I Fablernas Värld - The World of the Fables

A baroque dance and music performance inspired by Jean de La Fontaine’s collection of fables.

Welcome to the world of the fables where different kinds of animals live side by side, all with their own quirks and characteristics. Meet the brave lion, the cunning fox and the nervous little cricket as they try to find their place in society. They discuss and reason, are deceived and argue about important and unimportant things – about who is the best at jumping, how the country should be governed and not least who will get the much sought after French cheese!

A baroque music and dance performance inspired by the 17th-century writer Jean de la Fontaine’s collection of fables. About power, democracy and making your voice heard despite being small.

Suitable for children 6-8 years old.
Performance length 40 min.

Darmstadt, Metropole der Landgrafschaft Hessen-Darmstadt, befand sich im zweiten und dritten Dezennium in seiner musika­lischen Blütezeit. Regiert von dem kunst­sinnigen Landgrafen Ernst-Ludwig von Hes­sen-Darmstadt, der selbst Kompositionen verfasste, war sein Hof kulturelles Zentrum und bot reichlich Anreize für Mäzenatentum. Dies erklärt die vermehrte Zueignung von Tanzkompositionen an das herrschende Adelsgeschlecht, zum Teil sogar auf Kompositionen des Landgrafen basierend.

Der Kurs vermittelt eine Zusammenstellung von Tänzen aus diversen Quellen, die von ihrem Titel auf Hessen-Darmstadt verweisen. Die Tänze, die sich in Charakter und Forma­tion deutlich unterscheiden, sorgen für ein abwechslungsreiches Kursrepertoire:

Pierre Dubreil 1718: La Hessoise d'armstatt, Dance nouvelle (à 2) und Contredanse

Olivier  ca. 1717/1718: La princesse de Darmstadt (à 2) – La Contredanse (à 10)

MS Durlach ca. 1724: La Darmstadt (danse à quatre) und Le Prince d'Augsberg (contredanse)

Dr. Carola Finkel wird dank Ihrer Expertise Informationen zum tanzgeschichtlichen Hintergrund beitragen.

 

 

The Court Dance Festival is an artistic event whose main goal is to present presentations related to the dance heritage of Krakow, Poland, Europe and even the whole world. The culture of court dances present in every country is a source of inspiration for creating spectacles and artistic performances reaching back to the tradition and practice preserved to this day. For many years, Krakow, through the Festival and its events, has become a world center of court dance bringing together individual artists, dance, music and theater groups, workshop participants as well as dance theoreticians and historians from various countries.

Ohne Tanz war das gesellschaftliche Leben Ende des 16. Jahrhunderts an den adligen Höfen der Medici, Gonzaga und d'Este nicht denkbar. Auch in den Bürgerhäusern der reichen Patrizier in Rom, Venedig und anderen Städten spielte er eine bedeutende Rolle. Auf Bällen, Hochzeiten und privaten Abendgesellschaften wurden nicht nur Tanzkönnen, sondern auch geschliffene Umgangsformen unter Beweis gestellt. Wir widmen uns Choreografien von Fabritio Caroso, die tänzerische Eleganz und exquisite Höflichkeit vereinen.

Tänzerische Vorkenntnisse und paarweise Anmeldung sind nicht erforderlich.
Bitte mitbringen: Tanzschuhe mit flexibler Sohle, flach oder mit max. 3 cm hohem Absatz (keine Straßenschuhe) und Trainingskleidung.

Kurszeiten: Sa/So 10:00-14:30 Uhr (inkl. 30 Min. Pause)

We are excited to invite you to join us for a special workshop in Berlin in August 2023 that focuses on Physical Action in Performance Making.

 

Topic: Physical Action in Performance Making

August 11-13, 2023

Berlin, Germany

 

Who is this program for?

The workshop is open to practising directors of the Physical Theatre, Drama Theatre, Musical Theatre, Choreographers and Circus Directors, working in various genres, techniques, and styles, as well as actors and dancers, interested to acquire reliable director's toolkit to create contemporary professional productions. The in-class session is designed for strong, hardy, disciplined professionals and pre-professionals who are ready to participate from the beginning to the end.

 

What you will be able to learn:

how to build up images and characters playing with the physical language of movement, relationships with space and partners;

 

how to connect isolated elements into the whole performance fragments;

 

how to unfold the actor’s creative nature and freedom in improvisation and spontaneity in the rehearsal process and the training.

 

This workshop is a simple way that can help you formulate your personal unique approach to work with actors and dancers on performance production, through the intensive practical training based on the Ostrenko Brothers Method of performer's physical training and rehearsal.

 

Students will be introduced to Meyerhold's "Biomechanics", M.Chekhov's "Psychological Gesture" and Stanislavsky's "Physical Action", with experienced professional practitioners, experts in performing arts pedagogy, directing and practice in multicultural groups and multidisciplinary projects - Ostrenko Brothers.

 

Ostrenko Brothers Method

The program will also introduce the Ostrenko Brothers' Method, a widely recognized approach to performance that generates innovative productions by utilizing concepts, ideas, and existing play-texts. The method offers the tools and support necessary for performers to reach their full potential.

 

How is the studying going?

Through a 3-day lab of practical exploration, participants can learn techniques that will help them to add psychological tension, enrich physicality and breathe life into their performances.

 

Format:

The working language of the program is English. The training is designed as a multidisciplinary intensive lab with participation and practice together with performers from different techniques and countries. Multidisciplinarity and multiculturality are one of the most important principles of our programs. The number of participants is limited. Participation by early booking only.
