Projekt Tanzfestival: "638kg Tanz"

I really needed that Paris trip to take one last breath before the final preparations of that amazing contemporary dance festival in Essen (remember Essen? That cool city was "Kulturhauptstadt 2010" eng. Cultural Capital of Europe in 2010).

By chance I got the position of an assistant in that festival "638 Kilo Tanz und weitere Delikatessen", which is presented by the amazing choreographers Sabina Stücker and Jelena Ivanovic for the seventh time in a row.

It was the first time for me to look behind the preparations of festival organization - and it was simply amazing on how many things you work.

The festival will take place in Essen from 7.11-10.11.2013 in three different locations. If you are in the neighborhood and interested in experimental, contemporary dance - make sure to come by!

It started on Monday: 4/11

Indeed, I met women of presence. Stayed with their usual sangfroid and guided the preparations with compulsion, whether it was about light, music and sound or the artistic performance atmosphere.

Feeling and breathing the performances of contemporary dance today, resembled what is an emanation of its time and place. The controversy we face in this age illuminated in flesh and bone. Quite sophisticated, don’t you think?

It continued on Tuesday 5/11:

a lot to do: I needed a style that worked with a lot of walking, arranging, toting. 

On top of that with rain, temperatures of around 4 degrees (Celsius) and wind…lovely. Just lovely. 


And that’s what I ended up with. 
Usually I try to avoid Denim...but sometime there a simply practical.
