arts Festival.

      „Les Nouveaux Repérages“ : guests & friends
      
      Since 2006 the Tanztendenz has been a partner in the international network for contemporary dance: Les Repérages* that initiates and fosters contacts between 15 European nations, Canada and Brazil. Every year in March representatives of the national contemporary choreographers’ scene are sent to the “Danse à Lille” festival (since 2013: “Le Grand Bain”) to Lille and Roubaix in the north of France. Emerging choreographers can present short pieces within a professional frame and make important new contacts with international presenters. Until recently, the Tanztendenz and Tanzhaus nrw in Düsseldorf alternately sent choreographers to Lille. The latter, however, have withdrawn their participation from the network, leaving the Tanztendenz as the sole German partner. The International Choreographers’ Atelier organized biennially by the Tanztendenz has always been a format, which presented the opportunity to take part in the exchange by inviting choreographers, who had introduced their work in Lille. For the second time now the Tanztendenz will invite high-carat choreographic jewels to guest at Munich’s schwere reiter venue to reflect this new status as the network’s sole German partner: Daniele Ninarello with his solo "Non(leg)azioni", "Cult to the Built on What" by Adam Linder and for the first time in Germany, the brazilian Companhia Híbrida with the second part of their trilogy "Moto Sensível". Welcome!
      
      *le repérage: (determination of a) location, locating, bearing
      
      side.kicks is presented by Tanztendenz München. With kind support by the Cultural Department of the City of Munich and the district committee 9 – Neuhausen/Nymphenburg.

      Non (leg) azioni
      
      Non(leg)azioni is a project of improv acts in various places, where the body organizes its structure in the space to find new ways and directions without intention to tell. The only purpose is to open a way to what is unknown, becoming part of the space, favouring the feeling of rightness in the Figure. Investigating the space through body and his creativity. Trough improvisation exploring areas of the body and mind that sometimes are put aside, images and situations can reappear, full of potential and generosity that allow the poetic catharsis. Giving life to the moment, instantly, perceive, grasp and follow, choosing to do so through the irrationality of the body. Recognize the true nature, the first gesture that becomes movement, the root of every action that is coming, without losing the freedom and creativity.

      Cult to the Built on What
      Cult to the Built on What is a dance for three performers: a body, a lectern, and language. In seeking a place for vernacular experience alongside more formalist discourses of Western theatre Linder has re-skilled as a rapper. In this Rapography, Linder uses the lectern as a crutch which supports the playing-out of multiple bodies.

      Starting by accompanying artistic processes and documenting them, in “Hands and Days” Sabine Glenz transfers pictorial structures into moved physicality. Analysis and creation interact directly so the interconnections of creative work can be experienced with the senses.
      
      “Hands” stands for doing, for working out and creating sculptural, contentual and also choreographic material. “Days” is a temporal synonym for the processual. The stage is a laboratory and an open collage, a playing area for the performers, whose bodies are the forming tools that question the texture of movement.

      In this participatory performance Felix Ruckert invites the audience to perform a symbolic sexual act. "ZEN SPANKING" ventures into the grey zone between pain and pleasure and questions beliefs about intimacy, hierarchy, sexuality and gender. Berlin dancer and choreographer Felix Ruckert started to investigate sexuality as a creative impulse and introduced the sexual body into dance. He also will be teaching the workshop "Liquid Body/ Hard Stuff" during TANZWERKSTATT EUROPA.
      
      Participation in the performance is voluntary.

      Where do artists find inspiration? What sources nourish them? The subtexts of an artistic work are the theme of this series, which was developed by Tanztendenz and which presents choreographic thought and action in a personal format.
      
      During his stay in Munich, the Brazilian choreographer, coach, author and social scientist Paulo E. Azevedo will work on actions in public space, which he calls “anarchic tectonics.” Poetry slammers, dancers and performers from Munich who are interested in a forceful, political and typically Brazilian approach to art in public spaces are invited as local collaborators. Paulo will be accompanied by two of his many former students and colleagues: João Carlos Silva and Filipe Itagiba. They are the protagonists of the performance “Metáfora do Confronto” (“Metaphor about Confrontation”), which Paulo will present together with the results of the workshop on Saturday. The two performers will present a piece entitled “Corpo” on Friday. Afterwards the audience is invited to talk with the guest artists about the themes of body, politics and dance.
      
      A production of Tanztendenz München with generous support from the Cultural Office of the State Capital City of Munich. This project was made possible by the Bavarian State Association for Contemporary Dance (BLZT) with funds from the des Bavarian State Ministry for Education and Culture, Science and Art.

