performance project

The performance project connects your dance education with the performance work of a company.

As a graduated dancer you have the chance to work under the direction of an internationally experienced and renowned choreographer. You can gain performance experience and demonstrate your talent in a full-length production. At the same time, you will make national and international contacts and continue to develop your network.

Performance projects have a longer tradition at bewegungs-art: until 2014, they complimented the dance education program through the basics project, main project and performance project and found their way into the postgraduate project of tanznetz | freiburg (2019, BLOODSONG by Maya Caroll/The Instrument).

PrePerformanceProject 2023

What kind of dance piece can be created with a lively dance-class in a 9-day process?
The „Preperformanceproject“ gives the students of the two-year program of „bewegungs-art“ the opportunity to present themselves on stage. Fabian Thomé was invited to guide them as a choreographer in a crisp rehearsal process and to develop a performance together. A dance piece in which the energy of the dancers will break through!

Movement material developed in improvisations is composed by Thomé into a dynamic, shorter piece in which the abundance of 14 individual qualities is combined with his stylistic confidence.

In order to give the audience an insight into Thomé’s compositional approaches and the experiences of the dancers in the rehearsal process, there will be an exchange after the piece.
