HANNAH HEYDE & VASUNDHARA SRIVASTAVA // reinkommen // 8 April // 6pm

[Hannah] »We are very different, in personality and dance language. We come from different cultures, we grew up in such different worlds, made such different experiences. Especially in Vasundhara’s case, growing up as a woman in India, which is so different to growing up in Germany and particularly in Berlin, with all the freedom that comes with it, which is the case for me. We thought that this is a good topic to go into deeper, because we have the experience in person, now we want to put this on stage in dance and think about it as a concept.«

[Vasundhara] »This very vast concept of being a woman is so different in each place and especially for me, it doesn’t stop in a private sphere. You still have all these expectations and rules that you need to fulfil, even in your home, with your family. In India, there are so many cultural and societal expectations on women in comparison to men. I also grew up with a lot of restrictions, because it’s just unsafe to be in this country. I feel like it’s part of my artistic responsibility to showcase what my life is like, what my country is like — not to show it in a bad light, it’s not about saying one country is better than the other.«

»We finished our dance education together in September. We were in the same class and through dance you get to know a person so intensely. We feel connected and for us it was a given to apply for the residency at ada studio together. Creating art becomes so much easier when also being friends. We have a weekly plan of what we’re going to do, what we’re going to work on and how. We just came in on the first day and took out this paper. It was really easy to step into this process of working in the studio. We’re progressing quite fast right now. We are trained, we have choreographic tools, improvisation tools and of course, when you just graduated, you use them. The education has played a big part in this process. We are trained to move and think in a certain way. It’s quite exciting to be alone in the studio.« @hannahheyde_ & @vsndhras_8

»During my research I will use Maggie Nelsons concept of „weak theory“ as guiding light: “Weak theory does not set forth a new linguistic or conceptual register (…). It is undisturbed by inconclusiveness and mess. It takes its time as well as the risk of appearing “weak” in an environment that privileges muscle and consensus, not to mention one in which concepts such as “uncertainty” and “empathy” are regularly ridiculed (…).” (Maggie Nelson “On Freedom – Four Songs of Care and Constraint”/2021)« @maika_johanna

»In my residency I will revisit my graduation piece from 2013 and I will focus on two materials: text; my thoughts on those labels of care taking and second dish sets/porcelain and the handling of this fragile material. Arranging the dishes into a still life in constant danger of collapse, I want the emerging porcelain structure to reflect my experiences as a care giver. This arranging of space and time in tender gestures and radical thinking about care giving will hopefully culminate in a shared experience with the care takers in the audience. A possible cleansing and shedding of all our responsibilities for a given time.« @maika_johanna

»When I did my graduation piece, I was seven months pregnant and about to transition into motherhood. My research focus at DasArts was concepts of care. That was before “care” as a concept was a very popular discourse in the performing arts. But more importantly it was before I had been taking care of anyone. Never wiped a butt, fed someone from my one body, clothed, bathed, read to, cleaned up after, sang to, dropped off, picked up, comforted, scolded, and hugged good night. So let me talk about care, now that I actually care.« @maika_johanna

MAKISIG AKIN & ANA LIBÓRIO // »Give me your Heart, no, the real one.« // NAH DRAN extended: Looking After // curated by Maya Weinberg and Roni Katz // rehearsal // work in process

»This is a love centered survival practice. The work is developed in the midst of grieving the loss we have been experiencing born from the pandemic and this forced distance we had and the extreme closeness that put a crack into the structures we thought were working but were not. Grieving is a communal act. How can our differences support our togetherness? We practice breaking softly, with care and with a particular attention to the preciousness of what has occurred here and honoring that? Let’s bring love in the way we break. Let’s break softly together.« @makisigakin

SUNAYANA SHETTY & KATERINA DELAKOURA // »mother tongue« // NAH DRAN extended: Looking After // curated by Maya Weinberg and Roni Katz // rehearsal // work in process

»“mother tongue” is a work where we call out to our maternal bodies. The work examines different practices that invite the body to feel beyond the possessive skin bound body and open to be in a relational kin-bound body. While building an intuitive relation with what the body carries, we work with tracing our memories and finding our deep songs. One after the other following through the many waves, we are mothering and raising our inner processes. In “mother tongue” we are crafting networks of care, unfolding them through dances that celebrate the energy of the maternal.«

HASSAN DIB // »Are We Dead Yet?« // NAH DRAN extended: Looking After // curated by Maya Weinberg and Roni Katz // rehearsal // work in process

»“In “Are We Dead Yet?” Hassan Dib wants to explore death by looking at its meaning and importance in their personal life, their migration and family history, their memories of death of loved ones and the deaths that helped them to transition into their q***r identity.
Being q***r requires to let things die, things that were handed down for generations that no longer serve us. These deaths are what allows us to live and simultaneously what puts our lives in danger. The subject of death has always been present in Hassan’s previous work. “Are We Dead Yet?” is a reflection on how death has been present in their life, how it has traumatized them and how it still terrifies them.
Death has a tendency to show up uninvited. It catches us off guard through viral videos or devastating phone calls, it forces us to the streets in protest. It shows up in our work simply because we can’t avoid it. In this piece Hassan wants to give themselves a chance to face the topic of death on their own terms, they would like to invite death in and evoke questions like: Why do we fear death, and what happens to us when we accept it? What deaths have shaped us?«

