TANZANWEISUNGEN It won't be like this forever (GERMANY)

Choreographer Moritz Ostruschnjak's latest work, TANZANWEISUNGEN captivates with its self-reflective and ironic references that defy any specific definition. Against the backdrop of new Corona guidelines, dancer Daniel Conant performs a thirty-minute solo, seamlessly blending Schuhplattler, grand jeté, boxing footwork, break dance, and jump rope, all underscored by a pulsating rhythm. Ostruschnjak's eclectic style defies categorisation, offering a diverse narrative by assuming poses of resistance, combat and victory, stylized masculinity, youth culture, classic ballet, ballroom dancing and sports in rapid succession. The piece culminates with DAF's provocative "Der Mussolini”, a literal dance instruction.

Attakkalari Centre for Movement Arts will be hosting Copy&Paste – Cut&Mix, a movement workshop by Moritz Ostruschnjak on 18, 19 & 20 March. For more information please contact us at +91 8904416003.

This event is supported by the Bavarian State Association for Contemporary Dance (BLZT) with funds from the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts.

MORE INFORMATION

A slim person, a caricature of himself wearing a baseball cap, mustard yellow T-shirt and bright red boxer shorts, pumps himself up onto a podium surrounded by fluorescent gas tubes, into a triumphant victory pose (...) and begins to dance, hitting changing, increasingly complex rhythmic beats on his chest, stomach and Thighs, stomps with sneaker-shoeed feet, jumps and turns like a chessboard defi. (…) For a whopping 15 minutes, Conant exerts himself in acrobatic body contortions, dribbles like Muhammed Ali, and demonstrates a variety of tricky ballet steps and poses. He demonstrates ballet as physical exercise, something that dancers have been practicing at home since the crisis for the day when everything they can once again merge into visible art.