      Situated somewhere between dance, music, live art and comedy, the work of choreographer Jonathan Burrows and composer Matteo Fargion radiates delight even as it makes the audience think. Over the past twelve years the two artists have built a body of duets which mix the formality of classical music composition with an open and often anarchic approach to performance and audiences, bringing them a worldwide following. "Both Sitting Duet" was the piece that made their reputation back in 2002, setting the tone for an original mix of humour and fierce intelligence that marks out what they do. In Munich they'll follow it with their newest performance "Body Not Fit For Purpose", a commission from the 2014 Venice Biennale which clashes politics against the empty joy of dancing, unravelling the link between meaning and action and raising questions in the midst of our laughter. Both will be teaching the choreographic laboratory "Writing Performance" during the TANZWERKSTATT EUROPA.
      
      "Body Not Fit For Purpose" is commissioned by the Venice Biennale and supported with public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

      Sabine Glenz researches aloofness and intimacy, exaggeration or disharmony, and continually develops new narrative forms in them. Beginning with the contemporary phenomenon of constant access to all information and the associated potential for becoming fragmented into many presences and absences, the choreographer investigates the question of how we deal with replication. Does our relationship to things change and on what basis does interpretation occur?
      
      “Der Abstand der Dinge” [“The Distance of Things”] is subdivided into three different motifs which derive their tension from the spatial design and the choreographic language. “Replication” is the first part of this trilogy of walk-in installations. It will be followed by “Isolation” and “Order.”
      
      “Replication” is distinguished by the free movement of the visitors in the space, where they are confronted by ambiguous images and situations that are also communicated via projections. The actions do not follow a time track nor is there a predefined sequence in which the visitors are supposed to find their way. The visitor’s movements between the choreographed scenes and tableaux vivants are part of a choreographic axis, a spatially related story about proportionality.

      Excess, nudity, orgies, eroticism, ritualized pleasure, interaction with the audience and political commitment – all of these were expressions of sexual utopia in subcultures and experimental performances from the 1960s. The Danish choreographer Mette Ingvartsen leads us through an archive of sexual performances in "69 positions". She researches the understanding of sexuality in today's (artistic) practice. "69 positions" leads the audience through a space of performances, books, films, texts and images. Movement and language bring this archive to life. At the same time, the connection between intimate and public space is made tangible. The solo is the beginning of the choreographer's new work cycle in which she deals with the relationship between sexuality and the politics of the body and structures in society. Ingvartsen's previous works have been shown at renowned international festivals.
      In 2010, we presented "IT'S IN THE AIR" with Jefta van Dinther at the TANZWERKSTATT EUROPA, and "evaporated landscapes" in the context of ACCESS TO DANCE. She has worked as a performer with Jan Ritsema, Xavier Le Roy and Boris Charmatz. In 2017 she will be a part of Chris Dercon's new team at Berlin's Volksbühne.

      Sitting With The Body / PARADE - Installing Ourselves (workshop and intervention: no prior knowledge required!)
      
      Lab & Lecture mit Heike Langsdorf
      
      A first instruction for a person who practices yoga, says: go find a place where you can be undisturbed! Does this mean to search for absolute silence or a place where nobody else can come? Does it mean to be protected from cold, heat, dirt and wind? Or is the first thing to do, finding out what disturbance does mean for us?
      A two day workshop, followed by an intervention explores in which conditions one can act 'undisturbed'. Is there something like an ideal place? How can we deal with less ideal spaces instead of avoiding them?
      
      "Sitting With The Body" is a three day undertaking (6, 7, 8 November 2015) for at least 10 people: a two day physical-mental preparation (Friday, Saturday) is leading to a an intervention on Sunday in the semi-public space.
      
      Preparing workshop (Friday, Saturday)
      introduction / body practices
      - how can we apply them artistically?
      Body practices / a.o. Sitting With The Body (Zazen) / Looking for places
      - what do I need in order to remain concentrated during 60 minutes on one spot?
      Discrete Presence
      - How can we install contemplative activities as performances?
      
      Intervention (Sunday)
      On Sunday 8 November several spots in the immediate surrounding of Tanztendenz München will be physically occupied. During a couple of hours (depending on the amount of participants min. 6 hours, max. 12 hours) people are installing themselves on the selected spots. With the help of a rotating system all spots are ideally continuously occupied.
      
      Public
      People are invited to do a parcours, departing from studio A in Tanztendenz München and along the other spots, where they can watch the installed people or settle down themselves for a while.
      
      "Sitting With The Body / PARADE" is based on the work "Sitting With The Body 24/7 - Retreat in public space".
      Our lives are governed by an economy that never sleeps. What is its impact on our relationship with time, work and our body? During "Sitting With The Body 24/7" a group of people retreated into a vacant commercial space with huge windows giving out onto the streets - executing certain actions, in full concentration, seven days in a row and around the clock. Following a strict schedule people were sitting, lying down, standing, walking, resting, making things, dancing, speaking and looking around. This single-tasking contrasted with the urban surrounding and the possible influences and disturbances, which can stem from it. People could watch all of this or enter the space and delve into action themselves.

