Many facets become visible in the almost 40 portraits of Bremen’s dance practitioners, which were commissioned by the Landesverband TanzSzene Bremen and captured by photographer Marianne Menke.
While looking for a photo setting, Marianne Menke came to the Tanzfilminstitut: together with Heide-Marie Härtel, she developed the idea of using the photo setting at the institute as a backdrop for a personal interview with the respective artist. Together with existing film material from the Dance Film Institute’s archive and supplemented by current film footage from the ballet schools and dance studios as well as rehearsals in progress, the informative series of short portraits was created: “moving faces” show the protagonists in their professional environment.
The result is 36 video clips of about three minutes, which reflect the high level of professionalism, the artistic diversity and the whole range of creative work of dance artists who come to Bremen from all over the world.
The series of short portraits shows the protagonists in their professional environment.
The film clips were realised by the team of the German Dance Film Institute and Médoune Seck.
The video portraits of the participating artists will be online on the homepage of the Landesverband TanzSzene Bremen from 12.12.2021 and can be accessed there under “TanzSzene“.
The team of the German Dance Film Institute Bremen would like to thank all participants for their creative collaboration.

The team of the German Dance Film Institute Bremen is especially pleased to document the gala on film this year.
“The aims of the funding in the NEUSTART KULTUR programme are the development of innovative choreographic/artistic formats and the testing of new recording and production formats – e.g. working with body cams. e.g. working with body cams, 3D and 360° recording techniques, VR and AR applications, streaming and video-on-demand productions, format development for social networks and gaming.” Dachverband Tanz Deutschland

Making Ofs of the German Dance Film Institute Bremen as part of the project
.
<
Working with digital media has become an absolute reality in the dance field. However, it is more a component of internal work processes than a topic with social and aesthetic weight in the productions. Choreographers use new technologies in a light-hearted and practical way to support the production process or as a visual tool as part of the production, often in the area of set design.
The use of digital media has become an absolute reality in the dance field.
The project “tanz:digital” by the umbrella organisation Tanz Deutschland is dedicated to the issue that goes beyond this: what happens when dance and digital technology come together in an equal dialogue for a result that is not even necessarily connected to a stage, but perhaps can only be received on the worldwide Internet? For this, 14 individual productions have been selected that encompass a whole range of altered modes of production and reception.
The German Dance Film Institute Bremen has set itself the task of building a bridge between the motivation of the realising artists and the focused circle of users. In concrete terms, this means that “making-ofs” will be created for about 10 individual projects, preparing potential users, whether they are tech-savvy or not, for what to expect if they want to entrust themselves to one of the many new offerings.
The Making Ofs will accompany the highly unique production process of the selected projects on one day of shooting each, thus making the choice of technical, aesthetic, possibly also pedagogical means accessible to a wide audience in a film of about 10 minutes each. Interviews with the artistic directors and other project participants complement the film report.

DANAMOS. dance art native motion system. By Martin Puttke |
Dreharbeiten | Martin Puttke und Dt. Tanzfilminstitu Bremen | Darmstadt, TU Departement of Human Sciences, Locomotion Laboratory | D | 29.+30.9.2021 |
“Learning by doing” has always been the basis for learning dance. Professor Martin Puttke, leading dance educator and former director of the German State Ballet Berlin and the Aalto Ballett Theatre Essen, wants to revolutionise this tradition with his concept “DANAMOS -dance native motion system”. With DANAMOS, Puttke brings together dance didactics, music, neurocognition and biomechanics in an unusual way.
The team of the Dance Film Institute has documented some experiments of this groundbreaking training technique in the Locomotion Laboratory at the TU Darmstadt, Department of Human Sciences, Lacomotion Laboratory. The gains and progress of Puttke’s training principles are made convincingly visible with the help of state-of-the-art digital technology “motion capture”. Many thanks to Maximillian A. Stacia and his team.
| Robert Schad. Dancing sculptures in the park |
Dreharbeiten | Krähnholm, Gerhard-Marcks-Haus | Bremen, Knoops Park | D | 7.9.2021 |
It is not surprising that the German sculptor Robert Schad was particularly influenced by dancers and choreographers: his sculptures are slender steel structures that, despite the hardness of the material they are made of, give to viewer the fleeting impression of a moving body.
In the project Tanzender Stahl, the team of the Deutsches Tanzfilminstitut illustrates Schad’s sculptures at the Gerhard-Marcks-Haus and Knoops Park in Bremen, highlighting their connection to dance.
It has now been possible to bring the guest performance of the Swiss dancer ANNA HUBER, which was cancelled due to Corona, to Bremen in the context of the exhibition “Bremen vierkant” by the steel sculptor ROBERT SCHAD. With a delay of more than a year, Anna Huber will not dance in the Gerhard-Marcks Haus as originally planned, but in the Robert Schad exhibition of the Kränholm Foundation in Knoops Park. She dances to live music by Martin Schütz, cello.
Robert Schad will also be present.
Lightness and movement interest the steel sculptor Robert Schad, whose square-steel sculptures come across as weighing tons, rising gracefully higher and higher into the sky, striding through a room as if on spikes, or – more rarely – seeming to wind gently across the floor. His early artistic exchange with the dancer and choreographer GERHARD BOHNER marked the beginning of his artistic dialogue with dance makers. Robert Schad entered into a reciprocal exchange, often lasting for years, with renowned personalities such as the dancers and choreographers SUSANNE LINKE, FINE KWIATKOWSKI, RUI HORTA, AVI KAISER, URS DIETRICH and ANNA HUBER.
The week after this FINISSAGE the exhibition will be dismantled, so this special dance event is the last chance to get to know Robert Schad’s work in Bremen.
The German Dance Film Institute is using this opportunity to complete the shooting of its film project “Robert Schad and the Dance”.
If you are interested, please register informally at harenborg@kraenholm.de.
Participation is free of charge.

“For the film “Bibliothéque sac à dos”, artist Burkhard Scheller created five library backpacks that were rescued as cultural emergency luggage by performers in a forest to which a mysterious singer calls them. Some characters bear resemblance to those of the Commedia Dell’Arte.”
