Projects BAdance
Winter dance project in the years
Premiere: Saturday 13 February 2021
Due to the pandemic situation we are challenged to find a new form for the "Winter Dance Project 2021". It is a great pity that for the 60th anniversary of the dance department at the HfMDK the direct contact to the audience has to be shifted to a virtual channel. We have decided, despite all the difficulties, to at least make a virtual encounter possible.
The motto is based on an invitation from the 1960s: "Come, and we show you what we do!"
Instead of a live performance, the HfMDK dance department has produced videos of the pieces created for the Winter Dance Project.
On view are new choreographies by Stephanie Thiersch, Cameron McMillan and Jean-Hugues Assohoto.
Contagion
Choreography: Jean-Hugues Assohoto
Live music: Bláthin Eckhardt
Dance: Naia Bokos, Judith Coumans, Silja Ellebye, Mathilde Ferro, Pietro Gallo, Daniil Philippenkov, Luca Völkel
Camera: Tadas Almantas
The connection of two materials opens new spaces and possibilities. Through a look, a sound, a contact, we leave isolation.
Does contagion always have to be negative?
Mar(s)ked Proximity Condition
Choreography: Cameron McMillan in collaboration with the dancers
Dance: Tadas Almantas, Vega Diesveld, Elise Fjeldheim, Yeji Lim, Xavier Lott, Andrii Punko, Emma Rasmussen, Ilgim Uz, Emanuela Vurro
Assistance: Katelyn Skelley
Camera: Tadas Almantas, Hannah Shakti Bühler
The filmed version of this piece is an excerpt of the full work.
Drawing from the ongoing and profound experience of the imposed parameters and restrictions to our physical relationships, both individually and within broader society, it has become unavoidable not to acknowledge this current reality as a part of engaging in the practice of choreography.
This shifting navigation of our 'spaces' has disturbed, skewed, and magnified the fundamental relationships we have with our art-form and each other, centering the tension of resistance and acceptance of imposition, and it's far-reaching impact on the way we experience and observe our lives, work, and each other.

As small as you can
Choreography, dance: Ariadni Agnanti
Music: Forest, Finger or Table? Fairies Are Waltzing
You should leave by Babis Papadopoulos English poem version, audio by Hans Ostrom Coach: Anna Huber
Camera: Tadas Almantas
The piece is based on the poem "As much as you can" (Όσο Μπορείς/ Oso boris) by Constantine P. Cavafy. The poem reflects upon how one should live his/her life. It is dealing with subjects such as the alienation and influence by mass media, the meaninglessness of superficial social relations and the caring of the "appearance" more than the "being".
AGUA
Choreography, Dance: Clara Valdera Barbero Music: Lungomare, René Aubry
Coach: Anna Huber
Camera: Tadas Almantas
Agua talks about being exposed, about daring to open up the locks and letting the water flood your insides. The piece deals with our universal need for closeness and commitment. An urge of being able to see and letting oneself be seen. From the perspective of the girl in the tale, trapped in her own mind, alone, for a long time, we might relate to the thrill of sharing complicity and experiences with others for the first time, once we allow the walls to drop. Agua talks about how it feels to allow yourself to be vulnerable and the reasons worth going under the rain for.
transparent bubble
Choreography, dance: Eunbin Kim
Music: AGF- topic ('line thickness'), Young-Ju Rue coach: Anna Huber
Camera: Tadas Almantas
This work started at a time when I felt the limitation of my movements.
It was inspired by the desire to be a dancer with a wider range of movement and expression. The process was a continuation of finding and exploring slightly different qualities instead of completely new ways to move, including difficulties, struggles and surprises as it is in the piece rather than trying to solve it, and challenging myself to widen my own frame and comfort zone rather than trying to get out of it.
This journey has been a great opportunity to learn how to expand and pop the fragile, transparent and barely visible bubble surrounding me.