      A dance as a temporary monument.
      A moment of transience.
      
      Stephan Herwig celebrates with his new piece "Monument"
      both the volatility of dance as well as the individuality of each.
      The dancers create sculptural movement patterns and sequences, which sometimes appear fragile, sometimes vehement.
      A manifesto of physicalness arises without leaving physical traces.

      GONE follows chains of associations, dynamics and rhythms which link a group of people, but then also segregates and changes them. GONE plays with the energy within this group consisting of four performers who work together, communicate and establish relationships. As a group they are defined by their movements associations; the single dancer conveys his ideas to the others, defines himself through them or establishes borders between himself and the rest of the group. He influences the others and is influenced by them as well. Coalitions develop, then dissolve or crack. Images appear, formed before being filled with meaning. Ephemeral images which come and go like the air we inhale and exhale. They are not interested in sense and answers, for as Bob Dylan already knew: „The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.“

      Death is a dancer
      
      With "Lazarus - A white Shadow", Munich-based Butoh dancer Stefan Maria Marb seeks a body-poetic approach to death. In this archaic journey down memory lane, Marb stages the resurrection of a loved one and, together with fellow musicians, processes personal moments, gratitude and pain into a profound dance and music performance.
      
      “Butoh is like a corpse that rises to life again and again.”
      Tatsumi Hijikata

      Can the feeling of home be applied to any existing situation?
      Can we find a sense of home in any context?
      By allowing the sense/feeling of “home” to exist between the creators (us), our dialogue about how we would live and interact in this “home” becomes the creative space - and the performance. It comes down to two people who try to see each other and are being seen in the intent of seeing each other by the audience.

      Six media stations with selected films and lectures mark the opening of the Choreographers’ Atelier 2020/2021 and invite you to an exploratory journey through the myriad concepts surrounding the idea of “border”.
      
      The theme of borders as both object and metaphor in politics, territorial and regional development, philosophy, cultural studies, sociology, biology, psychology, art theory, etc find their expression in crucial societal questions about identity, territory, gender, class, nation, culture, health or religion. On the one hand, borders seem to be blurring more and more, yet there is at the same time an obvious yearning for clarity and belonging that expresses itself in themes of differentiation and exclusion.

    • THUR 26 November, 8 pm
      Thomas Fuchs: The corona pandemic as a collective border situation
      
      According to Karl Jaspers, a human being is confronted with a border situation when their former “carapace” of certainties, basic assumptions and belief systems, which provides protection from the contradictions of being, collapses. In this respect, border situations have an exposing nature. This concept can also be applied in collective situations such as the current pandemic: our former orientation towards the future is suspended; we must live with uncertainty. Yet a border situation, according to Jaspers, also opens up to us the possibility of grasping our own existence. In a similar way, a collective border situation like the corona pandemic can instigate reflection on how we would like to live in future. The lecture will pose several considerations about such possible developments.
      
      Thomas Fuchs (phenomenology and psychiatry)
      Karl Jaspers Professor for the philosophical foundations of psychiatry and psychotherapy, University of Heidelberg
      
      
      
    • FRI 27 November, 8 pm
      Michaela Ott: Blurring borders in the area of bio- and sociotechnology
      
      Borders thrive on the continued liberation from boundaries, on displacement and infiltration, regarding their appearance in both its political and epistemological forms. This lecture represents a critique of traditional philosophical delimitation and a plaidoyer for epistemological and ethical border-blurring. In this way, the concept of the “individual” is critiqued, in that it signals a personal self-awareness as undivided, autonomous and differentiated. Due to contemporary bio- and socio(techno)logical interference, media practices and cultural enmeshment, this self-awareness no longer seems replete with cognition and appears ethically problematic. This is why replacing the concept with that of “dividuation” is necessary, which instead lets various types of participation come to the foreground.
      
      Michaela Ott (individualism criticism)
      Professor of aesthetic theories at the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg (Hamburg Academy of Visual Arts)
      
      
      
    • FRI 27 November, following
      Günter Lempa: Overcoming borders – protecting borders? Thoughts from a psychoanalytical perspective
      
      Borders play an important role in psychoanalysis. How does a differentiated self emerge in early development; how do approach, exchange and separation between ego and object, baby and care giver take place? Using these “border problems” in the intimacy of interpersonal relationships as a starting point, the talk will attempt to open perspectives on social and political issues. In doing so, it will focus on questions of how important a stable architecture of differentiation and boundaries is for a society in maintaining its civilising standards, as well as how the expansion of the radius of empathy and solidarity to those formerly excluded can be achieved.
      
