Filmstill. Training für die Forschung. Theater Kiel VULNERABLY BEAUTIFUL. Dance between elegance and risk
Dokumentarfilm zu einer Studie der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt.
 Video-Produktion Deutsches Tanzfilminstitut Bremen Bremen D 10.07.2025

With Vulnerably Beautiful – Dance between Elegance and Risk, the German Dance Film Institute Bremen presents its latest documentary – an impressive portrait of a medical study of professional dance in the field of tension between artistic dedication and physical strain.

The film is accompanied by a comprehensive research project conducted by the Institute for Occupational, Social and Environmental Medicine at Goethe University Frankfurt under the direction of Prof. Dr Dr Eileen Wanke. Using modern methods of movement analysis (kinematic examination of movement sequences), movement patterns of professional dancers were analysed during training and rehearsals. The focus: the influence of different floors on the body, determined by identical movement sequences with and without pointe shoes on two different types of floor.

 

The film was shot at the Staatstheater Oldenburg and the Theater Kiel – two theatres with renowned classical companies known for their excellent dance quality.

 

>The film not only conveys scientific findings, but also personal perspectives. In addition to dancers and Heather Jürgensen, 1st ballet master and deputy ballet director of Ballett Kiel, Prof Dr Dr Eileen Wanke herself has her say in a detailed interview. She explains the background to the study and categorises the results from a medical perspective. In addition, Wolfgang Heuer from Unfallkasse NRW’s stage technology department reports on safety aspects and prevention in stage operations.

 

Vulnerably beautiful invites you to see dance not only as an art form, but also as a high-performance physical discipline with all its risks and challenges.

Blick ins Innere ©Marianne Menke Alexandra Beriault with Cinematic Spaces from the University of the Arts Bremen as a guest

 Veranstaltung Deutsches Tanzfilminstitut Bremen - Deutsches Tanzfilminstitut D 28.06.2025

On Wednesday, June 18th, the Hochschule für Künste class Cinematic Spaces visited the Deutsches Tanzfilminstitut, where we were greeted by the institute’s director, Heide-Marie Härtel. As she guided us through the premises, we were introduced to several facets of the institute—one major highlight being the opportunity to see where many original dance films are digitized for the archive. The digitization studio features a fully customized system that accommodates a range of analog moving-image formats. Multiple dance films (from various time periods) play simultaneously on a collection of stacked CRT television monitors, and the entire experience of seeing such a system at work feels akin to stepping into a multi-channel video installation—dedicated solely to dance film.

 

Throughout the tour, our class was given glimpses into several examples from the institute’s extensive archive of dance videos, as well as other films that document a history of collaborative projects between the Deutsches Tanzfilminstitut and numerous international partners. Several of the dance works shown incorporated elements of the visual arts, including video, sound, sculpture, and multimedia installation. In essence, we were invited to consider dance and the stage as another possibility for what a “cinematic space” could embody.

Im Rahmen der BiblioCon - 9. Bibliothekskongress 2025 in Bremen
Veranstaltung Berufsverband Information Bibliothek e.V. Bremen - Forum am Wall D 24.06.2025

How is artificial intelligence changing the way we work with film, AV media and archives? What opportunities and challenges arise for research, archiving and mediation? The public working session of the Film AV & Media DACH working group, which is taking place as part of BiblioCon in Bremen, is dedicated to these questions.

 

Under the title ‘AI in Film and Media’, experts from Germany, Austria and Switzerland will come together to discuss the latest developments. The programme includes contributions from the Film Institute Hanover, the FID Media (formerly FID Film, Media and Communication Science / MediaRep) and the AV-Portal of the TIB Hanover – supplemented by insights into local institutions and projects.

 

A special highlight of the programme is a visit to the German Dance Film Institute Bremen, the world’s largest archive for dance film. The tour will provide an insight into the combination of decades of archive practice with new digital and AI-supported perspectives.

 

The session is open to the public and invites all interested parties – for information, discussion and networking at the interface of media studies, practice and technology.

 Dreharbeiten steptext dance project | StattReisen Bremen Bremen D 06.-30.06.2025 (freitags)

Visiting the Hanseatic city is always worthwhile!

 

But what steptext dance project and StattReisen Bremen have now come up with is completely new!

 

The participants embark on a completely new form of city exploration, in which the international ensemble Of Curious Nature turns a city tour into an event through dance interventions.

 

The intense dance performances presented by the seven dancers of the Bremen-based company Of Curious Nature at selected locations are unique. The art connects with the city and revitalises the urban space in a unique way.

