From Berlin: PLUTO Choreography: Julia Monschau D

From Berlin:

PLUTO
Choreography: Julia Monschau
Dance: Asuka Julia Riedl & Julia Monschau @asuka_julia @julia_monschau

PLUTO is a balancing act between the inner and outer reality and reflects our individual game of arranging, negotiating, voting and discarding, which we repeat every day. Like planets of the solar system, we revolve around one goal: harmony. But which reality do we give priority to and what is the ultimate goal in our search for THE reality?

Julia Monschau is a trained dancer / performer / roller skater based in Berlin. As a freelance artist she collaborated with Guido Markowitz, Damian Gmuer and has been dancing at „Deutsche Oper am Rhein“ and „Tonhalle“ in Dusseldorf (DE). Her own choreographies were part in different Festivals in Amsterdam (Dansmakers), Berlin and as a seasonal opening for Theatre Tanzspeicher and recently chosen with her new creation for the residency at Dansmakers in march 2020 with “#29828993".

Asuka J. Riedl is a dancer/performer/mover with Japanese-German roots. Based in Berlin, she is working for 'dorky park' under the direction of choreographer Constanza Macras. As a freelance artist she has collaborated with international companies not just in the field of dance but also in the field of contemporary circus.

From the Netherlands: ONCE, TWO TIMES Choreograph

From the Netherlands:

ONCE, TWO TIMES
Choreography: Ian Yves Ancheta @anchetas
Dance: Rowy Tebeest & Alkis Barbas
@rowytebeest @alkis_barbas

Two times the same is one time different: if we change the conditions of our performance, how does it change the result? This performance works with the lightness and playfulness of exploration. Exhausting one idea and finding new possibilities in the process. Humor and a touch of danger is also part of the piece. The dancers try their best to perform a seemingly dangerous task. How does the audience react to potential failure?

Ian Yves Ancheta graduated in 2019 from ArtEZ Institute of the Arts, Arnhem with a Bachelor of Dance degree. During his education he was introduced to various performance elements such as physical theatricality, humor and composition. These elements are central to his artistic exploration. During the season of 2019/2020, Ian was seen in the works of Conny Janssen, Ingrid Berger Myhre, and Davide Bellotta. He also created his own works "Titta på mina tuttar" as part of Freshly Made at Dansateliers, and On Steady Ground as part of Dans in Ontwikkeling Schiedam by Liat Magnezy. As a maker, Ian often uses objects as an inspiration to find movement in unexpected and twisted ways.

Rowy Tebeest (NL) started her professional dance education at the age of 11 at the ArtEZ Pre-education Dance in Arnhem (NL). She recently graduated from ArtEZ Bachelor of Dance (Dancer/Maker) year 2020. She has danced in creations of choreographers such as Samir Calixto, Sagi Gross, Dario Tortorelli, Katja Heitmann and Amos Ben-Tal. In spring 2020 she danced and toured in the work of Ann Van den Broek. In the fall of 2020 she recently finished working with Jerome Meyer and Isabelle Chauffaud at Korzo Theatre.

Alkis Barbas (GR) is a recent graduate from ArtEZ bachelor of dance year 2020. He has worked with choreographers such as Caroline Finn, Noa Shadur, Dario Tortorelli and Sjoerd Vreugdenhil. In the fall of 2020 he also worked with Jerome Meyer and Isabelle Chauffaud at Korzo Theatre.

Choreography & dance: Catarina Casqueiro & Tiago Coelho @catarinaclodecasqueiro

On the same stage, two bodies recreate the current reality of relationships: the distance in the presence, the fugacious presence, the lust of the flesh, the announced end, the distance in the presence... A parallel and alternative path or the ultimate fulfilling of the most intimate human desires? A work in progress in an era of immediate decisions.

Catarina Casqueiro finished the Dance School of the National Conservatory and was accepted in a 6 month program in the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company (KCDC), where stayed for another 6 months with a Gulbenkian scholarship. Became part of the Vórtice Dance Company and later did a project choreographed by René Vinther at the Bellevue Teatret in Copenhagen.

Tiago Coelho graduated at Escola Superior de Dança, continues his studies in Israel at the Batsheva Dance Company in Antwerp (Belgium) and in New York and Los Angeles (USA) Participated with national and international choreographers and dance companies, namely Vortice Dance Company, Teresa Ranieri, Marco Ferreira, Patricia Henriques and Victor Hugo Pontes.

Dance: Damiano Scavo & Rachele Pascale @damiano_scavos @rachele.pascale

In every love there is a form of possession that stops our growth and forces our identity to be constituted only within that enclosure, fidelity that we must not betray. But every fidelity that does not know betrayal or even hypothesizes the possibility of it, has too much fear of living with our own strength.

Marco Laudani is the director and choreographer of ocram dance movement. In 2013, he started collaborating with John Cranko Schule, Stuttgart. At the moment, he is a guest teacher and choreographer in the most important European dance centers.

Damiano Scavo is a contemporary dancer for ocram dance movement directed by Marco Laudani and he has been selected to participate at many festivals like: IDACO (NY), Martelive (Rome), Sumar (Còrdoba), The Wall Series Vol.2 (Berlin) and others; his studies are been enriched by experiences like Codarts (NL), Scenario pubblico (I) or the project “Ensemble” (I).

Rachele Pascale is currently a contemporary dancer for ocram dance movement directed by Marco Laudani.
