tanzwuchs#6

Here, young dance artists have the opportunity to develop further a conceptual idea or to finalise a work they have started under professional theatre conditions. Artists are given space for scenic research, technical support and peer-to-peer feedback. They are encouraged to experiment with contemporary techniques and try out new ideas.

In edition #6, six short pieces featuring nine dance artists were shown on two evenings. For the first time the DAS Theatre method was also tried out as a means of feedback; an even more structured feedback had an impact on the development process of the pieces.

The pieces are independently completed works and are performed publicly on two or three evenings. The evening has established itself and is very popular with the audience. The tanzwuchs format was developed by Irene Carreño and Andrea Lagos on behalf of Tanznetz Freiburg.

In May 2021, Tanznetz Freiburg presents a evening of short dance piece performances, funded by TANZPAKT Stadt-Land-Bund, followed by a dialogue with the audience. The pieces are at the end of their creation process and last a maximum of 10 minutes. The programme invites viewers to experience innovative scenic ideas and then enter into a dialogue with the artists about those same ideas.

Due to the Corona pandemic, the evening was broadcast via the live stream platform #infreiburgzuhause. Seven pieces were broadcast with eight dance artists performing.

In the Cellar 40

Handmade Solo. A poetic action for all dance artists. Each move, each blink, each breath is our work... we dig the ground and do it underground... Inspired by 40 monologues from artists, "In the cellar 40" wants to share the passion & sincerity of a dancing body today.

Dance & Choreography: Sarantoula Sarantaki

"Please keep your distance!"

The dynamic between closeness and distance is more omnipresent than ever. Under the current circumstances of the pandemic, closeness and distance are being experienced and defined anew. Can distance also create closeness? What changes in the way we interact with each other can be observed? How are distance and closeness renegotiated on an interpersonal basis in everyday interactions?

Choreography & Dance: Miriam Cheema & Kevin Albancando

Line+

You would feel lines or boundaries in everyday life anyway

Choreography & Dance: Mariko Koh, Music: Nina Simon

Pardon!

I'm sorry I'm not enough! I'm sorry I'm not the way you want me to be! Sorry for being me!

Choreography and Dance: Clémence Juglet and Emilie Joneau, Music: “Sarabande” G.F. Händel / “Unravelling” Harry Escott / “Obsession” Gesaffelstein

Remanenze

The duet Remanenze addresses the desire for closeness and real touch. Two bodies, that attract and repel each other at the same time, explore the perceived and real distance between them and use gestures to tell of their desires.

Choreography & Dance: Mira Plikat and Selina Koch

Look at me through the mirror

The transition between youth and adult life, freedom has never been so conditioned, the decision for a permanent job that leads into a routine from which there seems to be no escape.