 

The route includes places that even Bremen residents are unlikely to have visited often: the roof terrace of ecos works spaces, the Bremen Cotton Exchange, the sculpture garden at the Bürgerschaft and the new university forum at Domshof.

 

The dancers from Of Curious Nature create poetic images that connect bodies and urban space and give rise to visions of a city centre of the future. In a special atmosphere, visual axes are artistically designed and create new perspectives with lasting impressions of the city centre.

 

The German Dance Film Institute team is documenting this event.

Susan Barnett Age on Stage – old iron? Not at all! Dance has no expiry date. Guest lecture by Susan Barnett
Im Rahmen des Seminars "Tanz-Exkursionen in die Innenwelt des Tanzes" von Dr. Monika Thiele, Seniorenstudium, Akademie für Weiterbildung, Universität Bremen
 Filmvortrag Deutsches Tanzfilminstitut - Universität Bremen Bremen | Hybrid D 19.05.2025

Can a body over 50 still dance? And if so, how? This guest lecture deals with this question.

 

Susan Barnett, dancer and dance teacher from Bremen, was invited to give this lecture. Barnett comes from Wales, has danced internationally – including with the Ballet Municipal de Santiago and in Hans Kresnik’s ensemble – and has been a freelance dancer for many years. With a Master’s degree in Dance Science and a wide range of projects between stage art, dance education and community dance, she deals intensively with the topics of body, age and expression.

 

In professional dance in particular, age often seems to be a criterion for exclusion. While mature artists and (fewer) female artists are still on stage in film and theatre, professional dancers often disappear from the limelight at an early age. What are the reasons for this? Is it an outdated ideal of eternal youth, agility and peak physical performance?

 

But dance can do more. Mobility, joie de vivre, expression – all of this can be maintained and even enhanced into old age.

This guest lecture ‘Age on Stage’ therefore focussed not only on the question of health benefits, but above all on artistic perspectives:

Is getting older on the dance stage really a taboo?
What new forms of expression emerge when the body emphasises qualities other than bounce and speed?
And how can images of age be shifted in art?

 

‘Age on Stage’ is an invitation to rethink dance: not as a privilege of youth, but as a lifelong form of movement and expression.

Die Gastdozentin Prof. Dr. Dr. Eileen M. Wanke (links im Bild) From dance to dance medicine – insights from Prof Dr Dr med Eileen M. Wanke
Im Rahmen des Seminars "Tanz-Exkursionen in die Innenwelt des Tanzes" von Dr. Monika Thiele, Seniorenstudium, Akademie für Weiterbildung, Universität Bremen
 Veranstaltung Deutsches Tanzfilminstitut - Universität Bremen Bremen - Deutsches Tanzfilminstitut D 12.05.2025

As part of the event ‘Dance – Excursions into the inner world of dance’, we welcome Prof. Dr Dr Eileen Wanke from the Institute for Occupational, Social and Environmental Medicine at Goethe University Frankfurt as a special guest.

 

Prof. Wanke is leading a research project to analyse movement patterns in professional stage dance. State-of-the-art kinematic methods are used to scientifically analyse stresses and risks for dancers – work that opens up new perspectives on prevention and health promotion in dance.

 

Where does art end, where does medicine begin? In her lecture ‘From dance to dance medicine’, Prof. Dr Dr Eileen M. Wanke sheds light on the development of dance from an elementary human form of movement to a profession with special physical requirements – and the emergence of dance medicine as an independent interdisciplinary field.

 

Using historical examples, Prof Wanke shows how dance has always been used to maintain health. At the same time, she outlines the specific stresses and risks that professional dancers are exposed to as part of their training and profession.

 

The focus is on the question: How can medical knowledge help to prevent injuries, maintain performance and ensure the long-term health of dancers?

 

A lecture with film contribution between dance art and science – understandable, practical and with a view to current research results.

 Filmvortrag Deutsches Tanzfilminstitut Bremen Bremen - Deutsches Tanzfilminstitut D 09.04.2025

How does dance change when it is centred on a single person? And what social impulses are contained in this form? Heide-Marie Härtel, founder and director of the German Dance Film Institute Bremen, opens her five-part lecture on the topic of ‘100 years of solo dance’ with these questions. The seminar is a cooperation with the Dance and Theatre in Social Work course at the University of Arts in Ottersberg under the direction of Prof. Leonardo Cruz.

Heide-Marie Härtel uses selected film clips from the archive to provide insights into the works of outstanding solo dancers.

An inspiring look back and forward – in the spirit of dance as both an individual and social act.

