SHARING ACROSS BORDERS #2

International Dance Network Festival

 

The international, innovative festival for dance performance and networking SHARING ACROSS BORDERS will take place for the second time.

On three festival days, SHARING is all about dialogue and the coming together of artists, young talents and the public. ACROSS BORDERS refers to our mission to build an international network. The PITCH (IM)PERFECT format offers young artists a platform to present their own work to experienced performers and thus to help them further develop their ideas. The ehrenfeldstudios invite its national and international partners from their studiotrade network to create a space for dialogue and exchange with six young performing talents.

Come join us for a weekend of discussing and performing at shows, talks, workshops and party!

PROGRAM FRIDAY 19.05.

19:00 OPENING  
19:30 DANCE PERFORMANCES

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.

14:00 PITCH (IM)PERFECT #1

Ido Grinberg | Keep in Touch (Sweden / Germany)
The performance explores the relation between the individual and the society in a changing world, and examines the movement created in the interaction between the body and the screen through the sense of touch.  

Dessa Ganda | Erb-beben (Germany)
Erb-beben is a multidisciplinary exploration of the socio-philosophical significance of traditions, legacies and heritage. A project with live music, theatre, texts and songs. 

Thaddäus Maria Jungmann, Daniela Riebesam & Carolina Brinkmann | JUNGMANN // JUNGHEINRICH (Germany)
The performance explores the physical relationship between a human and a machine body. The pas-de-deux addresses experiences of discrimination Jungmann made as a queer person jobbing in a logistics centre.

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.
