Cindy Hammer (Dresden)
MELANCHOLIC MARATHON
Performance: Cindy Hammer
Cindy Hammer presents excerpts from the 2023 solo performance "MELANCHOLIC MARATHON". An insight into the work on a multi-layered, elusive emotion. The 15-minute performance takes up the essential motifs of the state of melancholy, its diffuseness, being in-between and temporality. The beginning of the performance is dependent on the input of the audience. https://www.goplasticcompany.de/melancholic-marathon/

Karolin Stächele (Freiburg)
YOU HAVE NO IDEA!
A dance solo about powerlessness, shame, strength and resistance.
Choreography & artistic direction: Karolin Stächele
Dance & co-creation: Olivia Grassot
Music: Paul Tinsley
Sponsored by the Cultural Office of the City of Freiburg. With the kind support of bewegungs-art freiburg.
Climate change, species extinction, endangered democracies - the world is hurtling towards extinction, fear, melancholy and cynicism are spreading. And what about us? We read, we scroll, we instagram. We watch the world crumble and sink, shifting our responsibility onto others. We try to heal in ourselves what could only be healed outside in the world, if at all. We close ourselves off because we can't cope with the chaos and unspeakable brutality of the world anyway.
Karolin Stächele continues her multi-year research into apocalyptic discourse in a solo with dancer Olivia Grassot: the struggle of the inner state towards change is revealed in Grassot's dance in a constant crescendo of physical and atmospheric space between pause and rage, between germinating hope and gradual resistance. In close contact with the audience, she creates a danced statement, a partisanship for a common future.
Karolin Stächele (Germany) completed her training at bewegungs-art freiburg, the center for dance, improvisation and performance. She has been working as a freelance choreographer, dancer, performer and dance teacher since 2012 and has been creating full-length productions for various theaters and spaces as artistic director under the label DAGADA dance since 2014. She has shown her work nationally and internationally in Freiburg, Berlin, Leipzig, Cologne, Basel/Switzerland, Brest/France, Haarlem/Netherlands and Prague/Czech Republic, among others. In 2018, she received the Innovation Prize for Socioculture and the BKM Prize for Cultural Education for a project she artistically led with refugees. She is co-founder of tanznetzfreiburg and has been co-director of the education programs at bewegungs-art freiburg since September 2021. www.dagada.dance / image-trailer: https://vimeo.com/709528306

Maria Kobzeva (Frankfurt)
MAYBE WE'LL SEE
Choreography, artistic direction: Maria Kobzeva
Dance, creation: Sandra Domnick
“Maybe we'll see” explores the inner conflict between identity and social roles and poses the question of how everyday life affects our mental state. The piece describes the struggle to free oneself from monotonous routines, both physical and digital, and addresses the influence of external pressure and expectations. The performance explores how past experiences influence our decisions and ultimately asks whether we can really free ourselves from them.
Maria Kobzeva (choreographer/dancer/teacher) was born in St. Petersburg and studied at the Vaganova Ballet Academy. Upon graduation, she joined SPBT Theater touring worldwide with a broad classical repertoire. To expand her movement knowledge, she studied contemporary dance at Frankfurt’s University of Performing Arts, where she worked with various choreographers and co-created interdisciplinary projects. She received multiple scholarships and graduated with the Alix Steilberger Prize. Maria's choreographic practice includes solo, duo, and group pieces, as well as theater productions and film works. In 2019, she received the Audience Awards for two choreographies. She currently collaborates, creates, dances, and teaches in various contexts for different age groups and levels.
Sandra Domnick is a freelance dancer, choreographer and dance mediator. She graduated from the Academy of Performing Arts in Moscow with a ballet diploma and later from the HfMDK Frankfurt with a Bachelor of Arts.