NAH DRAN extended: beginnings // THIAGO ROSA & GARETH OKAN // rehearsals // work in process »"False Start" takes the pregame preamble and preparation of the sports world and puts it in the limelight. Transposing these moments from their original context and placing them in urban settings. Thiago Rosa and Gareth Okan employ the use of commentary to play with expectations and the absurdity of needing to have our attention at all times. The catalyst for the research was observing the power vacuum that occurred during the Covid-19 lockdowns as all major sports outlets stopped, thus allowing for the parody and fringe to take the central position. They want to look at the ways in which sports channels josel for as much of our attention as they can get. And it is here in the pre ramble that they wish to play. Over a youtube live stream Thiago and Gareth will broadcast a live interaction with themselves on film.« @garethokan The link to the video will be available on ada‘s website at the time the performance is going to start: Friday, July 3, 6pm and Sunday, July 5, 5pm NAH DRAN extended: beginnings // in cooperation with the Inter-University Centre for Dance Berlin (HZT) // 2 — 5 July 2020 // Please consider to purchase one of our .com(unity) tickets in support of our artists: simply paypal any amount to [email protected].

NAH DRAN extended: interconnected // GABRIELLA FORZELIUS / CAMILLA STRANDHAGEN / Baal & Mortimer // »HAVEN« // rehearsals // work in process »Between us lays a collective dreaming, that founds the ground for the building of a shared space — Haven, Zufluchtsort, is a ceremony for that place of longing, a way of coming together, a collective gaze towards the horizon. How do we dream together and how does this shared dream manifest? It has become a set of rituals for the ever moving, transforming processes of longing. Manifested through different materials: A dream catcher and our faces made into paper-marché, the process of dyeing with natural colours becoming a blanket, the resonance of sound to bone and of body to body. In the accumulated materials there layes an ongoing seeking. A practice of ongoingness. To let oneself get lost, and found again in a different form or identity. To connect to a non-linear time perception, where one minute feels like three hours and three hours feels like one minute. During these rituals the sense of who dreams what, fades out. Together we weave and collect with our bodies, sound, voices, hands and energy. A way of aligning our bodies and minds.« NAH DRAN extended: interconnected // June 6th at 8:30pm — June 7th at 11:59pm // curated by Roni Katz // artistic advice by Maya Weinberg // the event is streamed online on the website: ada-studio.de. // Please consider to purchase one of our .com(unity) tickets in support of our artists: simply paypal any amount to [email protected].

The facial expressions and gestures of sign language lead me and make me dance. My solo is the attempt to dance sign language, or to speak dance in sign language. Sign language and dance have a specific thing in common: both are forms of communication. In sign language as well as in dance, it is about conveying something to someone with expressive facial expressions and gestures – and all this without words. My work is also about the conflict between the current speed of life and the desire to slow down. I incorporate this aspect into my work because I have been thinking a lot about it. I am always in motion, I am always wide awake, I will do everything right, I will be strong, I will be perfect. – But for whom?

Using the metaphor of washing up onto a beach, the piece tracks the stages of this process. The floating (in the ocean), the dreaming (of the waves), the diving (onto shore), the struggle and self-doubt (of the sand), the conforming (to the air), the freedom and joy (of the messy wind) and the simultaneous yearning for the comfort of what was before (waves).« Dancing Through Times of Physical Distancing // Join the festival on https://apart-festival.blog // curated by Diethild Meier and Julek Kreutzer // to support our artists, feel free to PayPal any amount to [email protected] and get our symbolic .com(munity) ticket // Thank you!

A.PART FESTIVAL 2020 // works in process // JEANNE BINET // Home Residency // https://apart-festival.blog »In this context of sharing the course of our research, I might not speak too much about my work, but I may open my thoughts and offer my reflection through this blog format that is proposed to me. That could, indeed, change on the way. I might decide to separate in my posts these reflections from the works or works in progress I’ll post, so who wants to read can read, who wants to watch can just watch. If it feels more difficult to share my thoughts than my dance, I should as well try and go through this feeling of vulnerability that appears as I am about to share these words.« Jeanne Binet Dancing Through Times of Physical Distancing // Join the festival on https://apart-festival.blog // curated by Diethild Meier and Julek Kreutzer // to support our artists, feel free to PayPal any amount to [email protected] and get our symbolic .com(munity) ticket // Thank you! ____________________________________________________________________________ #apart #festival #blog #dance #berlin #students #alumni #digitalrealm #process #transparency #dialogue #idea #communication #support #research #sharingthoughts #reflection #vulnerability #dancingthroughtimesofphysicaldistancing

