Introduction Forsythe has outdone himself. Four works by the great choreographer make for a pleasurable evening as the bodies of the outstanding dancers coordinate, fly, find themselves again—in other words, dance—on an empty stage with no sound accompanying them except their own bodies. If anyone could be described as

PRECIADO,VALÉRIE SOLANAS, MONIQUE WITTIG, ITZIAR ZIGA / DAVID BOBÉE 04 Oct. 2021 — 1900 T900 Aquiet evening at the Onassis Stegi.When the music stops, Onassis Stegi dances. William Forsythe, the American choreographer who “electrified” ballet, outdone himself and created entire worlds using nothing but the human body, space and time.Four works by the great choreographer make for a pleasurable evening as the bodies of the outstanding dancers WILLIAM FORSYTHE Raised in New York and initially trained in Florida with Nolan Dingman and Christa Long, Forsythe danced with the Joffrey Ballet and later the Stuttgart Ballet, where he was appointed Resident Choreographer in 1976. Over the next seven years, he created new works for the Stuttgart ensemble and ballet companies in Munich, The Hague, London, Basel, Berlin, Frankfurt am Main, Paris, New York, and San Francisco. In 1984, he began a 20-year tenure as director of the Ballet Frankfurt, where he created works such as Artifact 1984, Impressing the Czar 1988, Limb’s Theorem 1990, The Loss of Small Detail 1991, A L I E / N ACTION 1992, EidosTelos 1995, Endless House 1999, Kammer/Kammer 2000, and Decreation 2003. After the closure of the Ballet Frankfurt in 2004, Forsythe established a new ensemble, The Forsythe Company, which he directed from 2005 to 2015. Works produced with this ensemble include Three Atmospheric Studies 2005, You made me a monster 2005, Human Writes 2005, Heterotopia 2006, The Defenders 2007, Yes we can’t 2008/2010, I don’t believe in outer space 2008 and Sider 2011. Forsythe’s works developed during this time were performed exclusively by The Forsythe Company, while his earlier pieces are prominently featured in the repertoire of virtually every major ballet company in the world, including the Mariinsky Ballet, New York City Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, National Ballet of Canada, Semperoper Ballet Dresden, England’s Royal Ballet and the Paris Opera Ballet. More recently Forsythe has created original works for the Paris Opera Ballet Blake Works I, English National Ballet Playlist Track 1,2, Boston Ballet Playlist EP, as well as A Quiet Evening of Dance produced by Sadler’s Wells Theatre London and The Barre Project Blake Works II created for the digital stage. Awards received by Forsythe and his ensembles include the New York Dance and Performance “Bessie” Award 1988, 1998, 2004, 2007 and London’s Laurence Olivier Award 1992, 1999, 2009. Forsythe has been conveyed the title of Commandeur des Arts et Lettres 1999 by the government of France and has received the Hessischer Kulturpreis/ Hessian Culture Award 1995, the German Distinguished Service Cross 1997, the Wexner Prize 2002 the Golden Lion of the Venice Biennale 2010, the Samuel H Scripps / American Dance Festival Award for Lifetime Achievement 2012 and the German Theater Award FAUST for Lifetime Achievement 2020. Forsythe has been commissioned to produce architectural and performance installations by architect-artist Daniel Libeskind Groningen, 1989, ARTANGEL London,1997, Creative Time New York, 2005, and the SKD – Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden 2013, 2014. These Choreographic Objects, as Forsythe calls his installations, include among others White Bouncy Castle 1997, City of Abstracts 2000, Nowhere and Everywhere at the Same Time No. 2 2013, Black Flags 2014, Underall 2017 and Unsustainables 2019. His installation and film works have been presented in numerous museums and exhibitions, including the Whitney Biennial New York, 1997, Louvre Museum 2006, Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich 2006, Tate Modern London, 2009, MoMA New York 2010, Venice Biennale 2005, 2009, 2012, 2014, MMK – Museum für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt, 2015, 20th Biennale of Sydney 2016, ICA Boston 2011, 2018, Museum Folkwang 2019 and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston 2020.In collaboration with media specialists and educators, Forsythe has developed new approaches to dance documentation, research, and education. His 1994 computer application Improvisation Technologies A Tool for the Analytical Dance Eye, developed with the ZKM / Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie Karlsruhe, is used as a teaching tool by professional companies, dance conservatories, universities, postgraduate architecture programs, and secondary schools worldwide. 2009 marked the launch of Synchronous Objects for One Flat Thing, reproduced, a digital online score developed with The Ohio State University that reveals the organizational principles of the choreography and demonstrates their possible application within other disciplines. Synchronous Objects was the pilot project for Forsythe's Motion Bank, a research platform focused on the creation and research of online digital scores in collaboration with guest choreographers. As an educator, Forsythe is regularly invited to lecture and give workshops at universities and cultural institutions. In 2002, Forsythe was chosen as one the founding Dance Mentor for The Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative. Forsythe is an Honorary Fellow at the Laban Centre for Movement and Dance in London and holds an Honorary Doctorate from The Juilliard School in New York. WilliamForsythe tells Sarah Crompton in her program interview that his goal is ‘to make people see ballet better’ but it is immediately apparent in A Quiet Evening of Dance that in order to make Trustees, Belarus Free Theatre with the Malthouse and Melbourne International Arts Festival, Beckett Theatre at The Coopers Malthouse Theatre, Sunday October 21st 2018 "Trustees", a co-production by the directors of Belarus Free Theatre, The Malthouse Theatre and the Melbourne International Arts Festival was presented at the Beckett Theatre, at The Coopers Malthouse on Sunday October 21st 2018 For those new to my blog I write about the holistic experience of attending the theatre. I buy my own tickets. So if you want a re-telling of the story please refer to the links for further information or for further insights. Note, that I may provide different links for repeated main words or phrases. I write for my memories of