The translation of the title of the project Sabar in Arabic is patience, I had the urge to choose this title for my first work to remind myself of the long journey I have ahead of me in the art field and the patience needed to overcome many obstacles along the road.
In Sabar I aim to tell the experiences and hardships, I had to go through as a stranger in different countries and the emotions I had to deal with, after leaving my hometown Damascus, Syria.
Also I expressed my words into rap music generally and to the song specifically, which was always there for me and accompanied me during the rainy days.
AC SLAG
A film and choreography by Steven Fast

Special Thanks to Robert, Ari and Léa Mo & HfMDK
In the midst of transforming we aspire towards salvation. Caught up in spheres of never-ending sanctifaction, we are trying to devote ourselves to you. Take your time and keep striving.
"AC SLAG" is an abstract tale about the search of belonging and the continuous way of becoming oneself;
It is an homage to my adolescence where I've never been able to express myself as a young queer human being. Questioning sexuality, the spectrum of gender and the dependency on others
were initial creative resources.
Under paving stones the sun
Filmic work by Stephanie Thiersch
in collaboration with the students
Music: collage
Dance: Ariadni Agnanti, Alice Brunner, Danique de Bont, Alexandros Karampatsakis, Eunbin Kim, Ian Kim, Lucy May, Antonia Selow, Valeria Schulz, Clara Valdera Barbero, Polina Zhukova Camera: Tadas Almantas, Stephanie Thiersch
Video editing: Tom Schreiber
Under paving stones the sun is a cinematic work created in collaboration with the students, playful city walks with clear scores that draw attention to the unusual in the ordinary, that wrest a piece of poetry from the everyday surroundings of the inner city, are at the beginning of a process that locates bodies in architecture. How can we deal differently with the familiar? How much choreographic freedom do bodies have in urban architecture?
Inspired by the situationist dérives, dance director Stephanie Thiersch developed choreographic film miniatures with the students of the 3rd year BAtanz.
Premiere: Friday February 7, 2020
The spectrum of choreographies shown in the Winter Dance Project 2020 includes new choreographies by Jean-Hugues Assohoto, Emanuel Gat and Kristel van Issum, a new piece by Johannes Wieland, which will be shown at the end of February at the 7. Biennale Tanzausbildung Hamburg 2020 at K3 / Kampnagel, as well as excerpts from Construct by Tanja Liedtke and the reconstruction of a solo from Rapid Eye Movement by Dieter Heitkamp from 1983, which premiered at TAT.

FutureDogs draws it's energy and frame from a somewhat disenfranchised, but emboldened and independent youth generation, defined by the digital age and dogged by an increasingly uncertain future. There is a constant edge of anticipation and an increasing search for connection, identity, new types of ritual, and a sense of place where uncertainties build towards wild release, acknowledging youth culture's desire to swiftly shift social codes and subvert the status quo in our culture that rapidly references, regurgitates, and reshapes information.
Premiere: Friday 16 February 2018
The range of choreography shown in the 2018 Winter Dance Project includes new pieces by Marguerite Donlon, Cameron McMillan, Ayman Harper, Susanne Noodt, and Stephanie Thiersch, who has worked with ZuKT students for the first time.
Their piece will be shown as ZuKT's contribution at the 6th Biennale Dance Education 2018 in Berlin at the end of February. The national competition is themed: Dancing in the Street - What moves dance?

Amongst the chaotic and complex we instinctively seek organization, narrative and order, to help create understanding and meaning for ourselves. This work is a physical negotiation, one that sees 10 dancers attempt to navigate their own paths within wider constructs that codify, impose and define, asking how do we reconcile the search for the self, the desire for connection, and the need for freedoms within the myriad of rules, parameters, borders, binaries, and limits?

Video: Tom Schreiber
We go into the urban space and collect clues on our smartphones: Audio, photos, videos are created intuitively and spontaneously in the context of dérives. By this we mean walks as experimental strategies of urban exploration in the sense of the Situationists. What choreographies do we find in urban space? What holds our gaze? What do gestures, attitudes, constellations of people reveal about our changing society? Together with the students of the 3rd year ZuKT_BAtanz, choreographer Stephanie Thiersch develops a repertoire of gestures from the collected information: fantasy, commerce and art in interplay.
Premiere: Friday 10 February 2017

This moment - here and now - is all we really have. We have to live it, embrace it. Welcome it. But we're conflicted: one leg in the past and one arm reaching for the future. We're preoccupied with things that aren't there and we lose focus. We have to remind ourselves that this is it, this is all that exists. This one moment in time. And whatever it may bring, it's welcome.

The piece is a result of a choreographic process with the ideas of a superficial perception of human body. Body as a storage of an emotional content or character and where a humor can reveal much of our essence.

