Competition: NO BALLET 2012

Competition NO BALLET 2012


From November 8 to 10, 2012, the Theater im Pfalzbau in Ludwigshafen / Germany hosts the International Choreography Competition NO BALLET 2012 – a competition for modern and contemporary dance, according to the idea and artistic concept of the choreographer Juliane Rößler.

The conceptual motto NO BALLET of the competition as well as the artistic credo “reduce to the max” should encourage the choreographers to concentrate on the essentials of a (post) modern dance-production: Choreographers should develop their own contemporary and genuine dance-language, their own style, beyond established dance techniques and movements, and without the help of splendid stage-design, costumes and light-effects. Professionals of every age with choreographies with at least two dancers are invited to apply.

Jury:
Hansgünther Heyme, Reinhild Hoffmann, Susanne Linke, Kajo Nelles, Klaus Obermaier, Graziela Padilla, Hartmut Regitz, Juliane Rößler, Ralf Rossa, Darrel Toulon

Closing date to apply:
23 July 2012

Prizes to win
1st prize: 7.500 Euro
2nd prize: 5.000 Euro
3rd prize: 2.500 Euro
audience prize: 1.000 Euro

Conditions and application form:

In July 2012, INTERNATIONALE BÜHNENWERKSTATT stages its yearly Dance Theatre Festival on the street right in the heart of Graz. International Artists will perform their works in the public space and will turn the whole town into a theatre.

During this noted dance festival, lovers of contemporary dance will be taken on a journey to overseas and to far-away Asia, to immerse in a world of stories that embrace the polarity between everyday banalities and abstract inspiration and between tradition and modernism.

The festival organiser invites dancers and dancers-to-be of all ages to join in classes with international dance artists. The workshops include courses in afro dance, pilates, contemporary dance, contact improvisation, intercultural performance and performance art for children etc.

Early booking is vividly recommended, as tickets are usually sold out quickly.

Review: Javier de Frutos/Pet Shop Boys - The Most Incredible Thing

Review: Javier de Frutos/Pet Shop Boys - The Most Incredible Thing 

The fairy tale "The Most Incredible Thing" by Danish poet Hans Christian Andersen is the starting point for the same-titled ballet choreographed by Javier de Frutos.The story itself is about a competition to find the most incredible thing. The king offers the winner not only half of his kingdom, but also the hand of his daughter (Clemmie Sveaas). As the kingdom itself is shown like a authoritarian, post-Soviet state, the first scene starts very atmospheric, showing the people as robotic workers restrained and suppressed.

Karl (former Royal Ballet principal Ivan Putrov), the cold-hearted general, fits perfectly into the dark side of the kingdom and, how else could it be, does everything in his power to win the competition, but the young artist Leo (Aaron Sillis) creates the incredible thing, a clock that will not only save the daughter from Karl, but also obtain her love for himself.

"The Most Incredible Thing" lives from the numerous projections and the continuously shifting stage scenery, which is sometimes simply too much for the development of the story, even if some visual effects are quite stunning (especially the "incredible thing" itself).