Prof. Dr. Dr. Eileen M. Wanke im Interview. Dance Medical Researchv. An interview with Prof Dr Dr Eileen Wanke

 Dreharbeiten Deutsches Tanzfilminstitut Bremen Bremen D 09.04.2025

What happens to the joints of dancers who perform at the highest level every day? A research project at the Institute of Occupational, Social and Environmental Medicine at Goethe University Frankfurt, led by Prof. Dr Dr Eileen Wanke, is investigating this question.

 

The study focuses on the use of state-of-the-art motion capture technology: movement data was precisely recorded on dancers from the Oldenburg State Theatre during training and rehearsals. This technology makes it possible to visualise stresses on joints and muscles that are neither visible nor measurable to the naked eye.

 

The study also investigates how different dance floors affect the body. To do this, the dancers perform identical movement sequences on two different types of floor – with and without pointe shoes.

 

The German Dance Film Institute Bremen accompanied the project on film and spoke to Prof Dr Dr Eileen Wanke about the background, aims and initial findings. Her interview forms the core of a new film that shows that dance and science can complement each other productively – for the health of artists on and off stage.

Ferdy II. Filmstill Ferdy II von KOÏNZI-DANCE

 Dreharbeiten KOÏNZI-DANCE Hamburg. Poolhaus Blankenese D 23.03.2025

From Gombrowicz’s diary: “You torment me with the question “What did you want to say with FERDYDURKE” I answer: ‘Be more sensual, less intellectual, try to dance with this book rather than approach its skeleton. Let it seduce you rather than ask why, ask if it is enticing, enchanting, passionate and courageous. May it lead you into reality, [...]…Pssst …. I’ve already said too much’!‘

 

With this in mind, Nele Lipp and her dancers Anna Grover, Nicole Gießler, Christa Krings and singer Corinna Meyer-Esche created the Ferdyfilm in the form of two ’Complete Fragments”. The second “fragment” was created with the help of the German Dance Film Institute Bremen.

Baile. Filmstill Baile. Dance performance by Magali Sander Fett with the TanzkollektivBremen

 Dreharbeiten TanzKollektivBremen Bremen - Zentrum für Kunst im Tabakquartier D 14.03.2025

‘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.

On 7 March 2025, Heide-Marie Härtel, founder and long-standing artistic director of the German Dance Film Institute Bremen, was awarded the Cross of Merit on Ribbon of the Federal Republic of Germany. Mayor Dr Andreas Bovenschulte presented her with the award in the Senate Hall of Bremen City Hall, honouring her outstanding services to the preservation and dissemination of the cultural heritage of dance.

 

Heide-Marie Härtel studied classical and modern dance in Cologne and was employed as a dancer at the Bremen Theatre from 1971. Since the late 1970s, she has dedicated herself to the documentation and mediation of dance film. In 1989, together with Susanne Schlichter, she founded the German Dance Film Institute Bremen. With over 40,000 media, it is now one of the most important archives for dance film in Europe.

 

In his laudatory speech, Mayor Bovenschulte emphasised:
“Over the past 35 years, Heide-Marie Härtel has made a significant contribution to preserving and passing on the cultural heritage of dance through her many years of work in the field of dance film. With tireless dedication and a special feeling for the importance of dance, she has provided important impulses that reach far beyond national borders.”

 

In addition to her work as a producer and director, Heide-Marie Härtel initiated European projects to network dance archives and was involved in the umbrella organisation Tanz Deutschland. She has already received the 2021 German Dance Award for her life’s work. The team of the German Dance Film Institute warmly congratulates Heide-Marie Härtel on this well-deserved award.

 Dreharbeiten Deutsches Tanzfilminstitut Bremen Bremen D 24.02.2025

The right floor plays a decisive role in rehearsals and performances in professional dance: it not only influences the feeling of movement, but also the physical strain and the risk of injury.

 

Wolfgang Heuer, Deputy Head of the ‘Stages and Studios’ department at Unfallkasse NRW (DGUV), is contributing his expertise to the dance medicine research project under the direction of Prof Dr Dr Eileen Wanke. The focus is on the question of how different floor coverings affect the joints and the entire musculoskeletal system of dancers.

 

For the statutory accident insurance, such findings are of great importance: they provide an important basis for recommendations to theatres and training centres in order to make rehearsal and performance conditions as safe as possible.

Patricio Bunster im Grünen Tisch. Filmstill THE MEMORY OF DANCE. Archive trips with Patricio Bunster

 Video-Produktion Deutsches Tanzfilminstitut Bremen Bremen. Dresden D 10.12.2024

Dance can be a form of optimism that leads to the realisation that even in the greatest catastrophes, you can see everything differently.’ – Patricio Bunster.

