Out of Three

Three bodies. One space.
A square, a park, a street corner.
In Out of Three, three dancers meet in the open air.
They seek their place in the space – and with each other.
They play, challenge each other. Through playful movements, they explore their relationship with each other. Because how does the dynamic change when there are not two, but three individuals?

IntercettAzioni

A performance that, through contemporary dance practices, improvisation and instant composition, traverses the environment it inhabits as an interlocutor. The performance offers a powerful but poetic image: bodies that inhabit spaces, entering into dialogue with matter, light and silence.

Choreography: Paola Sorressa
Dance: Gabriele Crosta, Davide Galuppi

Irene K. - Six dancers in black outfits perform a synchronized move on a city street, arching their backs. A crowd watches in front of shops and apartments, with signs for “Commerzbank” and a jewelry store visible.

Divers

The dance school ‘Eschweiler Dance Center’ is presenting a choreography by Katrin Erz and Lisa Adamek. It’s a cross-group project that involves dancers from different groups aged 13–19. Various styles as HipHop, Contemporary, and Commercial Dance, were used by the two young choreographers in the performance. In the versatile choreography, powerful and expressive step combinations alternate with dynamic formations. The modern music promises a great mix of energy and emotion.

LEER_RAUM

Memories, deeply anchored in body and mind.
The absence tears you apart.
The space of the arms opens up.
The emptiness.
