This project deals with the juxtaposition between “to have”/ materialism and “to be”/ idealism in relation to the career of a professional dancer marked by constant up and downs, and by the strives for perfection or success. The body movement is shaped by the architecture of the performance location . This site-specific performance also contributes to the sustainability of dance, as the public location makes it more accessible to a general audience, involving both intentional and unintentional spectators. This performative approach can lead to a broader interest for dance, an art form which usually lacks of extensive exposure

WERT

subsTANZ is the label under which the choreographer Massimo Gerardi presents his new dance projects in the Free-Scene. Dealing with actual and relevant themes of our contemporary society, the productions range from creations for conventional stages to site-specific projects. Theme-linked research on movement and occasionally on the spoken word leads the choreographer Massimo Gerardi to stage situations which both capture and challenge the audiences. Since 2012 international dancers, composers and set/costume designers have been highlighted in manifold productions of subsTANZ which have been financed a.o. by Kulturstiftung des Freistaates Sachen, Amt für Kultur und Denkmalschutz Dresden and NPN Munich, in cooperation with museums, theatres, universities and production centres
