Expression of the Self

Cross Boarders Arts Improvisation 

#artisessential


We all need the freedom to express.
 A stable ground under our feet… 
A free vision to see…
A fearless body to move & dance… 
A free voice to speak & sing…

To express your SELF – apart from all conditioning, all perfection, all measures from the outside!

Its only oneself who can decide to take of these layers, to see the beauty, to show up & to be seen.

BEHIND THE DOORS

Site Specific Performance Installation – dance, theatre, vertical rope & sound-installations – about Solitude  Three women, three worlds, three ways.

Solitude has got divers aspects – positiv, negativ, physical and mental. They can combine into antithetic forms of solitude. A glance behind doors that we normally do not open, that we are not allowed to open. A glance behind doors that veil solitude and loneliness. A gentle collision of worlds.

Concept, Costume, Dance, Director – Karen Rémy, Theatre – Johanna Malchow, Vertical Rope Artistry – Josefine Rheinfurt, Composition – Stefan Weihrauch, Assistent – Jacek Klinke – @ Spoffin Festival, Amersfort & Klußer Kulturmühle, Wismar – AIM (aradona) 2011
