New creation 2018: MY BODY IS YOUR BODY (Working title)

Tim Behren (artistic director/choreographer) is looking for two circus performers with an acrobatic discipline and experience in dance practice (experience in floorwork/flying-low and partnering)

We are seeking performers with circus background with specifically an acrobatic discipline on the floor (dance-acrobatics, partnering/hand to hand, Cyr wheel, acrobatic-object-manipulators…) with at least three years of professional experience after graduation.

About MY BODY IS YOUR BODY:

„My body is your body“ (working title): three performers on stage with mixed background from circus and dance as well as physical interaction with the audience. This creation is the second in a specific series of productions. The serie is a reflection about recent political developments in analogy to geometrical spatial arrangements for public and performers. The first production on this topic was „Surround“ (2017). „My body is your body“ will deal with the notion of delegated power in analogy to the geometrical setting in parliaments of the british model: the opposing benches.

Berlin: Wednesday, 28th february 10.30 – 17.30 + Thursday 1st March (Recall) 10.30 – 16.00
