URBAN ENCOUNTERS

Alexander Ehhalt

After experiencing the lock-down of cultural life, in LOST BODIES – URBAN ENCOUNTERS, dancers reinhabited diverse cultural locations in Heidelberg. From September 10 to 12, INTER-ACTIONS presented 27 short performances in three days. For this, the dancers Gabriele Ascani, Ismaël Belabid-Lenoir, Fran Martinez, Elvan Tekin, Jacqueline Trapp and TingAn Ying learned an improvisation method that directed their physical impulses to the environment and made each performance a unique experience. The audience had the opportunity to follow them and discover dance in places like Kunstverein Heidelberg, Völkerkundemuseum, Haus am Wehrsteg, Halle02, Fensterplatz, Breidenbach Studios and Karlstorbahnhof Heidelberg. Photographer Alexander Ehhalt accompanied the exciting process. Shortly after, the selection from over 1000 photos was presented on billboards throughout Heidelberg and within an outdoor exhibition at Haus am Wehrsteg.

On invitation of the tanz.tausch festival, INTER-ACTIONS is bringing LOST BODIES to Cologne.

Short solo performances lead the dancers to different places: they use a special improvisation method to capture impulses and moods. This creates a wide variety of moments: sometimes intense, sometimes poetic, sometimes playful and sometimes fast-paced – and always surprisingly new.

August 18, 19, 20 & 21 // 4, 5 & 6 pm: Rolandstraße (playground) and KAP686 Skateplaza Cologne.
