Choreografische Werkstatt

Choreografische Werkstatt

The Tanzplattform Rhein-Main continuously supports choreographers in developing their pieces. Regardless of whether these are first ideas, rough sketches or already polished dramaturgies: all phases of a creation process are precious. The choreographic workshop offers space for these developmental phases. In the context of the Tanzfestival, three dancemakers or ensembles from the region are invited to present projects that are presently in production. In a post-workshop discussion, impressions can be shared, and one can imagine how the works might continue to develop. With showings by Kihako Narisawa, Cyril Baldy, Carolina Mendonça. Cyril Baldy works in and out of the form of dance—with all its history and protocols. His practice is rooted in dance historical lineage and uses physical procedures that insist on the value of a person in motion and relation. He interrogates dance’s complex forms, while composing choreography that draws on the technique of improvisation and incorporates frames of social behaviour and historical forces. His work aims to carry out and redistribute the conditions of movement and organisation with regard to dance, choreography and performance. It unveils particular “modes of being with …”, like being with the world and becoming a subjective part of a local event, and organise its consequences.