      Günter Lempa (psychoanalysis)
      Medical doctor of psychiatry and psychotherapeutic medicine and psychoanalyst
      
      
      
    • SAT 28 November, 8 pm
      Thomas Dörfler: The dialectic of the border: exigencies and irrationalities of cultural enclosure
      
      In this day and age, there’s hardly a topic more pressing in the issues of political debate than borders and demarcation, and their consequences. Social orders, territories and political camps therefore each create sharp distinctions for themselves in order to get noticed and look ready and able for action. This lecture aspires to discuss the ambivalences of social, geographical and political demarcation in order to make the case for handling social differences with greater equanimity.
      
      Thomas Dörfler (human and cultural geography) Project team member at the University of Bayreuth, department of social [and populace] geography
      
      
      
    • Available in the online-archive
      Spyridon Koutroufinis / René Pikarski: Border as creative process // a dialogue between Athens and Berlin
      
      The bio-philosophical assumption is that borders are not rigid, substantially fixed lines of demarcation, but rather continuing processes of dynamic (self-) limitation and boundary-breaching. An organism forms a unit with its environment and creates itself and its environment through the constant reconstruction of its borders. Writers such as Alfred N. Whitehead, Jakob von Uexküll, Georges Canguilhem, Henri Bergson and Michel Foucault are the focus of this enquiry.

      Ein düsterer Blick auf die Welt von heute: an immer mehr Orten begegnen sich immer mehr Menschen auf immer engerem Raum, finden immer weniger Zeit wirklich das zu tun, was sie erstreben. Das Tempo der Zeit rast davon, die Fülle an Eindrücken macht das Eigene unsichtbar und farblos. Und dennoch, es gibt ihn, den geheimen Traum-Raum, an den man sich flüchtet, wenn die Realität ausweglos, unerträglich, laut und lästig wird. Hier ist Platz für freie Gedanken, Unwirkliches und eigene Träume.

      Mosaico Danza, TROIS C-L and TanzTendenz represent the SHARED CHOREOGRAPHIC RESIDENCY Project in their respective home countries. The initiative brings together young European artists who work in contemporary dance as well as choreographic institutions and dance festivals that focus on research and young generations in particular and that put great emphasis on training and artistic development through the exchange of different working methods and by relying on European mobility. The project is a creative and synergetic encounter of talented young choreographers from the Piemont, Luxembourg and Munich regions who are nominated by the directors of the national and international choreographic centres involved in the project. Three creative spaces thus share three choreographic residencies.
      
      SHARED CHORE
      This component of the project is based on cooperation between the Centre de Création Chorégraphique Luxembourgeois TROIS C-L (Luxembourg), Tanztendenz Munich (D) and Mosaico Danza Turin (I). It consists of 4 stages – meeting up, sharing knowledge and experience, residency work and a performance in front of an audience. The young choreographers selected for SHARED CHORE 2012/13 are Daniele Ninarello (I), Yuko Kominami (L) and Stephan Herwig (D). Ninarello, Kominami and Herwig will work together from November 2012 to June 2013, travel the three countries involved and benefit from 10 day-working residencies in each partner institute. We thought it would be useful for participants to be able to rely on the support of a coach (or tutor) throughout the various stages of the research and creation periods. Christiane Blaise, director of Le Pacifique | CDC, Centre de développement chorégraphique de Grenoble and founder of the (Re)connaissance contest for young artists with Maison de la danse Lyon will provide this creative supervision and assistance for all three residencies. The closing of each residency is marked by an open rehearsal or informal performance in front of an audience.
      
      OBJECTIVES
      The project aims at promoting training and artistic development through the exchange of different working methods and by making use of European mobility with a view to enhancing cooperation between artists and choreographic institutes. The project’s main aim is not to create a new production; instead, the focus is on the creative journeys and cooperative processes that define joint initiatives and that require good teamwork and shared creative interaction and impulses.

      Choreographers of the Tanztendenz München invite artists and choreographers from Germany and abroad to reflect about their roles as artists in the society they live in. Impulses from practice and theory hailing from different fields will be supporting this process. This edition’s subject matter will be the space, the other place, the different structure, in which artistic creation ideally takes place.
      Does artistic autonomy exist only as an Utopia?
      
