CHOREOGRAPHY AND PERFORMANCE Liselotte Singer & Marc Philipp Gabriel

Weil wir uns gerne haben.
From dance into combat, we play with triggers of different forms of excitement (intimacy, grace, exaltation, fever, violence) that we get caught in and transmit out. As a movement entity we are in a relationship of constant negotiation on physical and social levels. We touch.
Allora ragazzi, are you ready to see those results ?

SHAVE THAT GUMMI (VIDEO DOCUMENTATION)

shavethatgummi_144p

Video documentation of the first showing and after talk, recorded at Con Cowan theatre, Johannesburg, 20 FEB 2016:

SHAVE THAT GUMMI is an international choreographic research that unleashes between innumerable poles of difference.

How can we breathe under all the highly charged misconceptions that have been cast onto us in past and present times? Coming from two different continents, we are still chewing on the same piece of gum. F*ck. Being labelled before birth, we strive to move away from preconceived identities, longing for situations that are re-negotiated in every moment. Two bodies flying through their extremities, slurping, spitting, slicing, deflecting and avoiding one another – breathing in as two and exhaling as one.

SHAVE THAT GUMMI is a dance performance duet moving between ornamenting and defacing the human body as an object. A precarious duet of counter-colonialization. A dual player game, a pas-de-deux, a dog fight, a futuristic binary. Two opposites migrating into each other’s territories. SHAVE THAT GUMMI is pulling the audience into a game of projections, stripping multiple layers of conformity off the performing body.

SPACE AGENCY

space agency

Voice training for SPACE AGENCY by Fleur Khani

“Space Agency is a choreographic piece for a choir. The performers activate the space around them through text and music. The audience is absorbed in the displacements in the space and the descriptions of houses, rooms, walls, objects, odours, colours, sensations … These spaces of daydreams become lucid through singing, rhythm and continuous spinal movements, until the language starts loosing its meaning and the concrete spaces liquefy again.”… read more

Linhas Imponderáveis

Arte de representar na pele a configuração de um espaço interno com todos os seus acidentes.O corpo enquanto hospedeiro do caos, onde habita? O fenómeno da assimilação/apropriação involuntária das acções envolventes e a observação do processo de gestação das mesmas.

Um trabalho da Rita Vilhena e Raquel Mendes em colaboração com Marc P. Gabriel.

every one everyone

 

Every One Everyone began as a personal process of exploration, a series of studio meetings with people joining me in an experiment: receiving a physical impulse from my body, allowing themselves to be swayed in their perceived craniosacral rhythm. With always more then two people present in each studio encounter, participants were than asked to map their sensation both as observers and performers, leaving traces in varied forms – writing, drawing, speaking, moving etc.

ZELTEN

Zelten

26 + 27 OCT 2013 // with Jenni Ramsperger / HZT Berlin / @ Uferstudios Studio 14

 

Tanz: Simone Detig, Parwanhe Frei, Susanne Mayer und Annegret Schalke
Musikdramaturgie: Marc P. Gabriel
Produktionsassistenz: Paula Führer
Choreografie: Jenni Ramsperger

Zelten bedeutet unterwegs sein und draußen wohnen, seine Heringe in den Boden stechen, sein Lager im Freien aufschlagen und den Standort jederzeit wechseln zu können. Es bedeutet, sich, das Zelt und die eigene Position in die einen umgebende und sich verändernde Natur einzugliedern. Es bedeutet, das Zuhause unter freiem Himmel zu finden, komme was wolle. 

Die Arbeit Zelten ist eine Reise in die Erinnerungen unserer deutschen Kindheit.

Wo stehen wir zwischen den Stimmen unserer Eltern, den Spuren unserer Großeltern und unserer Realität, als die in den 80ern geborene Generation Y? Generation Why.

Welche Relevanz haben die Begriffe Heimat, Zugehörigkeit und Verortung für uns? Was ist es, das bleibt, wenn wir weggehen? Was kommt? Und was kommt mit uns, wenn wir weggehen?

 

Sie sagten, sie wollten Löwen bändigen gehen, als sie aus Germanien loszogen. Nahe am Herzen, in der Tasche ihres ledernen Brustbeutels, trugen die vier Gefährtinnen Bilder ihrer Heimat: den Christbaum mit echten Bienenwachskerzen, die pädagogisch wertvolle Gute-Nacht-Geschichte, den „Schützt den Regenwald“-Sticker, den letzten Kuchenkrümel und Gedanken an die gerechte Aufteilung sämtlicher Leckereien.

