Collective
TanzKollektivBremen (TKB) sees itself as a platform for contemporary dance and was founded in 2013 by Tomas Bünger, Magali Sander Fett and Miroslaw Żydowicz. Based on the own, very different biographies of the three performers, the work of the TKB is always about the dance confrontation with reality and the relevance and forms of expression of the body in society. In joint artistic research, new performative formats emerge on stage, but also in entirely different spaces. Since the 2020/21 season, the dancers have been housemates at the Schwankhalle Bremen. With this model, the Schwankhalle Bremen intensifies and consolidates its collaboration with the TKB.
In the 2020 and 2021 seasons, the dancers were housemates at the Schwankhalle Bremen. With this model, the Schwankhalle Bremen intensified and consolidated its collaboration with the TKB. Since 2022, the dramaturg Judith Strodtkötter and the dancer Neues Ledesma Vidal have been part of the TKB.

Dance performance
60 minutes, premiere 30.11.2022 at Städtische Galerie Bremen
By: Magali Sander Fett
In the form of a dance intervention, TanzKollektivBremen relates to works in the exhibition "CKD - Completely knocked down (Recife Bremen Connection)" at the Städtische Galerie. In the performance, the theme of the exhibition, disassembly of a product into its individual parts, is developed further in dance. Complex movements are fragmented and reassembled. In the interplay of music, dance and video, grotesque forms and new body creatures emerge.

Another Body
Dance performance
60 minutes, premiere 16.12.21 at Schwankhalle Bremen
By and with: Tomas Bünger, Riccardo Castagnola, Magali Sander Fett
The dance dialogues of 'Dialogue of Bodies' about the cultural imprinting of bodies are expanded to include the perspectives of a guest performer and a doctor whose preoccupation with dance usually takes place more behind the scenes.In 'Ein Tanzexemplar' - a duet about injuries and crossing borders - Magali Sander Fett meets the dance doctor Eileen Wanke. In the performance 'Dein Körper' (Your Body), Tom Bünger and the contemporary composer Riccardo Castagnola deal with power, manipulation and the desire for closeness. Both pieces are connected by the question of when one's own body becomes an object.

Dance performance

ATS Buntentor, Bremen
By: Magali Sander
Five dancers explore the world of football through artistic means. They want to learn what they cannot: Play football. What does the "choreography" on the field look like? What are rules and orders? What are the rituals before the game? How do the bodies of ballerinas and footballers differ? A performance on the football field emerges from the field research.

2D – dramatic dimensions
Media dance performance
50 minutes, premiere 19.10.2019, Kunsthalle Bremen
By: Magali Sander Fett und Till Botterweck URBANSCREEN
ICONS that visitors have previously viewed in the exhibition are projected into a space. The four performers and the specially developed sound add another spatial and temporal dimension to the projections. As a result, viewers experience a moving worship in all directions through body, sound, language, form and abstraction. The artworks thus come alive and are expanded by new, fascinating facets for the audience.

Dialog der Körper
65 minutes, premiere 21.6.2019, Schwankhalle Bremen
By: Magali Sander Fett and Mirosław Żydowicz
"Dialog der Körper" explores the cultural imprint of bodies in two duets. "Pas des deux" takes on the motif of the same name from classical ballet: what does the "step for two" look like as a contemporary couple dance that reserves all eventualities? "One" is inspired by Shakespeare's love sonnets and the symptoms of Huntington's disease. How do desire and jealousy come together with the involuntary, uncoordinated movements of the so-called St. Vitus dance?

31 Skizzen
Premiere 11.10.2018, Theater Bremen
By: Magali Sander Fett
In 1968 Johann Kresnik founded his Choreographic Theater at the Theater Bremen. 50 years later, TanzKollektivBremen explores the rather unknown graphic work of the choreographer and artist Kresnik. His sketches were the origin of his productions, his first and most original thoughts. In Thirty-One Sketches, five dancers establish a personal relationship with the images and use them like a foil. Magali Sander Fett's choreography is a performative examination of power relations and polarities. Experiences, feelings, but also the origin and generation of the dancers involved form a new interpretation of the drawings from today's perspective.

Fremd.Sein
Premiere 15.09.2017, Schwankhalle Bremen
By: Tomas Bünger
What does dance have to do with me standing here today? For many dancers migration is a professional principle of life, they are used to working with all kinds of people in all kinds of places. In the most diverse places. Being a stranger is part of everyday life. For many other people leaving their home country is the last way out of their misery. In FREMD.SEIN, a contemporary dancer from Brazil with german roots, an urban dancer from a syrian family and a breakdancer who fled from Gambia in 2014 share personal stories and explore their own life paths.

ResonanzKörper
Premiere 18.03.2017, Schwankhalle Bremen
By: Tomas Bünger, Magali Sander Fett, Kiri Haardt
Every day we expose ourselves to the environment - and deal with it. We are resonant bodies because we relate to each other. What does the world of one trigger in another one's world? And how much resonance do I allow? Three contemporary dancers/choreographers have been in dialogue with three new music composers over a period of months. The first fragments of their own artistic genre emerged, improvisations enriched each other's worlds, and the three dialogues are now combined in a performative act that gives sound and body equal space.

And now with Music
60 minutes, premiere 12.01.2017, Schwankhalle Bremen
By: Magali Sander Fett
Contemporary dance and dance sport? How do they fit together? Fascinated by a completely different dance world, Tomas Bünger and Magali Sander Fett explore the latin formation the Grün-Gold-Club Bremen. In a self-experiment they let two Bremen-based traditions collide, investigate dance and talk about the dances and in conversation for commonalities of the seemingly so different milieus. What is it, that defines dance styles and their communities? According to which rules and codes does the dance function? How does the group work and where is the individual? 'AND NOW WITH MUSIC' is bursting with humor, adrenaline, drama, sweat and pain! Because: The show must go on!

Schweres Wasser
60 minutes, premiere 04.12.2015 Schwankhalle Bremen
By / with: Magali Sander Fett / Frauke Scharf
Can you dance water? And how can a narrative be translated into movement? Inspired by the stories of the author John von Düffel the dancers deal with water in its most diverse manifestations: Rivers, sea, rain, fog, ice. Together they dive along the texts into associations rich in images, physical sensations and mental states: "I'm standing on the beach, looking at the the winter-smooth water. Where it rests, where it stirs. The ice is quite tender and vulnerable, like the skin on a cooled down milk... soft ice water fluff." (John von Düffel, free translation of "Wassererzählung", DuMont: Cologne, 2014)
