Entrance


Photography


TÄNZER


Vanessa Ossa (Bochum)


›Tänzer‹ is made up of 63 photographs. In contrast to conventional dance photography which, through its primary focus on the virtuosity of individual dance poses or on the atmosphere of a certain production, allows the dancer as a person to vanish behind the dance, Vanessa Ossa's work concentrates on the dancers themselves, on their emotions and personalities.



Small Stage


Sound Installation


TROMMELFELD


Hubert Steins (Köln)


The installation Trommelfeld consists of four frame drums that are suspended from the ceiling and activated by low frequency, barely audible signals transmitted from loudspeakers placed beneath them. The sound sensations vary within the installation. Frequencies that in certain positions can barely be heard give rise in other positions to volume levels that are almost physically palpable. These dynamic variations within the installation can be additionally influenced by setting the drums in motion.

THIRTEEN INCIDENTS OF INDOLENCE (35 min)

In her text and movement solo, Thirteen Instances of Indolence, Ami Garmon plays with the fears and secret hopes that gather at the edge of our consciousness and enter uninvited.

Sound/set composition: Norman Thörel


Cello/performance: Augustin Maurs


Production: Elena Polzer

Butoh & Video


NUIT (22 min)


Nuit presented in the style of Japanese butoh dance pays tribute to Film Noir, the Russian dancer and choreographer, Nijinsky, and to Hijikata, one of the founders of the butoh movement. Concentrating on the moment in present, on all the senses and the essential meaning of the smallest movement, Celeste Hastings' work broaches themes including destruction, rebirth and the paradox of serenity within chaos.
In addition to original film footage and calligraphy by Celeste Hastings, the video includes excerpts from the film A Portrait of Jenny (1948) by William Dieterle.


Choreography, costume, soundscape, video and performance: Celeste Hastings (New York)



Main Stage Part II


Performance


A HUMAN BEATBOX (15 min)


Jakob Kilzer


Beatboxing is the vocal percussion of Hip Hop culture and music. It is primarily concerned with the art of creating beats, rhythms, and melodies using the mouth and can also involve singing, vocal scratching (the imitation of turntable skills), the simulation of horns, strings, and other musical instruments, and the replication of a vast array of sound effects. Stars of the Hip Hop scene are masters in elaborate tounge and breathing techniques which enable them to simulate several instruments simultaeneously and deliver complete Hip Hop tracks solo.


Work-in-progress


UNTITLED (25 min)


Manon Santkin / Leslie Mannès (Brussels)


Manon Santkin and Leslie Mannès are currently in residency at PACT. In their new and as yet untitled project, they are looking into issues of representation, copying, cloning, individuality and - what they call "the paradox of a copied singularity". One of their focuses is on clothes: Bodies inside clothes, clothes around bodies, clothes as bodies, bodies as fabric and material.
