Since autumn we worked out how to bring the Ebi – Figur to suspension. It took us about three workshop sessions, but this time it worked for four people, who reached flying enlightenment in cross legged position. The image below is just half the preparation for it, here with the pretty ropes from Arisue Go.

Starwurst – Ballett

Hier ein Ausschnitt aus der Produktion ‘Starwurst’ von das Helmi.

In Berliner Kindergärten und Grundschulen geht seit einiger Zeit ein lauter werdendes Geraune durch die Reihen. Es ist die Rede von Verschwörungen, wunderbaren Wesen und leuchtenden Schwertern, einem weisen Zwerg und vielem mehr. Wissen wird weitergeben und geheime Informationen gehen von Mund zu Mund.

BALLET TRY OUT III – OPEN STAGE AT MOTION STUDIOS

On Friday 22nd, 2013 there was an open stage evening at Motion Studios which takes place twice a year, and dancers and their trainers can present what they are working on in an informal frame.

Yui and me got to show an excerpt from ‘Agon’ by George Balanchine. The Gailliarde duet with music from Igor Stravinsky. It’s fucking weird to count, but very beautiful to move to once we got used to it. After that I did the ‘Kitri’ variation from ‘Don Quixote’, which I have been working on, but also paused for a while. I unfortunately over rehearsed it a little, so that my ankle got injured. Nevertheless I decided to do it on pointe, but there also went my concentration ;) have a look.

Since a while I am thinking about how to use ballet technique for performance. After this evening we spoke more about how to make the process visible, rather than the perfect end product, or on which other levels ballet can tell more than ideal bodies and romantic images. How could it be more punk, conceptually but also performance wise?

It was a great learning process to wrap my mind around these two, and train the complex states of thinking, imagining, counting, breathing…, which I much notice in my daily training. Thanks again to Jo Siska who rehearsed with us, and to Frances d’Ath who filmed the evening.
