With the combination of archive and professional production, the German Dancefilm Institut is a unique institution in Europe.

We create productions for TV-stations about current events in dance and features about specific themes of dance. Editors and film-makers use the archive for their reports on dance. Apart from video-documentations for companies and choreographers, the institute also creates multi-media and print productions.

Most of the institute’s productions are available for non-commercial usage as VHS-copie or DVD for a fee.

The German Dance Film Institute is a document archive, in which the stocks are only available on site. Other potential uses arise after consultation with rights holders for specific inquiries.

Life is performance and to enter the world is also to enter a stage. In times of isolation, this stage does not exist, we are alone with ourselves and hardly enter into a relationship with other people. The game is paused – we are completely ourselves. But how much of this human being is actually visible in our public performance? In “undressed”, the dancers of tanzbar_bremen make themselves beautiful for the world and consciously enter the theatre space as a space of possibility, as a space of staging. Only gradually do they try to shed the layers of representation to reveal a glimpse of that which also wants to shine through. How much of a role should and do I want to play? What do I reveal?

There is hardly a dancer and choreographer of her generation whose work has been so comprehensively documented on film: Heide-Marie Härtel accompanied the career of 2022 Dance Prize winner Reinhild Hoffmann with her camera from the very beginning. Whether in the training hall at the Bremen Theatre, at the now legendary “Solo mit Sofa” at the Concordia Bremen, at the Folkwang Tanzstudio, at guest performances at home and abroad with the Goethe-Institut and later at her opera productions, filmmaker Härtel was there and recorded the performance.

 

Now the circle is complete: at the German Dance Film Institute in Bremen, the video recordings of Hoffmann’s life’s work will be digitised and thus secured in the long term for future dance makers and dance enthusiasts. For over a year, Reinhild Hoffmann and Heide-Marie Härtel will regularly sit down together to add more detailed information about the individual recordings to the database of the Deutsches Tanzfilminstitut.

As part of the series DANCE:DIGITAL II [Making Of], cultural journalist Claudia Henne interviews Tobias Staab, choreographer and author of the project “Autonomous Avatar. An immersive Dance Experience”.

 

How much longer will we be able to control the technologies we have created? This is the question that choreographer Tobias Staab wants to explore in his project Autonomous Avatar. The dancers perform in the unusual and fascinating venue of the Bochum Planetarium: thanks to motion-capture suits, their movements generate video installations along the dome of the planetarium, depicting their digital avatars, which become more and more human-like. An ambitious project, which questions how technologies are shaping our perception of what is alive and what is not.

In Talk2Me4D, Wayne Götz and Lucy Flournoy, both physical theatre performers, want to explore the possibilities and limitations of artificial intelligences such as GPT-3 and Amazon’s Alexa. Beside interacting with them on stage, they also create an immersive, fourth-dimensional, exquisitely entertaining version of the performance, that the public can experience with VR glasses. The project liberates new technologies from a dystopian imagery, reminding us that play is at the basis of every artistic experience.

German Dance Award Dreharbeiten Dachverband Tanz Deutschland e.V. Essen im Aalto-Theater D 2022

The German Dance Prize is the most prestigious prize for dance in Germany and has been awarded annually at a festive dance gala since 1983.

On 15 October, the award ceremony of the German Dance Prize 2022 took place at the Aalto Theatre in Essen. With a diverse programme and international guests, the diversity of dance and the art of the award winners were celebrated.

The multifaceted programme of the German Dance Award 2022 was presented at the Aalto-Theatre in Essen.

This year, the multifaceted programme revolved exclusively around the prize-winners. Two pieces by Marco Goecke were part of the programme. Lilith Hakobyan from the Staatsballett Hannover danced the solo Tué to music by the singer Barbara, which Marco Goecke dedicated to Princess Caroline of Monaco in 2009 as a tribute to her many years of commitment to dance. Rosario Guerra and Louis Steinmetz, also from the Staatsballett Hannover, also presented Marco Goecke’s duet Midnight Raga, whose title is based on classical Indian music.

Christoph Winkler presented his piece Coming Together to the music of the composition of the same name by Federic Rzewski, performed by the international Zafraan Ensemble. Dancers from the Netherlands, Nigeria, New Zealand and Germany deal with the body in turmoil and explore the body’s potential for protest.

Christoph Winkler’s piece Coming Together is set to music by Federic Rzewski.

Reinhild Hoffmann’s performance Solange man unterwegs ist… (As long as you’re on the road…), created especially for the event, takes us on a journey into her artistic past and allows us to experience her work of the past decades in the present.

The film WE LIVE IN A STRANGE WORLD – a dance film inspired by the speeches of Greta Thunberg by Christin and Carola Schmidt, created as part of the Chance Tanz funding programme of the Aktion Tanz association, will be presented as an example of the work of the association.

 

The team of the German Dance Film Institute Bremen is pleased to document the gala on the occasion of the awarding of the highest prize for dance in Germany on film again this year.

