I was making my way home when I found two groups of people dining in the street. Photographs.
Leave a CommentFrivolous not as in pointless, but frivolous as in the écume des jours (Froth of Days) of Boris Vian.
Leave a CommentThe Love Piece is one of the more unique pieces in the 2009 ImPulsTanz festival: it is entirely experiential and completely different every time it is played and for every participant.
The creators and cast of The Love Piece provide an environment and a context and the rest is up to you.

The Love Piece: Where it all happens
The experience for the most part is positive, but as I wrote the quality of your experience depends mainly on you and what you bring to that evening.
Here’s what the program says about the piece. This much is public knowledge:
The Love Piece unfolds along a loose score that can described as: there as many audience members as performers. As they come in, audience members are each taken by the ahand by a performer, who for the duration of the show ‘give love’ to his/her audience. What such a love can be, is the stake of the piece. Love songs are playing the whole time.
There are just 10 performers – so very few people had the opportunity to experience The Love Piece. I was one of that fortunate 100 and will reveal the details to you about my own visit.

Transformers is far from the dullest show among this year’s performances. There is movement, there is emotion, there is excitement, there is a point.

Leave a CommentTen minutes of compelling dance and ten minutes of dull rehearsal and ten minutes of rather mediocre film.
Leave a CommentAs a reflection on time and mortality, this restaging of Rosas danst Rosas provokes enough to leave no regrets.
