Choreographic Milieu established as Fonds DaKü evaluation

As part of Fonds Darstellende Künste’s evaluation of their funding programmes, Sabine Zahn, Alice Chauchat, Ghyslaine Gau and Dan have been asking ourselves what performance and movement work in the urban environment needs in terms of support.

We feel ourselves part of a connected group of artists with similar concerns, a milieu. In September, we invited 12 other artists to present their work and discuss common issues at the Floating University. The artists invited were: Jason Corff, Paula Kramer, Clément Layes, Sophia New, Katja Münker, Gabi Reuter, Josh Rutter, Karol Tyminski and Siegmar Zacharias.

A group of 13 people all look at a laptop under a white awning on a sunny day. The background is foliage and they are standing, sitting on chairs and the floor on a wooden deck mostly within a white taped square. They look very absorbed by the contents they watch on the laptop which we cannot see. Photographer: Dorothea Tuch

Dan in two dance performances in Schöneberg with Alice Chauchat

Dan is taking part in two dance performances initiated by Alice Chauchat.

A Stroll, A Song, A Doubt, An Echo is a one-on-one performance walk in the urban space, with words and silence. Made by Alice Chauchat, Ghyslaine Gau and Dan, who live in Nollendorfkiez, the piece proposes a walk together, discovering how you can meet places with the support of words, song, and dancing. Strolling through the Nollendorfkiez at nightfall, you experience the city as a space of sensorial and imaginary encounters, where intimacy and distance are constantly rearranging. Every evening at 20:45 near Nollendorfplatz in Berlin between 17 April and 3 May. Register through this Eventbrite link.

Dance Gathering is an invitation to dance together from a menu of social dances proposed by Alice Chauchat.

Dan performing in This is Still Not Normal

Dan is performing in the choreographers Arantxa Martínez and Juan Domínguez’s project This is Still Not Normal at Radialsystem and Uferstudios in Berlin.

The project promotes a public discourse about intimacy using nakedness, the performer’s own sexual stories, performative encounters and conversations. “Over the course of an intimate journey, the project negotiates situations and encounters that immerse us in unexpected juxtapositions of bodies, identities, experiences, fantasies and desires”

The Radialsystem dates are 25-28 August and Uferstudios dates are 8-11 September. Check the Radialsystem or Uferstudios web sites for times and ticket information.