      Project design
      The last Choreographers’ Ateliers (in 2005, 2008, and 2011) dealt with all kinds of artistic role models (pirates, warriors, secret agents, and dissidents) – this time around the subtitle reads “Utopians and Tourists”. We are planning to conceive of this week together as one continuous performance, which is to take place on the premises of Schwere Reiter – including open air cinema, lectures, and practical exercises relating to the topic of Heterotopia.
      Michel Foucault characterizes heterotopias as „real places — places that do exist and that are formed in the very founding of society — which are something like counter-sites, a kind of effectively enacted Utopia in which the real sites, all the other real sites that can be found within the culture, are simultaneously represented, contested, and inverted. Places of this kind are outside of all places, even though it may be possible to indicate their location in reality.“ Heterotopias unfold a difference vis-à-vis the remaining space. Extreme heterotopias are in this regard the illusionary space and the compensatory space. They possess the ability to unite several incongruous spaces in one place and to create a connection between them, where none seemed possible. Here, their own underlying structure of time plays an important role: „The heterotopia begins to function at full capacity when men arrive at a sort of absolute break with their traditional time.“
      
      For the space of time of eight days five international choreographers/artists will be invited to focus together with the Munich choreographers on alternative spaces and places, while also conquering very concretely some places in the city with their presence. At a point in time when there is some debate in Munich about a Creative Quarter (Kreativquartier), the artists will formulate their own position regarding those spaces in which creativity can occur.

      The Secret and the Sacred
      Two Worlds at Los Alamos (English Version)
      Drehbuch/Regie: Claus Biegert 2001, 58 Min.
      
      Filmvorführung und Gespräch mit Claus Biegert
      
      Hidden in the mountains of Northern New Mexico lies the birthplace of the Atomic Age: The Los Alamos National Laboratory. The lab takes up forty-three square miles - indigenous land of the Tewa people, who are today cut off from their traditional shrines of worship: their prayer sites are either fenced off or contaminated. The central meeting point for artists and activists is the Black Hole, a former supermarket. From the Black Hole, Ed Grothus, a former laboratory mechanic who became an outspoken pacifist, resells salvage of the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
      
      
      
      
      Claus Biegert arbeitet seit 1973 als Journalist. Seine Arbeit führte ihn mehrfach nach Nordamerika, wo er insbesondere die Bedrohung der indigenen Völker durch nukleare Technologien, den Abbau von Uran, Tests von Atomwaffen und die Lagerung von Atommüll erlebte und darüber berichtete. Er initiierte 1992 die Weltkonferenz World Uranium Hearing in Salzburg und gründete im Ergebnis dieser Konferenz zusammen mit Franz Moll den Nuclear-Free Future Award, der seit 1998 jährlich vergeben wird.
      
      Dieser Abend findet im Rahmen des Internationalen Choreografenateliers der Tanztendenz München mit dem Titel: CLOSE BY - Unter dem Pflaster liegt der Strand, statt. Das
      Thema: ist: Heterotopien und andere Orte.

      The Dubai In Me. Regie: Christian von Borries, D 2010 | 78 Min.
      In Anwesenheit des Regisseurs, anschließend Gespräch, moderiert von Dunja Bialas
      
      Combining shots of Dubai with footage from Second Life, real estate promotional videos, and quotations from French philosopher Jacques Rancière on the nature of image-making itself, The Dubai In Me portrays boom-town Dubai, at its recent peak, as a theoretical object and product of free-market liberalism. An essay film with multiple narrators and techniques, which won a special mention at the 2010 Marseille International Film Festival, the documentary plays with subtitles, voice-overs, and the orthodoxies of documentary film-making, to create a unique piece – which in conclusion, suggests that the conflicts and forces creating Dubai, are found in Europe, and indeed in all of us.

      Lecture in English by Sigrid Obermeier
      
      man-place-space
      what happens between them? Together we search for communication with the surrounding space and with the place which is holding us. In which time- and space-level do we find ourselves at the moment? How do we let ourselves be influenced?
      
      Sigrid Obermeier, geb. 1967 in Landshut. Fachoberschule für Gestaltung. Architekturstudium. 3-jährige Geomantie-Ausbildung bei Hagia Chora-Schule der Geomantie-. Per Fahrrad und zu Fuss in 5 Monaten nach Santiago de Compostela... Ich arbeite selbständig und angestellt als Architektin und Geomantin - im Industriebau und in der individuellen Einfamilienhausplanung.

      The performative lab "WUTESHERE" explores detailed approaches that unfold energy and intensity through the group body. Together, a choreography emerges that can transform into the euphoric or demonic and negotiates the revealing and emerging wild.

      news garden – a landscape of reporting for six performers and one voice
      
      Micha Purucker‘s third choreographic scuplture: The public news stations’ idiosyncratic “news-speak”, blended and recontextualised with the altogether different concentration and affectivity of the dancers. The project addresses in abstract form the questionable amalgamation of world news with our respective local, personal, domestic situations as we all experience them at the breakfast table, at work, in our cars, as we listen to the radio, watch TV or read the paper. The dancers’ emotions and their inwardness produce a stark contrast to the professional indifference of the news anchor. The dancers and performers illustrate nothing, they do not recount or service any particular content, and yet links and cross connections keep emerging between the acoustic and visual levels. What becomes most interesting then, are the blurred intersections. The discrepancy between a specific textual content and the inherent openness of the choreographic narrative added to the fact that the two are perceived on different levels creates a kind of potential for unrest in this production. And there emerges a new territory of meaning which oscillates between acoustic and kinetic elements and information and opens towards an infinite number of personal interferences.
      
      choreographic sculpture passing by between 6 and 9 p.m.

