Baile. Dance performance by Magali Sander Fett with the TanzkollektivBremen

‘Baile’ aims to dissolve the boundaries between audience and performers and get everyone dancing. The basis of the coming together is Baile Funk, a dance that originated in the favelas of Brazil. The dancer Magali Sander Fett has learnt this dance style through research with Yago Morais and Héricles Garcia from Brazil, who are experienced in Baile Funk, and now wants to bring the dance to Bremen together with them.

The dance style is an expression of the attempt to find a collective, self-determined identity in the language of movement. Baile invites people to dance and at the same time asks: How can performers and audiences come together on stage and work together on a piece with different backgrounds and experiences? The choreographies of Baile Funk, the passinhos, form the basis for everyone: the dancers and the DJ explore the choreographic and musical structure of the dance. They complement and transform it with their own movement and sound vocabulary. ‘Baile’ becomes a ball for everyone, with or without dance experience.

The German Dance Film Institute team will document the performance.
