Summerstage @ Tanzwerk 101 / Zürich
Oriental Dance beginners: 18.30 - 19.50 h
Jazz Dance all levels: 20.00 - 21.20 h
These times are very challenging for us artists on many levels. Since more than one year we are more or less blocked. For us artists signify work nutriment and we have to take care on ourselves to stay upright and keep on looking forward to start work again as soon as the situation allows. In this state of imposed immobility it is fundamental to stay in movement to have a sense of staying alive as an artist. Therefor I organized a rehearsal room to start with 2 dancers, who have a strong background in Oriental Dance, with a research on contemporary veil. During the month of march in a short timeframe on 3 sessions of 8 hours we studied on different possibilities of using the veil in a contemporary arrangement. I'm happy to share with you an insight of this work in progress. A big thank you goes to the two dancers Marion Novet and Schirin Ghazivakili
for their commitment and trust in me to start using the veil in different manner. Credits goes to the beloved Tanzhaus Zürich for being still a place with a possibility to work and to Nico Aebi for filming.
