Performing my 3rd last show of #Joujouville by Samir Akika tomorrow night in rainy but lush #Bremen with the state theater dance company Unusual Symptoms.

It's been a great time! This time staying in a fabulous gay-ish art place called #Drops, apartment containing an absolute feast of design items, art and style props in a bare-naked old house apartment. Like sleeping in an art gallery. What a nice life. I'll miss doing music for dance, a lot.

‘It’s mind-blowing for me’: Boris Charmatz on leading Pina Bausch’s Tanztheater Wuppertal

The French choreographer took over Bausch’s dance company in 2022. He never met his hero, but explains how their histories have entwined

The Guardian

Something that helped me to process a #divorce and then later to transition into #LongCovid and #disability life is a #dance / #theatre performance I saw in 2016. I mention this because it is streaming on Marquee:

It's about trauma and grief, so use your judgement. But even now i exhale so much tension when I remember that second half, how the giant pillar is still there on stage.

Betroffenheit

Crystal Pite and Jonathon Young's Olivier winning BETROFFENHEIT is a bold hybrid of theater and dance that explores trauma, grief and addiction.

Went to Wuppertal last night, to see another piece of Pina Bausch #Dancetheatre. Kontakthof is a piece about the relationship between man and woman, it was a touching piece. And met a lovely couple from Scotland, who traveled all the way to Germany to see this performance ❤️
