While others dance the way they feel I will again not be able to participate to one of my favourite Contemporary Dance- festivals for holiday reasons. But I hope that some of you guys might take the chance to visit one of the several performances, workshops and lectures that the Tanz im August Festival offers. So stretch yourself and make your stiff body ready for some ballet action and I will think of you while sitting in the sun. I promise. A trailer of the festival with some nice Berlin impressions after the jump.

What happens if you put some sexy Israelis in a rehearsel room with five Thai dancers. Some of them even being Ladyboys? Well, to me it sounds like an interesting gender-experiment! I hope that my expectations aren’t too high on the piece On Air from Nir de Volff this Friday. But since I liked most of Nir de Volffs choreographies I am sure that it will be a blast. Check it out for yourself if you’re interested in a crazy dance/theater performance with some eyecandys on the pie. Dates and more impressions after the jump.

There is theater that can be like a conversation. Intimate, mature, interesting and quite impossible without the dialogue partner. The piece I am going to recommend to you is all about that. A friend of mine who had the chance to visit the rehearsels told me: „It’s incredible! There is a pink human ball sitting in a bunch of ikeaballs, talking about love! You have to see. it“. Well I am sure that one or two of you might want to get a peek of it. Take your chance this weekend. Dates after the jump.

Dancing is about creating a space within and outside your body. With the perfect control of the movements and contractions you become enabled to create a world of textures, dimension and interaction with yourself and the others. The different perspective on the dimensions on space, time, light and eternity are the topics of the dance piece Flatland of the Dansgroep Amsterdam who are visiting Berlin on Sunday. More information after the jump.

I am happy to announce the premiere of one of my favourite modern dancers and choreographers. This Friday Jule Fierl and Sanja Tropp Frühwald will perform their dance-piece called Bones- a hommage to two grannies. In this artistic collaboration the two dancers create a surreal world inspired by Rene Magritte, a fragmented world that poses questions about the family , stereotypes of youth and aging and the construction of identity! More infos about the story and the dates after the jump.

Well, no family? Or are they living on the other site of the globe in some Venezualen village and practising some obscure Easter rituals and you can’t join them because the flight would cost you all your money you intended to use to party through the summer. Not so much into fetish and darkroom sex either? Well then you don’t have so many options to avoid the usual holiday-deppression then perhaps visiting this small but nice theater festival called Passion Week in Ballhaus Ost. During the Easter weekend the theater fills with artist from around the globe which will create an intense and sizzling atmosphere. Not every perfomance might be your favourite flavor but the combination of all the ideas and situations and a very moderate price are good reasons to join these days of Easter crazyness and passion. Details after the jump.

If you could put somebody on the cover of the young talented German theater scene it would most definetly be the Berlin-based director team Rimini-Protokoll. Since I’ve always been late to write something about them I will now announce the upcoming piece of one member of this interesting group. Stefan Kaegis’ new piece Heuschrecken (grasshopper) has a lot of sweet little monsters living on stage. His Ökutopia not only reproduces the human fear about closed systems but also shows the power of the will of survival of this horrofying species. Be sure that there will be more than just some shock-moments and be prepared for some seriuos thoughts about upcoming apocalypses. More pictures and informations after the jump.

There are some theater and dance companies that make me wish to have pursuit other career options. Since I am way too old to become a dancer I have to limit myself to watching their incredible perfomance and perhaps review them. One special company which is such a pain to watch because they are so incredibly good that you wish you could be on stage with them is the Costanza Macras ensemble Dorky Park. If you never heard of them and wish to experience my unbareable craving to be involved, they are playing their new piece Megalopolis this weekend at Schaubühne. More pictures, a trailer, a summary and details after the jump.

Peaches fans listen up! Next month your lady of load will show you a new side of her. After she finished her stomping world tour for her massive I Feel Cream album she is taking a step back from her electro-clash sounds. For her take on the cult musical Jesus Christ Superstar she will perform all the songs of said rock opera using only her voice with support by the genious that is Gonzales on the piano. You better get your tickets now this will be sold out in no time! Dates and a vintage Peaches vs. Gonzales video after the jump.