      A piece initially inspired by the works of artist Juan Munoz, Flora in the Slaughterhouse is a bizarre fairy tale which explores the fine lines between formation and transgression, submission and resistance and victim and perpetrator. Finding herself within the confines of a sterile and contrary system, Flora – the woman, the mother, the plant, the disease - instigates a skurril and absurd cycle of growth, infection, destruction and new life.

      Elektronisches Rauschen, Streicherklänge, computergenerierte Sounds, Stille – Dali Touiti liefert die Tänzer/innen seiner Klangwelt aus und lässt sie dem Sound folgen. Sie saugen ihn auf und emanzipieren sich. Die Choreografie entwickelt sich mit konzentrierter Energie, reduziert, präzise. Emotionen werden subtil austariert oder explodieren in expressiven Gesten. Bewegungen verdichten sich in hoher Intensität und Komplexität.

      „Les Nouveaux Repérages“ : guests & friends
      
      Since 2006 the Tanztendenz has been a partner in the international network for contemporary dance: Les Repérages* that initiates and fosters contacts between 15 European nations, Canada and Brazil. Every year in March representatives of the national contemporary choreographers’ scene are sent to the “Danse à Lille” festival (since 2013: “Le Grand Bain”) to Lille and Roubaix in the north of France. Emerging choreographers can present short pieces within a professional frame and make important new contacts with international presenters. Until recently, the Tanztendenz and Tanzhaus nrw in Düsseldorf alternately sent choreographers to Lille. The latter, however, have withdrawn their participation from the network, leaving the Tanztendenz as the sole German partner. The International Choreographers’ Atelier organized biennially by the Tanztendenz has always been a format, which presented the opportunity to take part in the exchange by inviting choreographers, who had introduced their work in Lille. For the second time now the Tanztendenz will invite high-carat choreographic jewels to guest at Munich’s schwere reiter venue to reflect this new status as the network’s sole German partner: Daniele Ninarello with his solo "Non(leg)azioni", "Cult to the Built on What" by Adam Linder and for the first time in Germany, the brazilian Companhia Híbrida with the second part of their trilogy "Moto Sensível". Welcome!
      
      *le repérage: (determination of a) location, locating, bearing
      
      side.kicks is presented by Tanztendenz München. With kind support by the Cultural Department of the City of Munich and the district committee 9 – Neuhausen/Nymphenburg. Supported as well by the NATIONALE PERFORMANCE NETZ which is kindly supported by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media, by 14 Departments of Culture and Arts of the German federal state.
      
      
      Non (leg) azioni
      
      Non(leg)azioni is a project of improv acts in various places, where the body organizes its structure in the space to find new ways and directions without intention to tell. The only purpose is to open a way to what is unknown, becoming part of the space, favouring the feeling of rightness in the Figure. Investigating the space through body and his creativity. Trough improvisation exploring areas of the body and mind that sometimes are put aside, images and situations can reappear, full of potential and generosity that allow the poetic catharsis. Giving life to the moment, instantly, perceive, grasp and follow, choosing to do so through the irrationality of the body. Recognize the true nature, the first gesture that becomes movement, the root of every action that is coming, without losing the freedom and creativity.

      Cult to the Built on What
      Cult to the Built on What is a dance for three performers: a body, a lectern, and language. In seeking a place for vernacular experience alongside more formalist discourses of Western theatre Linder has re-skilled as a rapper. In this Rapography, Linder uses the lectern as a crutch which supports the playing-out of multiple bodies.

      Seit einiger Zeit beschäftigt sich Dali Touiti mit der Musik und der faszinierenden Künstlerpersönlichkeit von John Cage. Sie inspirierte ihn zu seiner Arbeit „Center of Gravity“, der er wieder und wieder eine neue Form gibt und sie weiter entwickelt.
      
      Choreografie: Dali Touiti
      Tanz: Edith Buttingsrud Pedersen, Mariko Yamada, Cheri Isen, Marie Lykkemark
      Musik: John Cage „Roaratorio“, 48nord "about variations"
      Videoinstallation: Felix Leon Westner
      
      Auch die Musik von 48nord (Ulrich Müller und Siegfried Rössert) ist der künstlerischen Arbeit von Dali Touiti sehr nah - über Genregrenzen hinweg, experimentell, improvisierend. "Physical" gibt als work in progress einen Vorgeschmack auf die kommende Arbeit.

      Are you man enough to be gay?
      
