Compilation of favourite tracks to dance with
Showing
by
Christina Ciupke, Darko Dragičević
In the frame of Tanznacht Forum EXPANDED
During her residency at our new, temporary location Grüntaler 9 – a dedicated project space for performance art in the Wedding district – Christina Ciupke will work on her current research to build up an archive of movement strategies.
The aim is to enable an analytical view of the inner organism of her body of works created since 2000 from today's perspective. This includes reorganising and cataloguing her knowledge of the body and of choreographic devices from a temporal distance. An integral part of this would be unfolding and documenting the diverse compositional and interdisciplinary strategies that have emerged in collaboration with other artists. Does the knowledge produced contain relevant potential and information that should be passed on to contemporary dance and the future?
In the last week of the residency the work «Compilation of favourite tracks to dance with» will be presented, a Solo by Christina Ciupke in collaboration with Darko Dragičević, which was created as part of the 25th anniversary of Tanznacht Berlin 2023. For this, dear friends and colleagues were asked to contribute one of their favourite songs they like to dance to. Each night the Christina will listen to a new compilation of these songs for the first time together with the audience – and dance to them. The Solo is a dedication to the favourite songs that we all love and that connects us deeply to a moment in our lives and the people we shared that moment with.
Information on accessibility will be published here 2 weeks before the showing.
