Jury-Entscheidung SoloDuo NRW + Friends 2016:

Best Solo
Federico Rodolfo Zapata González:

One hundred is a crazy comedy with a ‘count-up’ that shows the stress of quantifying the body in dance as well as in sports. Federico combines strong physicality and plays with masculinity within a musical, clever structure.

Best Solo Nachwuchs
Daniella Eriksson:Daniela seduces us as a poisonous flower. Ranunculus is an intimate solo that shows the shifting between a nasty little girl to a woman that tries to behave herself. It is great how she breaks a grounded, controlled and fast dance style with very precise theatrical gestures.Best Duo
Takashi Yamamoto:A couple finds each other in a very cautious way. Takashi Yamamoto and Chih-Lin Chan explore the difficulties of a love relationship. Within a very tender and highly sensitive movement style they transform ‘Yoku’ into a very poetic and spiritual encounter.

Best Duo Nachwuchs
Debora Regoli & Aurora Fradella:

A heavy breathing gives life to two strange creatures. Debora Regoli and Aurora Fradella show ‘man as a rational animal’ in a strong female duet. They are developing a movement style that plays with the contrast between softness and wildness.

Best Dancer
Roni Chadash:

She can be a reptile, a spider, a crab – and a human? In her solo Ani-Ma, Roni Chadash runs through uncountable metamorphoses in a very unique interpretation of evolution. In surprisingly alienated ways her body twists, crawls, creeps and inverts. A miscellaneous, profound dancer.