After fleeing Chile in 1973, the dancer and choreographer Patricio Bunster (1924-2006) found new opportunities for development in the GDR. What influences shaped him and what traces can still be found at his places of work in Dresden, Leipzig, Rostock and Chile? How did modern dance develop there? What did he leave behind and how is he and his work remembered today?

On Open Day in October 2024, the Palucca University dedicated a panel discussion to Patricio Bunster with former students and companions, including Prof Dr Peter Jarchow, Prof Dr Ralf Stabel, Antje Ladstätter, Regina Schettler and Raymond Hilbert. In addition, an exhibition in the rooms of the Archiv-Villa provided insights into Bunter’s life and artistic work.
The short documentary “The Memory of Dance. Archive Journeys with Patricio Bunster” accompanies and portrays the exhibition and the panel discussion on the 100th birthday of the Chilean choreographer and dancer Patricio Bunster at the Palucca University of Dance Dresden. The exhibition was curated by the Leipzig Dance Archive, the Archive of the Palucca University of Dance Dresden and the Saxon Academy of Arts and realised in cooperation with the University of Leipzig and the Palucca University of Dance Dresden.
The film was produced by the German Dance Film Institute Bremen.

But dance is fleeting. What remains are recordings. This is where the German Dance Film Institute Bremen comes into play: under the direction of Heide-Marie Härtel, herself once a soloist under Hans Kresnik, Europe’s largest dance film archive has been created since the 1980s. Over 40,000 film and video documents are stored directly above the Bremen City Library – many of them works by John Neumeier, recorded in TV quality.

 

The series of events also presents the archive itself. Heide-Marie Härtel will provide personal insights: as a former dancer and as an archivist who preserves dance for future generations.

 

Three events are planned at the German Dance Film Institute Bremen, which can also be followed online via Zoom.

Flesh and Flowers. Filmstill Flesh and Flowers. TanzKollektivBremen

 Dreharbeiten TanzKollektivBremen Bremen - Zentrum für Kunst im Tabakquartier D 13.-14.11.2024

“The TanzKollektivBremen is drawn to Paula Modersohn-Becker, or more precisely to her self-portraits. For this encounter with the works of the Worpswede artist, the dance collective is inviting reinforcements: Laura Alcalà Freudenthal from Barcelona is choreographing the dancers Magali Sander Fett and Neus Ledesma Vidal, inspired by the life and work of Paula Modersohn-Becker.

 

I am I, and I hope to become more and more I.

This is what Paula Modersohn-Becker wrote in a letter to Rainer Maria Rilke in 1906. She trusts in her art and constantly looks at herself anew through her art.

Alcalà Freudenthal turns the stage into a canvas that the dancers work on with their movements. This constantly creates new perspectives on her (own) work. Two bodies, incessant shaking, flowers and skin. Everything is always new.

Isn’t it true that we only become something when we move?

 

‘Flesh and Flowers’ is being created as part of TanzKollektivBremen’s residency at the Centre for Art during the 2024/25 season. Funded by the Senator for Culture.”

Anna Konjetzky. MOVE MORE MORPH IT @Franz Kimmel Dance Prize Cultural Salon PACT Zollverein 2024

 Dreharbeiten Dachverband Tanz Deutschland Essen - PACT Zollverein D 11.10.2024

On Friday, 11 October, the Tanzpreis Kultursalon took place at PACT Zollverein at 7 pm.

The Kultursalon offered visitors the opportunity to find out more about the art and work of this year’s award winners and honourees and to engage in dialogue with them. Sasha Waltz received the German Dance Award 2024, Dieter Heitkamp was honoured with a lifetime achievement award and explore dance – Netzwerk Tanz für junges Publikum was honoured for outstanding development in dance.

The evening’s dance was enriched by the explore dance production ‘Move More Morph It!’, choreographed by Anna Konjetzky. ‘Move More Morph It!’ is a mobile pop-up production for young audiences aged 8 and up and poses the questions: Who, how and what can I be? A body sets itself to music, providing the soundtrack for a journey through different identities, self-designs and fantastic characters. Large effects and subtle tones trick perception and awaken curiosity about a creative approach to attributions.

Michael Freundt, Managing Director of Dachverband Tanz Deutschland, hosted the programme and engaged in conversation with the award winner and the honourees on stage. The laudatory speeches for Dieter Heitkamp and explore dance are part of the evening. The laudatory speech for Sasha Waltz was held the following evening at the Aalto Theatre in Essen as part of a festive dance gala.

 

After the Kultursalon, visitors were invited to a reception where they could socialise and linger.

 

An evening full of encounters!

The event was offered with translation into German Sign Language (DGS) and audio description (AD).