In the project Doubt22, choreographer Maureen Reeor mixes contemporary dance and videogame imagery, creating a performance in which the spectators decide, via an application on their mobile phones that confronts them with choices, how the performance will develop. An entertaining work that asks some questions about how the relationship with new technologies has changed our approach to performance, and about the possibilities that virtual reality can offer.

Virtual reality can help us rethink the way we approach our bodies, allowing us to overcome societal prejudices and stereotypes. In the project Dead Code Must Be Alive, performer and choreographer Brigitte Huezo, with the help of valuable collaborators, imagines a virtual space where, interweaving dance, graphic art and cyberfeminism, the body can express itself freely, without imposed models or gender labels.

Masters are truly great for what they pass on to their students: they leave traces that settle over time, becoming footsteps that others can walk in the future. The team of the German Dance Film Institute Bremen documented the Inner Suspension training programme developed by dancer and choreographer Susanne Linke at the Tanzhaus Züllig of the Folkwang Universität Tanz. The aim is to record and pass on this foundation of her way of working. An intensive experience with the great choreographer and her closest collaborators.

Cameras, integrated by 360° recordings, dance with the performers on stage to create an immersive viewing experience for the audience. Digital media are no longer a mere technical support, but real creative tools, and the choreography on stage is translated into an autonomous audiovisual art format.

Can virtual reality be an opportunity in children’s education? In Der schwarze Spiegel, one of the TANZ:DIGITAL II projects, the TAFI Team followed a class of students from the 116. Oberschule in Dresden during a special art workshop: interacting with a VR installation, between play and reflection, the kids are able to create a dance piece together with dancers from the Landesbühnen Sachsen – who are not physically present, but only through their digital avatars. Conceived by the TMA Hellerau under the supervision of media teacher Katharina Groß, the young students learn to deal with new technologies in a non-passive, creative and free way.

Virtual Sureallity/ bodytalk. tanz:digital II [Making Of]

Dreharbeiten Deutsches Tanzfilminstitut Bremen Düsseldorf D 2022

Virtual reality technologies are often used to create alternative dimensions; but what if instead we used them to give substance to something fragile that we already possess, such as our memories? In the Virtual Surreality project, the members of the “bodytalk” collective (Yoshiko Waki, Rolf Baumgart, Marcus Bomski) asked various dance experts what they considered to be the most significant moments in the history of dance; they then traced these moments in the archives of the Deutsches Tanzfilminstitut, and reenacted them interactively with a team of four dancers. The results of the reconstruction are compared with the personal memories of the people interviewed, who watch the performances with VR glasses: past and present are intertwined in this ‘surreal reality’, and what has been is not really lost, but can return to dance.

The Beyond Lightscapes project takes virtual reality research to a previously unexplored level in the world of dance. The PMD-ART Productions collective, composed of Marcus Doering, Lars Scheibner and André Bernhardt, has in fact devised a technology that makes it possible to map and actively follow the dancers in real time: the video therefore does not take place in a separate dimension, but is attached to the dancers, it follows them and adapts to them, like a real costume made of light. The dancers’ movements give life to magnificent scenographies and suggestive visual effects, leaving us to imagine all the possibilities that an artistic communication between man and machine can open up.

Dreharbeiten ProdÁrt Hafenmuseum Bremen D 2022

We are made up of the places we have passed through, the encounters that have enriched us, the people we have met and changed, even imperceptibly, the trajectory of our lives. This seems to be the heart of the piece “5 Minuten Heimat”, directed by Fabián Aimar and choreographed by Günther Grollitsch: to make us understand that migration regards not only individuals who move from one country to another, but indeed it represents the basic condition of human beings. We move, we grow, we respond to desires and needs, and these desires and needs sometimes take us far from home. The team of the Deutsces Tanzfilminstitut filmed the premiere of the performance in the spaces of the Hafenmuseum in Bremen: the dancers are migrants with and without disabilities who, for the duration of the show, seem to reconstruct on stage the homeland they have lost, or have not yet found.

 

ProdArt e.V. was founded in 2021 due to the mutual interest of the artists in their creative approaches. ProdArt artists understand diversity as a guiding principle for social and individual action. Diversity does not demand the adaptation of the individual, but promotes the opening of society – and thus a basic attitude that recognises each person as valuable on the basis of their individual characteristics and abilities.

 
With its work, the association wants to work towards the creation of favourable conditions for living, learning and working together, focusing on the equal participation of people with mental, physical, psychological and sensory impairments and/or chronic illnesses as well as different cultural origins and sexual orientations in social-cultural and artistic life.

If the body could speak/ Robert Wechsler. tanz:digital II [Making Of]

Dreharbeiten Palindrome Dance Company Weimar D 2022

“If the body could speak”, what would it say? This is the question Robert Wechsler, choreographer and director of Palindrome Dance Company, asked himself when he designed an installation that generates sounds as soon as a body moves over a special carpet. An inclusive work that allows people with disabilities to dance and produce sounds, but also a poetic exercise, in which with just a few movements we can become a waterfall, a guitar or a bird rising into the sky, overcoming with imagination the limits imposed by the body. The magic carpet exists, and not only in fairy tales.