NAH DRAN extended: endings // VICTORIA MCCONNELL // »Playing Dead & Doing Time« // rehearsals // work in process »I think this shift is the hardest one to deal with. What I love about live performance and dance, moving in the same space as the viewer, is that you can create magic. There is a certain power in hearing the real breath, the proximity of the performer, where you can pull your viewers attention in through the simplest of actions. Now online or in film, this magic has to happen through other elements. Rodolfo and I joke that we started this process as dancers/choreographers but we will come out as film editors.« @indeliblevictoria in collaboration with Rodolfo Piazza Pfitscher da Silva @piazzarodolfo NAH DRAN extended: endings // April 25th from 8:30 til April 26th 23:59 // stream the full show on ada-studio.de // curated by Victoria McConnell // to get our symbolic .com(munity) tickets and support our artists, feel free to PayPal [email protected] _______________________________ #nahdran #onlineperformance #onlinevent #streaming #berlinevent #berlinonline #endings #dance #art #artist #reflection #process #homeresidency #rehearsal #magic #power #choreographers #collaboration

NAH DRAN extended: endings // VICTORIA MCCONNELL // »Playing Dead & Doing Time« // rehearsals // work in process »Our daily working flow is also a bit of a work in progress I would say and it is adjusting as we move into more and more film work. Generally though, we individually 'warmup' (in whatever way that is needed mentally or physically) from 10 and then we 'meet' at 11.00 for a video chat, sharing ideas, building and giving tasks to film for about 45 to an hour. Then we go off in our separate living rooms and work until the afternoon and later share videos. This week we did lots of outdoor filming and also mapped out a possible narrative/scene flow for the piece. So now we need to try it out and get as much material as possible. For me, creating in my bedroom or living room has really shifted my physicality. The theatrical scenes seem to be coming first and later movement material, which is usually the opposite of previous residency's. But I also like filmic aspect that using different spaces in my WG brings. I've been creating more 'film sets' for a certain tasks and playing with costumes more. Which is fun, it feeds my inner drama queen I think ;)« Victoria McConnell in collaboration with Rodolfo Piazza Pfitscher da Silva NAH DRAN extended: endings // April 25th & 26th at 8:30pm // curated by Victoria McConnell // stay tuned on where to stream the performance // to get our symbolic. .com(munity) tickets and support our artists, feel free to PayPal [email protected] ____________________________________________________________________________ #nahdran #onlineperformance #onlinevent #streaming #berlinevent #berlinonline #endings #dance #art #artist #reflection #process #homeresidency #rehearsal #filmwork #warmup #ideas #material #theatrical #movement #residency #creation #dramaqueen

NAH DRAN extended: endings // NICOLE MICHALLA // »In dialogue with myself« // rehearsals // work in process »Connected with the work I developed with Maria Torrents Soler about Memory, this one goes around the idea of no-endings. I place the body as a means connecting past, present and future and I ask myself where do we start and where do we end. It’s not about the body’s immortality, but about heritage and its continuation and transformation through our body into the future.« Nicolette Michalla NAH DRAN extended: endings // April 25th & 26th at 8:30pm // curated by Victoria McConnell @indeliblevictoria // stay tuned on where to stream the performance // to get our symbolic. .com(munity) tickets and support our artists, feel free to PayPal [email protected] ________________________________________ #nahdran #onlineperformance #onlinevent #streaming #berlinevent #berlinonline #endings #dance #art #artist #reflection #process #homeresidency #rehearsal #idea #noendings #body #past #present #future #start #end

COMING UP: reinkommen // BÁRBARA CONDE // open studio // rehearsals // work in process »I just wanted to do a Work where I was exploring my own body by bringing my own experience as research material, and create a distance between the body and myself as if it was a second presence so we could talk about our story together - how we learned each other and grow together. At this point, everything is still pretty new and fresh. I feel that I am still in a phase of discovering. Every time I find inspiration in my body from a new perspective. I try to be the most honest about what I look for, and once I find a momentum that I feel resonates with my vision I stick with it. Then I go deep on its exploration in order to see new ways of building, breaking and giving it new shapes as well as layering the material and mix it with other parallel discoveries to see what new Bárbara is created. For now, I am going with the process flow, I feel it is growing day by day and I don’t want my expectation to put any pressure on the work. Therefore I am just open, trusting and enjoying the research process.« Bárbara Conde sound & music: Barbara Conde and Sary Sehnaoui January 24th // 6pm at ada studio // free admission // limited seats // to reserve tickets send an email to ada-berlin[at]gmx.de // Reinkommen.

NAH DRAN extended // AABSHAAR WAKHLOO »This Evening’s Dance« // rehearsals // work in progress The artist on her piece: »The reason I called my piece »This Evening’s Dance« is because I feel like each time it is really THAT evening’s dance. I can go and rehearse it many times and I’ll have moments of complete frustration and the next time I feel like it’s great. But from the outside it’s always different. And that is what I like about it.