      Stephan Herwig’s latest dance production is inspired by the perspective of gay artists in the History of Art and Aesthetics.
      Five male dancers on stage: That basic constellation in itself creates a vibrant energy all of its own. The dancers are revealing themselves, they are getting to the bottom of both their masculine and feminine sides; at times reluctantly and suggestively; at other times in an aggressive and extroverted manner.
      Stereotypes are being shifted and dispelled; different images of the male body are being evoked and called into question. The strong individual personalities of the dancers create a fascinating and energizing friction. While not, however, tying anything down, but leaving as much of interpretation up in the air as possible – the borders are blurred. Ultimately, it is all about “being oneself and to allow this with all its consequences.”

      VALSE EN TROIS TEMPS
      On a classical music theme, Christian & François Ben Aïm put into perspective artistic disciplines, this time between contemporary movement and classical music. This solo will be questioning notions of abstraction and fluidity of the body in space. The choreographical act is emphasized here, proposing a moment of aerial dance, when the soul lets itself goes and travels with its body.
      
      Choreography: CFB 451 - Christian et François Ben Aïm
      Dance: Aurélie Berland
      Duration: 15 minutes
      
      ADOM MODULATIONS
      In Hebrew ADOM stands for “red“. DAM- Blood, ADAM – the first human being and ADAMA – earth. All these words share a strong connection, which develops into a choreographically dense, highly musical duet. Two slender bodies in a web of complex movements. Bodies striving to stand upright, stumble, falter, always with the depths of the abyss at their feet. Their movements are perpetuated in the Other’s body, they are a mutual source of support and locomotion. A helping hand is always also a physical relationship of interdependency. And so the dance develops desired and undesired relationships of interdependency.
      
      “Initially ADOM was just a study that developed from performance to performance. A specific quality of movement emerged between the two bodies and to the ground. ADOM Modulations is a revision of the original topic, which also gives me a chance to build up on it and develop it further.”

      Since 2006 the Tanztendenz has been a partner in the international network for contemporary dance: Les Repérages* that initiates and fosters contacts between 15 European nations, Canada, Brazil, and Tunisia. Every year in March representatives of the national contemporary choreographers’ scene are sent to the “Danse à Lille” festival (2014: “Le Grand Bain”) to Lille and Roubaix in the north of France. Emerging choreographers can present short pieces within a professional frame and make important new contacts with international presenters. Until recently, the Tanztendenz and Tanzhaus nrw in Düsseldorf alternately sent choreographers to Lille. The latter, however, have withdrawn their participation from the network, leaving the Tanztendenz as the sole German partner.
      The International Choreographers’ Atelier organized biennially by the Tanztendenz has always been a format, which presented the opportunity to take part in the exchange by inviting choreographers, who had introduced their work in Lille.
      For the first time now the Tanztendenz will invite high-carat choreographic jewels to guest at Munich’s schwere reiter venue to reflect this new status as the network’s sole German partner:
      Compagnie CFB 451 from France will show their solo „Valse en trois temps“ as part of a double bill with Zufit Simon‘s duo „Adom Modulations“ – the performance Zufit Simon chose to apply for participation at Lille 2014. On another night the James Cousins Company will present the duo “There We Have Been” that could be seen last at Sadler’s Wells in London.

      ADOM MODULATIONS
      In Hebrew ADOM stands for “red“. DAM- Blood, ADAM – the first human being and ADAMA – earth. All these words share a strong connection, which develops into a choreographically dense, highly musical duet. Two slender bodies in a web of complex movements. Bodies striving to stand upright, stumble, falter, always with the depths of the abyss at their feet. Their movements are perpetuated in the Other’s body, they are a mutual source of support and locomotion. A helping hand is always also a physical relationship of interdependency. And so the dance develops desired and undesired relationships of interdependency.
      
      “Initially ADOM was just a study that developed from performance to performance. A specific quality of movement emerged between the two bodies and to the ground. ADOM Modulations is a revision of the original topic, which also gives me a chance to build up on it and develop it further.”

      THERE WE HAVE BEEN
      “My arm was not the one she needed, but the arm of someone else. My warmth was not what she needed, but the warmth of someone else. I felt almost guilty being me. As the winter deepened, the transparent clarity of Naoko’s eyes seemed to increase. It was a clarity that had nowhere to go.”
      Extract from Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami.
      
      There We Have Been takes inspiration from the troubled relationships portrayed in Haruki Murakami's bestselling novel, Norwegian Wood. Focusing on the first half of the story and the development of relationships between the novel’s protagonist and his late best friend's girlfriend, Cousins presents a daringly intimate glimpse into a secluded world of fragile dependency. This touching and emotionally charged duet sees the two performers’ intensely folding, wrapping and balancing, with the female character never once touching the floor.

