ALLREADY

16 December 2008 - 19 December 2008 Allready stands for beginning and for present potential.

Beginning is a special process. It has its own dynamics and is at the same time accompanied by doubts, fears and curiosity, visions and ambitions. Beginning throws up questions

How do choreographers see the conditions for emerging? What holds them back in their work and development? What saps their energy? Where do they need start-up help? Who do they need for it? What role does the network play in which and out of which choreographies develop? How does one become part of this network? Where does the discussion material for emerging performers in the encounter with the surroundings come from? Where do the incentives for the analysis of particular themes in their work come from? What definitions of "body", "dance" and "movement" crop up in the approaches to work?
Where is the on-stage analysis of one’s own creation taking spectators and artists? And why not just turn the tables and maintain that artists and their works need emerging recipients?

Allready is thematically divided into three parts. In parallel, for the whole week there will also be TQW training with emerging trainers.

The opening on 16 December with Mădălina Dan and Eleanor Bauer, who ironically-critically investigate their own choreographic practice, is intended to encourage laypeople as well as professionals to become involved themselves as "emerging" performers in the following "power" day. In workshops, Eduard Gabia and Linda Samaraveerowá bring all those interested closer to their choreographic language and ask: what does it mean to draft choreographies and convey forms of working today?

In a somewhat different feedback session on 18 December, choreographers can analyse their work together with people who may indeed have had contact with the performance world but have never been involved in an exchange with an artist about the content. Different generations with different biographies – according to the thesis – receive a work in different ways. The emerging spectators with their perspectives are available to choreographers and illuminate aspects of reception that perhaps have not yet been considered. The evening is on the trail of the mysterious Rea Ladly and surprises with first choreographic works.

The last TQW programme day in 2008 is on 19 December and is totally devoted to the future and the people who wish to become emergers around a choreography. All those interested can meet various players in the network (dramaturges, production managers, events organisers, technicians, critics and theoreticians) and ask them questions, discuss with them, inform them or just listen to them.

Where do I come from and where am I going? To be announced – three performative sketches that have been developed specially for this programme island – dedicate themselves to this question on stage. The young choreographers invited reflect the future past and take up the analysis of their own artistic practice in the 20th century. (Im)possible?
