The Baile Funk from Brazil is much: a social movement of marginalized communities. He is freedom and inspiration. He's under strict control. He is connected with violence and sexism. It is more and more a place for women and queer people. He has a long history and is emerging with each baile. It is an intangible World Heritage Site. He is now a global movement....and at the same time never really put into words.

Er ist Passinhos.

In BAILE In BAILE, dancers meet dancers:innen: Bremen on Rio. Connected by passinhos. Fast step sequences that evolve from one person to another. The passinhos are open: every person is allowed to execute them as they please. A great freedom in many small steps.

Dance performance, 60 minutes

Premiere on 14.11.2024 at the Zentrum für Kunst

By: Laura Alcalà Freudenthal & TKB

The dance collectiveBremen draws to the self-portraits of Paula Modersohn Becker. For this encounter with the work of the Worpswede artist, the dance collective invites reinforcement: Laura Alcalà Freudenthal from the collective La Súbita from Barcelona choreographed by the life and work of Paula Modersohn Becker, the dancers Magali Sander Fett and Neus Ledesma Vidal. 

“I am I, and I hope to become more and more” is how Paula Modersohn Becker writes in a letter to Rainer Maria Rilke in 1906. She trusts in her art and looks at herself again and again through her art. 

Alcalà Freudenthal turns the stage into a canvas, which the dancers work with their movements. In this way, new perspectives on (own) creation are constantly emerging. Two bodies, incessant shaking, flowers and skin. Everything always new. Isn't it that we're just moving on something?

Schwankhalle Bremen

The opera choir as a community of individuals has fascinated the choreographer Magali Sander Fett for a long time. They came into contact on stage – Magali Sander Fett as a dancing one, the choir as a singing unit. In "Chorus" she takes the choir into account as a community. What musical structures do they hold together? And how can the experience of singing together be transferred to a choreography for four dancers and a musician?

Performance Installation
60 minutes, premiere on 14.09.2023 at the Städtische Galerie Bremen

By: Neus Ledesma Vidal & Jorge Julve

The piece is the result of a months-long exchange between choreographer Neus Ledesma Vidal (Bremen) and visual artist Jorge Julve (València). The performance installation is a guest at the Städtische Galerie: large-format paintings meet dancing bodies and are in continuous conversation. They transform and manipulate themselves. The closeness between art and the public can take up space. Textures and structures become figurative images. This shared space becomes the stage for the lust for play with ever-changing landscapes.

The exhibition DAS BLEIBT, the Municipal Gallery Bremen, forms the setting for the performance. Individual pieces from this served as a starting point for artistic dialogue.

Dance performance

60 minutes, premiere on 30.11.2022 at the Städtische Galerie Bremen

By: Magali Sander Fett

In the form of a dance intervention, TanzKollektivBremen is related to works of the exhibition “CKD – Completely knocked down (Recife Bremen Connection)” in the Municipal Gallery. In the performance, the theme of the exhibition, breaking down a product into its individual parts, is further developed in dance. Complex movements are fragmented and reassembled. In the interplay of music, dance and video, grotesque forms and new body creatures are created.

The dance dialogues of “Dialogue of the Bodies” on the cultural imprint of bodies are extended to include the perspectives of a guest performer and a doctor, whose preoccupation with dance usually takes place more behind the scenes. In ›A dance copy‹ – a duet about injuries and border crossings – Magali Sander Fett meets the dance medicine doctor Eileen Wanke. In the performance ›Your Body‹, Tom Bünger and the contemporary composer Riccardo Castagnola deal with power, manipulation and the desire for closeness. Both pieces combine the question of when your own body becomes an object.

Five dancers explore the world of football with artistic means. They want to learn what they can't: play football. What is the “choreography” on the court? What rules and regulations are there?

“Dialogue of the Bodies” deals in two duets with the cultural imprinting of bodies. “Pas des deux” takes on the motif of the same name from the classical ballet: what does the “step to two” look like as a contemporary couple dance that reserves all eventualities? “One” is inspired by Shakespeare’s love sonnets and the symptoms of the condition of Huntington’s disease. How do desires and jealousy come together with the involuntary, uncoordinated movements of the so-called Vitus dance?

By: Magali Sander Fett

In 1968 Johann Kresnik founded his choreographic theatre at the Theater Bremen. 50 years later, the TanzKollektivBremen deals with 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. Five dancers create a personal relationship with the pictures in thirty-one sketches and use them like a slide. The choreography of Magali Sander Fett is a performative examination of power relations and polarities. Experiences, feelings, but also the origin and generation of the dancers involved are formed into a reinterpretation of the drawings from today’s point of view.

Can you dance water? And how can a narrative be moved Translate? Inspired by the stories of the author John von Düffel Do the dancers deal with water in his Different manifestations: rivers, sea, rain, fog, ice. Together they immerse themselves in pictorial associations along the texts, physical sensations and mental conditions: “I am standing by Beach and look at the winter-smooth water. Where it rests, where it is stir. The ice is very delicate and vulnerable, like the skin over a cold milk... soft ice water fluff.” (John von Düffel, “Water Narrative”, DuMont: Cologne, 2014)
