I N T R O D U C I N G // studio writer ANUYA RANE on writing:

»I have never wanted to comment on other people's work. Since I am a creator myself, I take the responsibility that comes with a job like this very seriously. A journalist's approach would probably be very different from mine, as I always also take into account all the work that was put into a performance, before I get to see it. I try to see that people work very differently and I will always respect their work, even if it has an outcome that I do not like or consider unsatisfying. I didn't have any formal experience in writing on dance until I came across the Schreibwerkstatt from last year's A.PART Festival, that Johanna and Alex organised. It's rare that one talks about and discusses methods of creative writing. My officially certified knowledge of the German language is of five months of learning. The rest being through speaking and hearing and not actually from writing. So now that I had to write, I wasn't sure about how it would turn out. But, being multi-lingual, I again realised that language is culture, language is feeling, language is your intellect, language is sensation. And the most important thing is that you have the content and the desire to express — and you will find the words. Your words.« @_anuyarane_

I N T R O D U C I N G // studio writer ANUYA RANE on her story with ada Studio:

»Thinking of my first encounter with ada studio takes me back to my arrival in Berlin, in 2007. I attended a body-mind centering workshop at ada studio, when it was still located at Schönhauser Allee. It’s actually the very first place I got to know in Berlin, even before Uferstudios, HAU, and so on. It was my first encounter with dance and art in Berlin. So it’s beautiful to join the team now, 13 years later. Life always comes full circle. When Gabi asked me to be the next studio writer, I was touched by it. Since I come from a very different culture, my point of view is very different and it’s important to have different perspectives. Art is all about perspectives. And writing about performances is a work in itself. Maybe we shouldn’t see the writings as a critique but that it adds to the performance.« @_anuyarane_

I N T R O D U C I N G // studio writer ANUYA RANE

»My name is Anuya Rane and I am from Mumbai. I have been living in Europe since 2004 and I am a dancer/performer. I have a bachelors and masters degree in performing arts, specialising in Indian classical dance. I have always wanted to dance, always wanted to be on stage, in front of the camera... Although I keep shifting, experimenting with diverse forms of movement I would like to continue with my classical Indian dance. Berlin/Germany, unfortunately is not really a place for it. I always felt that people are not taking it seriously. I think we tend to intellectualise things from our own perspective, our own understanding and often limit ourselves rather than be open and curious. Living in Europe, I have realised that Indian classical dance (add to that Bollywood), belly dancing, African dance, ... they are all put into the same basket. For me, being a performer, I want to acknowledge and recognise that every dance form is very different, with its own backstory, history and development. And I want people to see that. Berlin's characteristically hybrid dance scene is very much focused on modern, contemporary trends. When I do get to perform, people tend to see it as this exotic dance form with beautiful costumes and make-up however, they are very interested and impressed by it and want to see more of it, learn more about it. So since I have an access to the contemporary dance world too, it is my goal to educate people and make them see more of the ideology and methodology, not to forget the cultural heritage behind classical Indian dance forms. It's beautiful to educate people about art, through art.« @_anuyarane_

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

»Liisi Hint’s and Maria Ladopoulos’ research involved writing over 140 emails to people (from dancers to painters to neuroscientists to lawyers) asking about their thoughts on beginning(s).

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?

Introducing two artists out of sixteen: CLARA DÜNNEBEIL creating »EinBlick« »With my solo ‘EinBlick’, I provide an insight into the search for one’s place in the world and also into the doubts and helplessness one encounters. A place where you like to stay and feel at home is what we are probably all looking for. I literally set myself up on stage because, in my future as a dancer, this will be my professional ‘living room’.« LAUREN FITZGERALD creating »Like they were laughing« »My solo ‘Like they were laughing’ looks at the experience of following one’s desires and dreams into a new world/ career/ place, more specifically, my personal experience of leaving a technical career behind to focus on dance. 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. So let’s see what happens next weekend!« Aabshaar Wakhloo NAH DRAN extended: toolbox — curated by Lee Méir // April 27th & 28th at 8:30pm // to reserve tickets send an email to ada-berlin[at]gmx.de // _________________________________________________ #nahdran #festival #dance #berlin #berlinevent #adastudio #performance #rehearsals #odissidance #contemporarydance #space #support #uferstudios #nextweekend #toolbox #getyourtickets
