DIE BEGRÜNDUNGEN DER JURY
BEST DUO
„augenHÖHE“ Bärbel Stenzenberger (D)
Two men in a most uneven encounter. If one is crawling, the other one swaggers. If one is longing for attention, the other one is a master in ignoring. Olaf Reinecke and Erik Constantin are those two impressively divers performers and we don’t know: are they brothers? What we know is, that they are all but on „augenHÖHE“, as Bärbel Stenzenberger calls her choreography that surprises with abrupt changes between fluent spacious movements and everyday-gestures. A convincing duet that combines subtle humor and delicate nostalgia.
BEST NEWCOMER DUO
„BRUT-E“ Maxim Campistron and Angélique Verger (Company WAO) (F)
Love never gives them a moment of peace. Love is terrifying rough and startling tender, pushes them together and apart almost in the same moment. „BRUT-E“ by Maxim Campistron and Angélique Verger portrays two lonely outcasts, both in their peculiar, almost autistic worlds, who find themselves finally in a beautiful relationship. With impulsive partnerwork and articulate body-expression Campistron/Verger show the negotiation of two dancers. A touching duo about the struggle of two souls creating intimacy out of difference.
BEST SOLO
„Pode ser“ Leila Ka (F)
A cheek trembles. A head shakes. An ellbow sticks out. And from that on there is no way back: The twitching and releasing of joints infects the whole body. In „Pode ser“ the dancer and choreographer Leila Ka deconstructs the stereotypes of HipHop: It’s fragmented use of the body and its macho-attitudes – until finally the body evolves as a complete unit. „Pode ser“ is full of grotesque humour combined with a very precise strength. A solo that fuses contemporary and urban dance to a unique body-language.
BEST NEWCOMER SOLO
„R“ Kenji Shinohe (D)
He is Asian and that is why he cannot sing in the -. Or be somewhere over the -. And if he wants to do Shakespeare’s greatest love story, then Juliet misses her -. In his solo „R“ Kenji Shinohe tells us about a new version of the ‘clash of cultures’, as a narrative about longing: An Eastern boy loving the icons of Western entertainment. Gene Kelly’s tap-dance turns into a virtuos choreography only for fingers – a musical en miniature. „We will rock you“ as an rebellious outburst and „Romeo and Juliet“ as a crazy shadow theatre. East and West meet with poetic esprit and lightness.
