After the guest performances of »Continu« by Sasha Waltz & Guests at the Israeli Opera in Tel Aviv, the three dancers Yael Schnell, Michal Mualem and Juan Kruz Diaz de Garaio Esnaola – all longterm collaborators of the company – gave two workshops for young performers in the north of Israel, hosted in Kfar Yassif by the Gsharim Dance Group and in Afula by the Tarbut School. These 3-day workshops from May 21st to 23rd were coordinated by dancer and dance teacher Elik Niv, who has been performing in different productions of Sasha Waltz in the past years.
About 40 artists from different artistic fields (dancers, musicians and actors) attended both workshops and experimented in different groups with various aspects of artistic creation; sharing body, space, time together, exchanging their thoughts and establishing strong relationships.
With these workshops in the frame of its »Education & Community«-program Sasha Waltz & Guests wishes to intensify already existing contacts and collaborations with active local artists and encourage artistic exchange and transmission of knowledge away from the cultural hotspots in the big cities.
After the classics »Travelogue I - Twenty to Eight« (2011, Palladium) and »Allee der Kosmonauten« (2018, Depot Schauspiel Köln), the musical-choreograhpic project »Jagden & Formen (Zustand 2008)« (2010, Philharmonie) and the choreographies »Métamorphoses« (2011) and »Sacre« (2014, both Oper Köln) the Cologne audience can look forward to performances of »Kreatur« by Sasha Waltz & Guests on June 16th and 17th at the Oper Köln.
Congratulations to the Kids of Sasha Waltz & Guests' Children's Dance Company: With their piece »Check out your mate«, directed by dancer and choreographer Gabriel Galindez Cruz, the group is represented in the final selection of this year's 6th Tanztreffen der Jugend in Berlin. The jury decided on 52 submitted productions, the total of six nominated pieces can be seen from September 20th to 29th 2019 at the Haus der Berliner Festspiele.
In »Check out your mate« opposites collide: black meets white and seems incompatible. The spectators observe an exciting match between two groups whose members are dueling themselves in dance. But the physical confrontation shows: By approaching each other, we get in contact to each other. Out of the rivalry, the result is a colorful, diverse and dynamic movement.
»Check out your mate« was developed in 2018, the 10 to 13-year-old dancers presented the piece for the first time at the showing in November 2018 at Berlin's Radialsystem.
The Children's Dance Company Berlin by Sasha Waltz & Guests is a project of Sasha Waltz & Guests / Education & Community in cooperation with Radialsystem Berlin.
