Performance Projects

An emotional colourful creative collaboration, inspired by a personal memory. A memory towards a place that reflects a transition within the layers of human experiences, which are getting exposed.  The project explores the subjects of identity forming, desire for belonging, connection to others, in relation to stereotypes in our society.  Aspects we will focus on are the connection between daily life gestures and its physical expressive motives, individualism and personal characteristic expressions. That, next to group dynamics and the human need to be a part of a collectivity.  The development of the work will start with creating set materials by using specific tools of Sagi's choreografic method Physical script. We will develop very physical, detailed movement sequences, which deals with sensations and emotions. Later in the process, the participants will be divided in to smaller groups. The given movement materials will get re-constructed with tasks and creative tools to express the personality of each participant. It will vary between personal solos work, next to moments towards a collective of a large group manipulation. Fee: 190 € / red: 170 € / professional dancers: 150 € | Application for the project: mueller@tanzfabrik-berlin.de Additionally you can join the Contemporary training 6.1.-19.2.2020 Sagí Gross named his choreographic method "Physical Script", as he likes to think about the dancers more as moving actors who use their bodies to produce "physical expressive words", instead of "movements.” He seeks to create meaning to every moment and movement and to articulate its meaning, within the context of the material provided by this physical language. He is attracted to the sense of present of being in the 'here and now'. The class focuses on different qualities and dynamics. Developing exercises that focus on articulating movements, to give space between the bones, joints and against the floor. Finding ways to individualize these physical ideas for each person, considering their needs and unique way of working. Further more, using musicality to develop and challenge. Motivating the dancers to enjoy and appreciate the technique, next to self awareness, as well as keeping a healthy mind and body.

Choreography – Composition – Performance Within this performance project we will focus on the concept of 'the resonating body’. How does sound affect us? What resonates within you? What makes you vibrate? Hearing warns us and puts us in different states. Every sound goes through us and changes our heart rate and breathing. Our physiology and psychology react to sounds thus we are sensitive listening bodies. In this project we will work with this knowledge and deepen an understanding of dance and movement that comes from hearing and listening with our whole body. Our emotional and cognitive functioning is influenced by the environment, by the sound that surrounds us. Sound shapes our movements, our way of being. Is there silence - what is noise? What is that noise? Noise? We focus on the role of the body in the combination of choreography and composition and question modes of movement, frequency, vibrations, dynamics, rhythm and space through human and non-human bodies. Body, movement, dance, objects, space, chance, sound, light, rhythm, breathing, beating, running, falling, striving, sitting, lying, walking, sliding, flying, from far to very close, somewhere undefinable, close to me, close to you, all over the place, dominant, softly, warm, robotic, human, excessive, simple, memory of sound, echo of sound, echo of movement, a chorus of dance like a swarm… At the end of the project we will present a set of ideas we have developed throughout the period of the performance project in front of an audience. Fee: 190 € / red: 170 € / professional dancers: 150 € | Application for the project: mueller@tanzfabrik-berlin.de  Additionally you can join the Contemporary/dance-research class with Camilla Fehér  24.2.-8.4.2020 The class is open to anyone who wants to move, dance, experiment with repetitive movements, explore details within their own range and strengthen the body within a flow of movement. The aim of the class is to get more centred and more aware of one’s own body, the others and the space around us. - We will work from simple movement-patterns to more complex articulation of the body. Repetition and loops form a working method within electronic music. With these ideas we will inform our movements and change the dance. Sequences will be reformulated and redesigned throughout the class. Moments of improvisation will allow you to research further upon given ideas and material.
