Produktionspartner tanzhaus nrw

Die Choreografin war zuletzt mit dem neu zu entstehenden Gruppenstück IN THE HEART OF THE HEART OF THE MOMENT (2022) im Rahmen des Factory Finale am tanzhaus nrw zu Gast. Dieses ist eng verknüpft mit den außergewöhnlichen Zeiten, die wir in der (post-) pandemischen Phase durchleben. So nähert Alexandra Waierstall sich der Choreografie als Navigationssystem für Gefühle, Wahrnehmung und Verbundenheit, als Werkzeug, das der Erneuerung dienen soll. Jeder getanzte Moment reflektiert dabei den Transformationsprozess, den unsere Körper durch sich verändernde soziale Strukturen durchleben.
Die Künstlerin und Choreografin Alexandra Waierstall gehörte von 2014 – 2016 zur ersten Generation Factory Artists. Sie wuchs in Zypern auf und lebt in Düsseldorf. Ihre Arbeiten wurden international in Theatern, Museen, Galerien und auf öffentlichen Plätzen gezeigt.
Am tanzhaus nrw zeigte sie bereits ANNNA³. The Worlds of Infinite Shifts (2018) in Kooperation mit HAUSCHKA, Bodies and Structure (2019) sowie VENUS un/seen (2020)

Antje Velsinger puts utopian bodies at the core of her works. She ventures into the perception world of those skills that increasingly vanish and of acuity with “Dreams in a cloudy space”. She examines, by means of video interviews and movement research, how the slightly engrossed condition can also be self-empowering, complemented by two performers of different age who are occupied with signs of physical decay. Following “Massive Dreams” about expanded physicalness, “Dreams in a Cloudy Space” forms the second part in a trilogy on optimised bodies in everyday life.
Antje Velsinger is a choreographer and performer living in both Cologne and Hamburg. She showed a short version of her work “You are here” at Now & Next as early as 2013 as well as the feature-length production “HAUS, KEIN HAUS” during festival tanz nrw 2017. She took part in the tanzhaus nrw-initiated exchange project “Constructing Collaborations” in 2018/19.

Mit Umzug in eine vergleichbare Lage (2021) konfrontierten die beiden Künstler*innen Elsa Artmann und Samuel Duvoisin das Publikum mit den Atmosphären und Brüchen des Frühjahrs 2020. Ausgehend von der Körperlichkeit von Radionachrichten suchen sie nach dem Potenzial eines Tanzens über ebendiese Nachrichten, um Formen von Entmenschlichung einerseits spürbar zu machen und diese zugleich durch tänzerische Handlung und die Präsenz der Performer*innen auf der Bühne herauszufordern.  Artmann&Duvoisin, das sind Elsa Artmann und Samuel Duvoisin, erforschen in ihren Arbeiten Formen kollektiver Komposition. Mit ihrem Herangehen, das den Umgang miteinander als zentralen kompositorischen Antrieb nutzt, blicken sie auf Konzepte von Gemeinschaft, die unser politisches Klima prägen. Ihre Ausbildung erhielten sie an der Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig und am Zentrum für Zeitgenössischen Tanz Köln. Mit Hätten Sie von sich aus die Familie erfunden (2018) waren sie bereits im Rahmen des Formats Double Bill zu Gast am tanzhaus nrw.

Cologne-based choreographer Barbara Fuchs has been devising dance pieces for a young audience for many years. Together with musician Jörg Ritzenhoff, Barbara Fuchs turns to the body as social agent which co-shapes generation-spanning relationships, laying traces.
Works such as Pfffhh... – Ein Gummi-Schlauchspiel (2016) as well as PAPIERSTÜCK (2018) put materials and sounds at the centre that, together with people, change into surprising compositions.
The MISCHPOKE (2019) staging puts bodies of all ages under scrutiny and ultimately revolves around the question how they change and relate to one another. 
In Karla, Ändi, Arthur (2021), Karla Faßbender and her guide dog Ändi open up a world in which all the senses are equal. 
With the dance and sound performance DINGSBUMS for everyone from the age of 2, tanzfuchs PRODUKTION dedicates itself in May 2022 to the metallic everyday helpers in the kitchen and transforms them into a clattering orchestra.

