Silke Z. & die metabolisten

 

Each of the invited guest performances in the DIVERSITY series is accompanied by a duo dance piece by Silke Z. with dancers from the ensemble die metabolisten, in which the transgenerative perspective on the content of the guest performance is taken up.
Karel and Hanna put themselves in each other’s skin. Themes such as age, shame, belonging and touch are negotiated. The skin as a border to the world offers both performers the possibilities of opening up and communication, as well as resistance and withdrawal.

BAAL | GINOIDE (Spanien)

Year 2029. GINOIDE is a robot with female resemblance. „Nana“ was built following rules set by a neoliberal society. Rules that our bodies, real or fake, have to obey. GINOIDE, will make us think about sentimental and sexual relationships. Where is humanity heading to? What will happen to the reproduction of our species? The performers Catalina Carrasco and Gaspar Morey present the intergenerational piece GINOIDE together with Max. 

Performance: Catalina Carrasco, Gaspar Morey, Max     

      

YELENA ARAKELOW (PHYSICAL félagið) | WAITING FOR A DANCE (Island)

What do we experience in the state of waiting? If we wait together, can we collectively experience a desire for change? Unfolding time through repetition and nothingness increases the anticipation for something to happen. Perhaps something we don’t yet know …

Choreography and music: Yelena Arakelow | Performance: Baiba Vanaga and Yelena Arakelow | Costume: Sólbjört Vera Ómarsdóttir | Financial support: Rúv Tónskáldasjóður and UNM Iceland | Special Thanks to: Khetsin Chuchan, Eydís Rose Vilmundardóttir, Jóhannes Stefánsson, Sól Ey, Dansverkstæðið, Reykjavík Dance Festival and tóma rýmið.

Thaddäus Maria Jungmann, Daniela Riebesam & Carolina Brinkmann | JUNGMANN // JUNGHEINRICH (Germany)

20:00 DANCE PERFORMANCE

LOW AIR Vilnius city dance theatre | Me Two / We, The Clique (Litauen)

Eine Gruppe junger Tänzer:innen teilt Erfahrungen des Erwachsenwerdens zwischen queerer Identitätsfindung, Machtmissbrauch und sexueller Belästigung. Das Stück dokumentiert und vermittelt persönliche Perspektiven und macht so deutlich, wie wichtig offener Austausch für Zugehörigkeit und Zusammenhalt der Clique ist. Das Publikum ist eingeladen, die pulsierende Teenagerzeit aus der Perspektive des Zuschauers, eines Elternteils, eines Lehrers und eines Entscheidungsträgers noch einmal zu erleben und über Machtverhältnisse in zwischenmenschlichen und generationenübergreifenden Beziehungen nachzudenken.

Idee, Choreografie: Airida Gudaite | Tanz: Greta Snitkute, Arminas Kazanavicius, Rokas Bugys, Ugne Laurinaviciute, Grete Vosyliute, Elena Milaknyte, Beatrice Saltenyte, Emilija Ieva Giedraityte, Barbora Mickute, Aura Sriubsaite, Saule Buciunaite, Smilte Kavoliunaite | Regisseur: Jonas Tertelis | Komponistin: Agnė Matuleviciute | Szenografie: Renata Valcik, Emilis Seputis | Lichtdesign: Julius Kursys | Produktion: Laurynas Zakevicius | Management: Gabriele Kundrotaite 

21:30 CHAT – CHOP – CHEERS!

Ain’t no party like a kitchen party! Dieser Weisheit folgend geben wir Performer:innen, Nachwuchskünstler:innen und dem Publikum die Gelegenheit, beim gemeinsamen Zubereiten des Abendessens neugierig zu werden, sich besser kennenzulernen, Ideen und Erfahrungen informell auszutauschen. Nach dem Essen geht es ab auf den Dancefloor!

PROGRAM SUNDAY 21.05.

10:00 – 12:00 WORKSHOP: LOWAIR | GROOVE YOUR FLOW

LOWAIR experiments with different forms of movement and dance styles. Laurynas and Airida’s creative exercises encourage to build interdisciplinary bridges. Their workshop connects Breaking Transitions, Isolations and Grooves from Hip-Hop, Intelligent House and Jazz Footwork. Open for all levels. 

13:00 PITCH (IM)PERFECT #2 

Mariona Jaume & Maya Triay | TRENTA-SET I MIG (Spain)
Our paths create a multitude of possibilities: encounters, crossings, approaches and distances. Tension and curiosity draw lines in the common and individual space. Simultaneity of seemingly contradictory realities will be explored through dance.

Hanna Held, Vivien Kovarbasic, Vika Grin, Rina Schmeing & Andrea Kößler | FOODPORN (Germany)
In FOODPORN, the performers put food at the centre of their feminist utopia and offer an invitation to collective seduction through the seemingly sinful charms of food.

Ema Senkuvienė, Marius Eidrigevičius & Greta Snitkutė | Truth or Dare (Lithuania)
As pieces of a global game we move on the space-like game board, hoping to be on the right side at the end. But: What is right for you? The performers reflect on their own origins and their history.

#1 WE (THE EMPATHIC BODY)

#1 WE (THE EMPATHIC BODY)

 

#1 WE (THE EMPATHIC BODY)

# 1 WE is a dance laboratory with artistic working methods. The workshop is led by choreographer Silke Z.

In the workshop, choreographer Silke Z. presents her artistic working method in the context of her production WE which is the first part of the multi-year project THE EMPATHIC BODY.

The performance WE deals with the question of personal qualities as a precondition for an encounter. In the workshop, the participants will be guided in developing biographical movement material and exploring it in different interpersonal and choreographic contexts. In a playful and performative setting, labels, self- descriptions and attributions to others will be explored and developed. The practical result will be transformed into a common vocabulary on empathy through different methods of reflection.

FÜHL DIE WELT DURCH MEINE HAUT

Observations on everyday racism Khadidiatou Bangoura & Guests (+AUDIENCE DISCUSSION) 

 

The starting point of the piece is a thought experiment: Black people and PoCs, as the dominant social group, do not experience everyday racism, while white people, who do not belong to the dominant social group, experience everyday racism. Connections between everyday racism and structural racism are explored. Through dance & text, an emotional, complementary and low-threshold approach to the academic and theoretical discourse on racism is pursued in order to promote processes of sensibilisation, self-reflection and self-education to actively combat racism.

Khadidiatou Bangoura is a dancer & choreographer with West African roots. Her artistic works include “The heart is a muscle” (2016), “Adult-ish” (2017), “Moving Structures” (2020) and “FÜHL DIE WELT DURCH MEINE HAUT – Observations on everyday racism (2021)”. Through dance, she aims to enable the analysis of our relationships to each other, to ourselves and to our environment, creating new narratives that provoke reflection.

There will be an audience discussion after both performances.