      UTEROTOPIA
      THE UNFAMILIARITY OF REALITY
      
      Reality is both familiar and unfamiliar. This is the precise function of the word "reality": to make us believe in the familiarity of the world. Nevertheless sometimes we experience the unfamiliarity of the world: it's uncannyness, it's contingency and inconsistency. From birth onward the human subject has to deal with the fact that there is no way back to the level of comfort experienced in the uterus, which I (Marcus Steinweg) call UTEROTOPIA.
      
      Marcus Steinweg, geb. 1971, Philosoph. Seit 1998 etwa 250 Vorträge im In- und Ausland zum Verhältnis von Kunst und Philosophie, zu Marguerite Duras, zu Themen wie Freiheit, ontologische Armut, Demokratie als Exzess, sowie zu Martin Heidegger, Theodor W. Adorno, Gilles Deleuze etc.
      
      Seine letzten Bücher sind: Aporien der Liebe (Merve Verlag Berlin 2010), Politik des Subjekts (Diaphanes Verlag Zürich/Berlin 2009), Duras (mit Rosemarie Trockel, Merve Verlag 2008), Behauptungsphilosophie (Merve Verlag Berlin 2006). Er ist Mitherausgeber der Zeitschrift INAESTHETICS (Merve Verlag Berlin)
      
      Dieser Abend findet im Rahmen des Internationalen Choreografenateliers der Tanztendenz München statt, mit dem Titel CLOSE BY - Unter dem Pflaster liegt der Strand. Das Thema lautet Heterotopien und andere Orte.

      This circle, | I trace in the middle, | represents everything I know. | Outside the circle | is everything | I do not know. | If I make a new experience, | I bring it into the circle | and there I give it a name. | It then becomes part of my world. -
      Malgven Gerbes
      
      Malgven Gerbes aims to measure her own world. It's a world of memories, impressions and poetic thoughts that she tries to hold onto with lines and drawings. The result is a wonderfully light voyage, a graphical recording of her inspirations which will be mapped bit by bit. Far from that, to array the world, Malgven Gerbes visualises the fleeting beauty of a movement, a feeling, an emotion.
      
      Potsdamer Neueste Nachrichten
      “What started as an exposed trip for self exploration gained bit by bit the lightness and beauty of an authentic process of search that could take place in any of us.”
      
      Märkische Allgemeine Zeitung
      This performance showed the really new and offered a vast array of continuously changing images and experiences. A total work of art and an artistic self presentation with impressive results.

      „Alles Interessante ereignet sich im Dunkeln, ganz ohne Zweifel.“
      Louis-Ferdinand Céline
      
      rr a d i o *luma - real im areal !
      into the night:
      live mit Tanz, Sound, Snacks und Aktionen - dunkle Kerzen zur Vorweihnachtszeit
      drei Paraphrasen zu Céline, Noé und Rodrigues -
      drei unterschiedliche Ausgangspositionen -
      drei unterschiedliche Performer - ein Thema:
      Das Tagesbewusstsein schwindet, die Realität verliert ihren Halt.
      Wie die Protagonisten aus den Filmen von Noé und Rodrigues (Sergio und Oscar) überlassen sich die Tänzer einer Drift in die Nacht.
      Sie bereiten sich vor zum Eintauchen in den Dschungel einer nächtlichen Großstadt, sei es Lissabon, Tokio oder eine andere große Stadt. Mit der Innensicht der Tänzer kontrastiert eine Textarbeit zu Louis-Ferdinand Céline.
      
      Am Freitag- und Samstagabend gibt es nach einer kleinen Pause zusätzlich Quiet Darkness zu sehen, ein Duett von Do Yeun Kim und Bong Su Kim, und es öffnet der koreanische pop up store für Geschenke in letzter Minute.
      
      Konzept/Choreografie: Micha Purucker
      Mit Konstantin Bez, Wolfgang Cerny, Gonçalo Cruzinha, Chris Hartmann, Stephan Herwig, Bong Su Kim, Do Yeun Kim, Katharina Malong, Michael Kunitsch, Robert Merdžo, Manuela Müller, Peter Pruchniewitz, Peter Slabon, Federico Sánchez, u.a.
      
      Mit freundlicher Unterstützung des Kulturreferats der Landeshauptstadt München.
      
      Freitag, 20. & Samstag, 21. Dezember, gegen 22:00
      QUIET DARKNESS
      Duett von und mit Do Yeun Kim und Bong Su Kim
      At a dark beach we can not distinguish the surface of the sea from the horizon.
      but we can sense the ocean, its smell and its sound. by placing reason over experience and sensation - as in western culture - remote experience that involves sight and hearing became superior to direct experiences like smell, taste or touch.
      the piece aims to deliver the significance of „presence“ rather than „image“.
      quoted from „Matrix“, the movie
      „simulacrum is everywhere. it's all around us, even now in this very room. you can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. you can feel it when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes. it is as if the world has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.“ Choregraphy / dance: Do Yeun Kim, Bong Su Kim