Düsseldorf choreographer Ben J. Riepe continues his series of works contemplating the relation between dance, visual arts, music, and digitisation as artistic material. Ben J. Riepe returns to tanzhaus nrw with “Monster”, his new project that turns towards the uncanny and overpowering aspects in the massive restructuring of all areas of life through digitisation. Recently awarded the “Karl Arnold Prize”, Ben J. Riepe’s stagings veer between visual and performing arts, taking the human body as starting point and connection. His work encompasses stage works in a number of different contexts as well as exhibitions and other formats such as, most recently, the “MEDO” Summer School in 2018.

With the production of HOLD ON Cologne choreographer Céline Bellut delves into the world of female* fantasies of lust and desire with an interdisciplinary ensemble. Her feminist reading of physicalness and images, pointing out the long cultural history of suppression of the female* sexuality, could hardly be any more topical. In movement installations, sound experiments and “scores” leading to absurdly complex improvisational tasks, she relishes in narrating, with fine humour, a fantastical world.
Following her graduation at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, Céline Bellut lives in Cologne. Within Now & Next, the platform for budding choreographers at tanzhaus nrw, she presented Pop It! in 2017, offering an undisguised vision on the sexualisation of female* bodies in popular culture. During the 2018/ 2019 season, she took part in the tanzhaus nrw-initiated exchange project “Constructing Collaborations”. Within the framework of the Double Bill programme format, HOLD ON will open as her first proper production at tanzhaus nrw towards the end of 2019.
In December 2021, the world premiere of her new piece A performance is a long quiet river could be seen at tanzhaus nrw.

The “27 Club” is an internationally famous phenomenon, both terrifying and glamourous. Enis Turan picks up the motif of those who died young – and who, in turn, became immortal – and refers it to the concept of fugacity in the arts: Visual arts works are made for eternity, but what about dance?
Following his graduation at Zentrum für Zeitgenössischen Tanz Köln (ZZT/ Centre für Contemporary Dance Cologne), Enis Turan lives as a choreographer and performer in Cologne and Berlin. After presenting his solo “The Beauty and the Beast” at Now & Next in 2017 and his participation in “Cliffdancers”, a production by tanzhaus nrw and the Kopergietery in Ghent in 2017, he presents his newest work within the framework of Double Bill 2020 at tanzhaus nrw.

“Power Moves” is inspired by Fabien Prioville’s collaboration with Philippine hip hop artist Vince Mendoza who provides a unique glimpse into the Southeast Asian street dance scene. Fabian Prioville, as a dancer and choreographer, was aesthetically strongly informed by his contribution at Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch. He expanded the spectrum in his own works through an intense examination with new technologies. Following his choreographies “NOUS”, “Experiment on Chatting Bodies”, “The Smartphone Project”, “Time for Us”, “SOMA Project”, “La Suite” and “How do you fear?” was the 2018 VR installation „Rendez-Vous“.

“Die Schöpfung/ The Creation” is the current stage work by Düsseldorf artist duo Simon Hartmann and Daniel Ernesto Müller. In collaboration with dramaturge Annette Müller and through theories of New Materialism and feminism, they unlock a view on the world that prefers non-binary construct, searching for new means of survival and communality. Since graduating from the Folkwang University of the Arts, HARTMANNMUELLER have been devising their own works, among them “Melodien zum Träumen”, “it is what it is”, “Du bist nicht allein”, “in noT” and “my Saturday went pretty well until I realized it was monday”.

Katja Heitmann dives deep into a long-running research on the small gestures and incidental everyday movements, so easily forgotten, in “Motus Mori”. During movement interviews, she and her performers direct an accurate and empathetic view towards the choreographies of the clavicle, the tender swaying of the belly, and the anatomy of a sigh. And so, a unique portrait and archive of the city originates in a living museum.
Katja Heitmann lives and works in Tilburg, developing projects situated between choreography and visual arts with her partner Sander van der Schaaf under the label “this is not a show”. She could last be experienced at tanzhaus nrw with “Pandora’s Dropbox” and “For iTernity”. During a Residenz im Realen (Residency in Reality), she studied everyday movements together with visitors to the Zentrum Plus/ DRK centre in Düsseldorf quarter Friedrichstadt.