"Incorporeal" is an intimate dance, of a group of individuals, in a spiritual quest. A sense of restraint within the body propels their movements. In a play between tension and release, the detailed choreography uses the bodies as a catapult of energy, which ultimately transforms into a trance-like ritual.
Prior to the performance, the dancers build this body/mind ritualistic state in the backstage area, allowing them to enter the stage full of aliveness and in contact with their inner self. - Iván Pérez

In Perfect Day the dancers worked against all obstacles that lay in their way to achieve something unique to them. Dancing with masks means, lack of oxygen, face irritation, eye irritation from exhaled air, inhalation of exhaled air stressing the lungs and so on....
A good day for us, is to be able to step beyond the discomfort and obstacles to be able to grasp what is important in that moment artistically.
A perfect day is to be able to share that. - Marguerite Donlon
"Oh, it's such a perfect day I'm glad I spent it with you..." Lou Reed

Help Your Pieces So They Can Help You Too - quote by Paul Morphy, a remarkable figure in chess history
The principles of the famous game of chess are coming into a relation with movement and furthermore with reality and life. Chess is more than just a game with moving figures on a board; it is a whole research of thinking, of strategies and symbolism. How every specific movement of one piece and the thought of every next movement, even from the opponent, is related with every decision, mistake, memory, experience of one's life, which will contribute to their development. Based on a historical game played by Paul Morphy, who introduced for the first time the importance of development and sacrificing to achieve the goal.
Dedicated to my father.

Regina van Berkel's new work, together with BAtanz students, explores the Sonates and Interludes by John Cage, considered one of the most stimulating composer personalities of the 20th century. Cage called the Sonates and Interludes an "attempt to express in music the 'basic emotions' (permanent emotions) of the Indian tradition: the heroic, the erotic, the miraculous, the serene, worry, fear, anger, disgust, and their common tendency toward soothing balance."

It is a very challenging time for all of us, but many artists* are very inventive and creative in times of crisis. "Skiès" (Greek: shadow) is not a piece with the 3rd year students about the pandemic, but it is an urge to keep working and finding new ways to work despite the physical distance from each other....
"See how this body casts its shadow and how dreams are born from it." H. Bosco
"Shadows unfold, act and live in silence ... Shadows have many names ... They appear around the corner, in the unexpected.
Shadow sides that dwell within us and that we carry with us ...
Shadows that are made, full of doubts, full of illusions. They access the visible world through our senses and take possession in the impermanence.

This piece is about the relationship with my father. Today, 9 years after his death I can finally understand that I did everything, just to make him happy.

About an aloud reflection of an anonymous person and his noise, his eternal sigh. About an interaction, a fight and even a meeting between two forces that are playing inside oneself and make us feel that loss. And furthermore, about the lack of idols and the need of starting to admire the only person that is a true icon in one's life: oneself.

The piece is a result of a choreographic process with the ideas of a superficial perception of human body. Body as a storage of an emotional content or character and where a humor can reveal much of our essence.

"Incorporeal" is an intimate dance, of a group of individuals, in a spiritual quest. A sense of restraint within the body propels their movements. In a play between tension and release, the detailed choreography uses the bodies as a catapult of energy, which ultimately transforms into a trance-like ritual.
Prior to the performance, the dancers build this body/mind ritualistic state in the backstage area, allowing them to enter the stage full of aliveness and in contact with their inner self. Iván Pérez

We go into the urban space and collect clues on our smartphones: Audio, photos, videos are created intuitively and spontaneously in the context of dérives. By this we mean walks as experimental strategies of urban exploration in the sense of the Situationists. What choreographies do we find in urban space? What holds our gaze? What do gestures, attitudes, constellations of people reveal about our changing society? Together with the students of the 3rd year ZuKT_BAtanz, choreographer Stephanie Thiersch develops a repertoire of gestures from the collected information: fantasy, commerce and art in interplay.

This moment - here and now - is all we really have. We have to live it, embrace it. Welcome it. But we're conflicted: one leg in the past and one arm reaching for the future. We're preoccupied with things that aren't there and we lose focus. We have to remind ourselves that this is it, this is all that exists. This one moment in time. And whatever it may bring, it's welcome.

There is reason to celebrate: 60 years of dance education at the HfMDK.
Since 2003, the dance department of the HfMDK has presented appealing and challenging programs annually at the Mousonturm and now for the second time at the Frankfurt LAB, attracting dance enthusiasts to the theater who are ready to be infected again and again by the young dancers' irrepressible desire to move.
shifting perspectives / dis_dancing ctnd provides insights into very different choreographic approaches, ways of working, handwritings. New choreographies by Katja Cheraneva, Marguerite Donlon, Toula Limnaios, Regina van Berkel and for the first time by Sada Mamedova (alumna of the dance department) and Evangelos Poulinas can be experienced.

