Press Conference: Thursday, October 29, 2019, 11am at K20
Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker will be present.
A cooperation between the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen and the tanzhaus nrw Düsseldorf within the frameworks of Konstellationen / bauhaus 100 im westen
As part of their cooperation, the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen and the tanzhaus nrw in Düsseldorf invite guests to experience pioneering early choreographies from the repertoire of the grandmaster Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. The internationally renowned Belgian choreographer and dancer is one of the most important representatives of the international dance scene and, with her award-winning works, has been making decisive contributions to the development of contemporary dance for many years.
While in the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, the choreographer is reconceiving her key work Fase, Four Movements to the Music of Steve Reich for the monumental Grabbe Hall of K20 as a site-specific dance installation, in the tanzhaus nrw the work will be presented for one evening as a stage version. This not only creates a connection between the two institutions, the respective specific forms of presentation of the choreography, and the different experiences of time and space associated with them, but also addresses the question of the relationship between dance and installation, between body and movement, and their relationship to music. Curator: Isabelle Malz