In den Ohren Erinnerungen an den Gesangsverein, an das ordentliche Einkehren nach den Sonntagsfahrten mit Oma und Opa, der exotische Beigeschmack der multikulturellen Patchworkfamilie und die richtige Sitzordnung beim Abendbrot.

Und auf dem Gaumen die Pommes rot-weiß aus dem Freibad und die dazu eingeprägte Melodie einer Sommerwerbung.

AUSUFERN

Gabriel M. Philipps / Marc Philipp Gabriel: SMLXL – Uferfenster
Installation

Why is this place called Uferstudios and what does AUSUFERN mean?
Why can I not see through walls?
What if I could? And if I can, what do I see behind?

Come and see through the walls of Uferstudios! Discover the beautiful riverbanks and meadows of Wedding and observe the local pets’ daily dance routine!

This durational installation is located under the porch roof left of the grand chimney at the very back of the yard.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////

“Thinking about the frame for this installation, the AUSUFERN festival, which takes the German term Ufer (riverbank) further, I have detected a complete lack of perceivability of the actual riverbank that runs along the site of Uferstudios: from the public courtyard there is no view of the river at all. Only the growing vegetation that overhangs the buildings from behind speak of the notion of close-by nature. My proposal is now to bring the frame, i.e. the river that is name- and border-giving for the site, inside, into the courtyard. In a simple set-up a camera that is attached to the back of the buildings at the river will capture the water stream and the opposite riverbank (Ufer). The image is projected live on the inside of Uferstudios, like a digital window from the courtyard to the riverbank. The projection could be placed on the same place on the wall as the camera is attached on the other side of the wall; but there could also be a subtle shift or a distance of hundreds of metes between the two. For the observer it would be hard to tell if what he sees on the projection is really what he would see through a window. Also angle, focus, colour and distortion of the camera and projector will be filters between the subject and what is staged. There could be a time gap established between video and projection, technically determined or intentionally applied. The wall that is projected on will not be neutrally white but with uneven spots and wearing of paint, distorting the image that is projected. All these uncertainties between the rather unspectacular subject (the riverbank) and the final set-up are an invitation to sharpen one’s perception, look closely and rethink first-moment impulses rather than taking for granted what one is made to see or believe.” MPG

Warum heißt das hier Uferstudios und wer oder was soll AUSUFERN?
Warum kann ich nicht durch Wände sehen?

MOVE OP: HYMNEN

Eine performative Arbeit zur Frage der Nationsbil

dung (D) Festival-Event
– MOVE OP – Festival für europäisches Musiktheater unter prekären Bedingungen

Die Studenten des Studiengangs Tanz, Kontext, Choreografie des HZT Berlin widmen sich in einer performativer Arbeit der Frage, wie wir in einem Raum aus
vielen Nationen mit vielen Individuen koexistieren können. Grundlage dafür bildet ein akustischer Portrait: die Komposition HYMNEN (1966-67) von Karlheinz Stockhausen. Mit HYMNEN versuchte er viele Nationalhymnen zu einem Werk zu vereinen mit dem Ziel, „.. die Einheit der Völker und Nationen in einer harmonischen Menschenfamilie als musikalische Vision erlebbar zu machen”. Aber wie portraitieren wir heute die Welt, in der wir leben (möchten)? Und wer sind WIR?

Im goldenen Saal des Heimathafen Neukölln werden die Karten der Nationsbildung neu gemischt. Neue Gemeinschaften werden angekündigt. Eigentum und Territorium werden verabschiedet oder neu besiedelt. Werden wir je unsere Nachbarn wählen können? Und gibt es eine gemeinschaftsschaffende Musik ohne Nostalgie?

ANALOG VOIDS

ANALOG VOIDS / Photo: AnniTracy.com

 

“A duet about inner instability, bodily hope and sound reoccurrence.”

Analog Voids is an unstable duet for two bodies and their voices. The voices are captured by a vintage REVOX tape recorder and looped unevenly: with each round of the tape, the original sounds are distorted a little more, drifting further away from their original sonic environment. The work is inspired by Alvin Lucier’s experiments with analog sound recording, medieval religious psalms and personal episodes of mental instability.

Two men inhabit a place of vacuity, an unsteady system. Along the piece, their interaction develops: they shift from being bodies, to being atoms, to being people. What they share is a fundamental uncertainty within their bodies. This uncertainty and lack of stability generates rattling variables and shaking tension at exactly those places inside all of us that are so apprehensively empty – bereft of stable meaning. The piece reaches for the voice, both produced by and constantly escaping the body. Body and voice: these two things anchor each of us on the planet.

Analog Voids confronts the unsettling grounds of human existence. While we shiver on the edge with one’s heart in one’s mouth.
