FerienTanzWoche N° 18

On the idea of quiet and disturbance, 16 children and young people explored the entire Treffpunkt Freizeit with its corridors, staircases, lifts, public and private spaces, indoor and outdoor spaces and an infinite number of in-between spaces. They „disturbed“ and studied the people who were there. Some hurried through the corridors others strolled from one place to another. Some were busy and others lingered patiently. Some were noisy and bustling and others were silently concentrating on their work. Each room has its own regularity, a special atmosphere and its own sound. The different ways of being, behavioural patterns and soundscapes that the children and young people observed there were the main sources of inspiration for the development of the pieces during the project week.

In TANZLABOR, these observations were translated and transformed into body language and applied to the stage space. The auditorium, the gap between the stage and the tribune and the stage itself became the playing field for the performance.
