Elektronische Live-Musik zu "Pulse" von Özlem Alkış

Vier Tänzer:innen kreieren einen immersiven Raum, der ständig unterschiedliche Intensitäten von Fluss und Pulsation offenbart. Die Zuschauer:innen, die im Aufführungsraum sitzen sind von Klang und Bewegung umgeben. Eingeladen mit Ohren zu sehen und Augen zu hören. Klang, Atem und körperliche Nähe der Performer viszeral zu spüren. Verteilt im Raum nehmen sich die Tänzer:innen Zeit ihre inneren Rhythmen und den gemeinsamen Puls der Gruppe zu finden. Das Bewegungsspiel von Sanftheit, Dichte und Geschwindigkeit entwickelt sich langsam. Der Raum verwandelt sich in einen pulsierenden Raum, der seine Rhythmen immer wieder neu bestimmt.

Choreografie, Künstlerische Leitung: Özlem Alkış in Zusammenarbeit mit den Performer:innen Elsa Artmann, Christoph Speit, Benze C. Werner, Philine Herrlein – Musikalisches, klangliches Konzept: Özlem Alkış – Musikalische Realisation, Komposition: Lukas Tobiassen – Technische Leitung: Dietrich Schuckließ

Soundtrack zum Tanztheater "Raincatchers" von Szene 2wei

Das Stück »raincatchers« trägt eine bedeutende politische Verantwortung, da es tiefe Einsichten und Be- fähigungen zu dem oben genannten Thema bieten möchte. Es geht somit über den bloßen Diskurs ebenso hinaus wie über die rein künstlerische Darbietung. Die Einbeziehung einer vielfältigen Gruppe von Menschen
mit unterschiedlichen Fähigkeiten in diesem Kontext ist zudem bemerkens- wert, da sie Fragen der Zugänglichkeit anspricht und die Vielfalt in jedem Individuum feiert. Dadurch wird ein wichtiges politisches Statement in den Fokus gerückt und die Bedeutung von Inklusion, Mixed-ability und Diversität in unserer Gesellschaft betont.

music and sound design for Lisa Hellmich's dance solo "unapologetic synthetic"

In the unapologetic synthetic performance, Lisa Hellmich explores how the self-determined wearing of synthetic hair can be a performative sign for Unapologetic Blackness, and a new definition. Unapologetic Blackness is a concept that encourages Black persons to not apply any energy to the consideration of what white people might think of them. In dialogue with her hairdo, new movement qualities become possible that lead to a confident gesture of empowerment. The synthetic hair, in merging with one’s own, generates a body extension and takes up the space it deserves.

Lisa Hellmich is currently concluding her master studies in dance composition, movement notation / movement analysis at the Folkwang University of the Arts.

music for "bagpipes" based on Béla Bartok's piano étude "Bagpipe"
the dance piece is part of syncopated conversations by Frederico Mendes Teixeira

"Too fast; too slow; or something in between.

bagpipes is a study about TIME in dance. What happens to timing, when you change the energy of a movement? What happens to timing, when you change the origin of a gesture and its path in space?

The study was based on Béla Bartok's piano étude "Bagpipe" and its structural division of time. It contains two main sequences, that were broken down into smaller sequences and varied in length, energy invested, front, etc. There was also a division between the accompaniment and the melody, which was played according to the contact of the dancers' feet on the floor."

music for dance performance by Lisa Hellmich

with Robert Schulz & Marius Ledwig

„Meine Haare sind nicht nur Haare.” Ihre Frisur ist für Lisa Hellmich als Schwarze Person immer politisch, gewollt oder ungewollt. In der Performance mesh-me geht es um ihre persönliche Beziehung zu Frisuren mit synthetischem Haar. Sie untersucht, welchen Einfluss das Kunsthaar auf ihre Identität und ihre Bewegungsqualität als Tänzerin hat. Wie wirkt sich das Kunsthaar auf ihre Selbstwahrnehmung aus und wie reagiert der Körper auf das zusätzliche Gewicht?

music for "sincopados" based on Béla Bartok's piano étude "Syncopation"
the dance piece is part of syncopated conversations by Frederico Mendes Teixeira

"center-out; periphery-in; center to another center; outside and more expanded...

Where does a movement start and where does it travel to in the body? And how does this path change when you retrograde the movement? sincopados is a (tricky!) study about the different ways a movement travels through in the body when you start playing with come and go / back and forth.

The starting point was the creation of a sequence with simple movements, then adding accents and changes in speed. Then we looked deeper into what body parts were involved, what were the exact contact points. Having collected this knowledge, the idea was then to retrograde all the movements, as detailed as possible. During the process, we figured out that working with pauses was very helpful, therefore they stayed in the final choreography.

The structure follows: 9 counts of movements - 5 counts of retrograde - 4 counts pause (2x) 8 counts changes of placement in space 5 counts of movement - 5 counts of retrograde - 5 counts of movement and repeat!"

Sound composition for the contemporary dance theater piece by Foteini Papadopoulou

as far as abstract objects / teaser 1 from Foteini Papadopoulou on Vimeo.

"What do you see, when you observe movement?"
Whether playfull real-time visualizations, elegant and invigorating dance phrases or space-filling sound installations: In as far as abstract objects the audience is confronted with an extraordinary stage situation. Each audience member views and experiences a different version of the piece. Under the observing eye of a refined media technology four performers search for intermedial spaces, perspectives and the way we perceive time and space through movement.

as far as abstract objects is a multimedia experience, in which body, sound and image meet and blend with each other in an unexpected way. 
Artists, scientists and technicians where challenged by choreographer Foteini Papadopoulou to catch the complex subtleties of movement, to modify them and - at the constantly shifting boarder between the abstract and the concrete - to artistically articulate them in a distinct way.
