DIVE – a celebration

a Dance piece by Anna Konjetzky

The body is a political venue: the body symbolizes power, impotence, status and affiliation. With or via our bodies, we create our own social and cultural identities – just like we apply them to other people. Individuals are classified into groups, societies divided into segments. Homogenous spaces emerge that exclude the other while leaving individuals in the infinite cycle of peer groups and filter bubbles. DIVE is located in this field of tension between making difference visible and practicing community; it also develops identity as a permanent construction and deconstruction of overlapping and parallel events as well as self and foreign attribution. Individual protagonists’ perceptions and evaluations wander, shift and become a costume or a skin that cannot be cast off. Together with the seven dancers, Anna Konjetzky samples, mixes and scratches stereotypes and identities choreographically, musically and linguistically until a new collective beat emerges. DIVE celebrates heterogeneity and addresses questions of a commonality that is not based on similarity but rather exists despite – or precisely because of – differences.

This dance evening in English is created by a mixed crew of dancers from South Africa and Germany.

WE ARE HERE

A Dance piece by Anna Konjetzky

In her new piece, a world premiere for the Saarland Staatsballet, Anna Konjetzky deals with the concept and feeling of imminent danger. A game of perception, an interplay of music and dance and how they shift against each other – and it is a game of movement and motionlessness. It is also about getting closer, which is perceived as a danger.

UNSTABLE

a dance theatre piece by Anna Konjetzky

The starting point for Anne Konjetzky’s dance theatre piece UNSTABLE is the question of how we deal with insecurity, but also what groundlessness means to us and what opportunity can lie in instability. Developed in collaboration with the ensemble of the Tanztheater Braunschweig, the choreographer deals with the state of imbalance: What does it feel like when you have lost your balance – or is it not yourself at all, but the world around you that has gone out of balance?

Choreography: Anna Konjetzky // Stage: Hannes Hartmann, Leonie Mohr // Music: Sergej Maingardt // Dramaturgy: Stefanie Fischer // Audience Development: Julia Honer // With: Alice Baccile, Brendon Feeney, Joshua Haines, Ursina Mathéus, Brigitte Uray

The very moment

A dance piece by Anna Konjetzky

The new dance piece by Munich choreographer Anna Konjetzky stages fragile and inefficient bodies and thematises our social interaction with them. As if in a game, five dancers compete against each other. They test their limits, work against muscle cramps, struggle with losing their balance, get out of step, fall, give up and start again. Inspired by youtube videos depicting stumbling drunks and weakened marathon runners, the ensemble takes the subject of falling out of context, while analysing and commenting on ist own physical progress.

The piece is in english with German subtitels (or other language).

World premiere 07.10.2018, Kösk Munich

MOVE MORE MORPH IT!

Dance Performance

Who, how and what can I be? This question is being asked by Munich choreographer Anna Konjetzky in her new piece. A body produces its own soundtrack for a journey across various identities, self-conceptions and fantastical characters. The sounds evolvingreveal the movement in a different light and make the situations change unexpectedly. The images, moods, and super powers, drawn from individual or collective memory, are playfully layered and recombined. Through big effects and subtle notes, perception is fooled and the curiosity towards a creative way of handling attributions is triggered.

A 30-minute dance performance for theatres, galleries, foyers, schools and many other spaces, with the possibility of subsequent discussions, mini or maxi workshops on dance and music (e.g. live scoring of movement, foley artist).

about a session

a dance piece by Anna Konjetzky

The term session means a meeting that is limited in time. Borders and rules are established, stretched or repealed in order to make new experiences and knowledge possible. The new piece by the choreographer Anna Konjetzky, who resides in Munich, addresses the about – and sessions as such. Being distant and being involved are not a contradiction. ABOUT A SESSION melds sensual experience and analysis, and is thus an act of contemplation about and with bodies. Can reflecting on or discussing arousal actually arouse? Can it stimulate the audience’s sexual fantasies? In the audience’s minds, a number of images of desire overlap in the contradiction or the doubling of word and image. In thinking about and with the body, analysis and sensual experience intertwine.

ABOUT A SESSION takes place in English.