In Perfect Day the dancers worked against all obstacles that lay in their way to achieve something unique to them. Dancing with masks means, lack of oxygen, face irritation, eye irritation from exhaled air, inhalation of exhaled air stressing the lungs and so on...
A good day for us, is to be able to step beyond the discomfort and obstacles to be able to grasp what is important in that moment artistically
A perfect day is to be able to share that

Regina van Berkel's new work, together with BAtanz students, explores the Sonates and Interludes by John Cage, considered one of the most stimulating composer personalities of the 20th century. Cage called the Sonates and Interludes an "attempt to express in music the 'basic emotions' (permanent emotions) of the Indian tradition: the heroic, the erotic, the marvelous, the serene, worry, fear, anger, disgust, and their common tendency toward soothing balance."

It is a very challenging time for all of us, but many artists* are very inventive and creative in times of crisis.
"Skiès" (Greek: shadow) is not a piece with the 3rd year students about the pandemic, but it is an urge to keep working and finding new ways to work despite the physical distance from each other....
"See how this body casts its shadow and how dreams are born from it." H. Bosco
"Shadows unfold, act and live in silence ... Shadows have many names ... They appear around the corner, in the unexpected. Shadow sides that dwell within us and that we carry with us ...
Shadows that are made, full of doubts, full of illusions. They access the visible world through our senses and take possession in impermanence." - Toula Limnaios.
9. and October 10, 2020
The solo dance festival SOLOCOREOGRAFICO, founded in Italy in 2014, took place in the Gallus Theater for the third time in 2020. For the already renowned platform for international dance solos, Frankfurt is now the headquarters and central hub in a network from Turin via Oklahoma City. In 2020 the motto was "go local!" & "Communicate globally". The focus is on a dense solo dance program with artists residing in the region of Hessen and Germany.
It is important for the festival organizers to maintain a festival feeling, international flair, cooperation, and discourse even in times of physical distance. The connection with the many international partners from Turin, Lyon, Berlin, Hanover, Jerusalem, Ankara, and Singapore is still central to SOLOCOREOGRAFICO and can be found in new, different formats. Artists and Festival partners from abroad who are not allowed to join are digitally present.
As a result of the international call for application and the international artistic network of SOLOCOREOGRAFICO, on the two dance evenings on October 9 and 10, ten dance artists are invited to present diverse and exciting dance solos of various aesthetics and duration. At the
end of the Festival an international Jury of dance professionals and the audience will award the following artistic prizes: choreography, dance, and audience award.

> SOLOCOREOGRAFICO Solo Dance Festival will present a dance film evening for the first time. During the hardest phase of the corona crisis, numerous dance artists worldwide massively flooded social media platforms and websites with dance video content.
Frankfurt dancers have also made a major contribution to this digital survival mode of dance. Even before the large volume of dance videos hit the internet, the Gallus Theater supported the independent scene in Frankfurt financially in this digital uprising with the "Dance vs Corona" campaign and later with the "Gallus Corona Kulturfonds" and spread the videos on its social media platforms and website.
The "Dance vs Corona" dance film night features some of the best videos that have kept the dance arts alive during this special time. In addition, some dancers will be there themselves on this occasion and give an introduction to the videos and their view of the "Digital Challenge" in times of the pandemic.
In September 2012 Dieter Heitkamp showed the performance Music is Life with students at the Museum Wiesbaden as part of the exhibition 50 Years of FLUXUS - International Festival of New Music. With FLUXUS, SUXULF & other Scores, he transferred the concept to the Studierendenhaus and public spaces in April 2018 as part of REVOLTE + EXPERIMENT_ Kulturcampus im
Aufbruch, he transferred the concept to the student house and the public space in front of it and explored the aesthetic potential of Fluxus today with the actors in the context of a one-hour performance. On the one hand, classical Fluxus scores by, for example, Eric Anderson, George Brecht, Jed Curtis, Ken Friedman, Alison Knowles, George Maciunas, Emmett Williams were used. On the other hand, new scores were also developed by the project participants and tested in front of an audience.
For the TanzArt Festival 2021, a version is now being developed for the parking garage in Giessen.
If one looks at Fluxus in the context of Dada, Happening, Performance, Environment, Installation, one can see that there are many similarities, which also have great significance for current art making: an international cultural movement, rejection of existing standards in art and aesthetics through anti-art works, public gatherings, demonstrations and publication of art/literature journals, interdisciplinarity, collective processes, connection of art and politics, anti-commercialization.
