Double bill: The City - A Skipping Piece

During this double bill, we will present two short dance performances together: Farmer Train Swirl – Étude by Cassiel Gaube and The City - A skipping piece by Andreas Hannes. From house moves to skipping, all in one evening.

Cassiel Gaube found the moves for Farmer Train Swirl – Étude in house dance – a style born in the clubs of Chicago and New York in the early eighties. Moves, grooves and attitudes intertwine in fleeting constellations, unfurling the precise lexicon of steps of house dance. Along the way, space is left open for the unexpected to occur and for a hybrid dance to emerge. A playful investigation of transformations.

In Andreas Hannes’ The City - A skipping piece, two performers enter the stage to begin a stream of skipping, creating pathways and outlining geometries, while repositioning themselves in the imaginary grid of a city.

The City is the first stage outcome of the practice of continuous skipping (as in skipping down the street). The performance received the Moving Forward Trajectory Award 2018, that offers to one graduated and promising choreographer the opportunity to develop him/herself and his/her work during one year.
