Not long ago the history of modern, contemporary dance could only be found in books and dance archives. The great works disappeared in the mists of time as the main interest of artists lay in working in the here and now.
However, choreographers are these days becoming more interested in the reconstruction and maintenance of choreographies in the repertoire of their own and other companies.
The 2nd Biennial Dance Instruction Workshop/Dance Plan Germany in Folkwang University Essen tackles this theme. Students from all dance colleges in Germany devote seven days to the subject of artistic reconstruction in dance. They give insights into the artistic approach of each college to this theme.
Participating schools are: Folkwang Universität Essen // Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln, Tanzabteilung // Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Frankfurt // Hochschulübergreifendes Zentrum Tanz - Pilotprojekt Tanzplan Berlin // Palucca Schule Dresden - Hochschule für Tanz // Staatliche Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst, Mannheim / Akademie des Tanzes.
International guest speakers investigate further aspects of this broad subject area in a series of workshops. A classic of the 21st century opens the programme: Jérôme Bel's "The show must go on", rehearsed by the graduand class of the host Folkwang University.