what I have seen, and is more of a stream of consciousness. "Trustees" was written by Natalia Kaliada and Nicolai Khalezin, with Daniel Schlusser and the cast. Before the Beckett Theatre doors were open, the cast came into the foyer. They were recognisable as they all sported a radio microphone over one of their ears. The show began when the cast mingled with the audience. I knew from reading about the show that we were going to be asked to vote at a forum. I was surprised that audience members were not immersed into the experience by registering, and being given name badges as attendees, for the forum. This would have built up the audience's expectations a notch - as if really attending a forum prior to entry. Directed by Natalia Kaliada and Nicolai Khalezin from the Belarus Free Theatre have created a work that leaves you with more questions than answers. It is a thought provoking work but stirred up more issues that were not dealt with in the production. The programme listed the cast and crew, though I cannot understand why the names of the characters were not listed as each character was designated a name. It is easier to refer to the programme and name the character than to describe the role played by insert a name here. Special thanks were made to Brad McEwan as the newsreader that provided segues and news updates between many scenes. Sadly no further information was given. I do not know what Dushan Philips' role in the production was, as no details were provided in the programme. Movement Direction by Briget Fiske provided a range of sequences dance moves, fight sequences and aerial counter-balance work. The final image was the strongest statement in the show and is discussed in more detail below. Lighting Design by Amelai Lever-Davidson helped create a variety of atmospheres. No credit was supplied as to who created the videos or the graphics for the show. Maybe it was Dushan Philips? Maybe this was another of the unanswered questions for the audience to consider? Set and Costume Design by Romanie Harper provided a range of costumes that were functional for the requisite behaviour of different characters. The board room table with three sliding chambers was clever as it hid the shallow bath and two garden beds. Banks of seating were positioned on all four sides of the opened Beckett Theatre. Four white chairs in a diamond shape stood in the centre of the area. Two chairs stood upright, while the other two chairs were tilted forward warning us of future events. The set also comprised the use of a television camera in one corner with six television monitors above the audience. Three monitors were positioned above each of the two longer sides of the stage. The original cast listed in The Malthouse Theatre brochure for their 2018 Season changed to who actually collaborated and acted in the show. I appreciate the cast list can be changed due to availability or other issues. From a theatre history perspective I am noting this for future reference as I am sure many patrons are unaware of the change. Acting wise left a lot to be desired as they all over-acted to the point of being cringe-worthy. Had the cast been more naturalistic and evolved their performances would have made more of an impact. I appreciate the show was a satire and the opening two scenes could have worked better with less is more. The opening sequence where Hazem Shammas entered as the facilitator was nearly in-audible as his diction was so mumbled and his pace was so fast. The over the top enthusiasm was nearly like a television games show. The other cast members were introduced as guests for the opening debate. One actress was asked a question and she introduced herself. She also asked "What was the question?" This was doubly funny after her introduction and because Hazem Shammas was speaking so fast and with poor diction, I too could not understand the question. Thankfully he repeated it. We had the sham debate with four different perspectives. Sitting on our side of the theatre is where I guessed the directors mainly directed the work. There was a vote online with the television monitors displaying the website for voting. I did not bother as I suspected it was all a hoax vote. Audience members were adamant to vote and have their say, which was interesting as it highlighted the corruption in some societies with voting. The debate was naive and simplistic with government funded arts versus not funding the arts. The debate revealed a lack of business acumen from the collaborators. They did not debate or reveal any other business models for artists, and showed a narrow view and a lack of financial and business management from the collaborators. A television news broadcast would appear from time to time to create segues between scenes. We were being exposed to fantasy versus reality - fake news etc. What is fake and fact? What is perspective or a different slant on a story? The second major scene was a board room for the Lone Pine Theatre Company and trying to work out ways to survive. This was demonstrated as a brainstorming activity with lots of feet on the table and power play. Many of the ideas of various theme parks had a contemporary reference to the television show "Westworld". The ideas were under-cooked at times as they did not fully explore possibilities. There were some wonderful images through the show that I felt made more of impact with the less is more approach. My favourite image was when Daniel Schlusser set the table ablaze. We witnessed the impact of the "slash and burn" with the funding/budget cuts to their theatre company. I recall looking up to see both exit signs when Daniel lit the flame on the table top. A table cloth was produced to douse the flames. The actors were cognisant by ensuring that all embers had been extinguished. I congratulate them on their safety concerns. Natasha Herbert set out the serviettes for each seating placement. Her eagle eye was checking to ensure no flame had reignited underneath the tablecloth. The board members covered their faces with their serviettes as if veils had the cultural subservience element. Here the artists were subservient to the government, funding bodies and sponsors. This was another strong image. When Daniel Schlusser stripped bare exposing himself physically and emotionally, he was also revealing how artists are publicly put on display. This scene also showed how financial transparency is important within funding. When he is bathed in the centre of the table it has religious undertones of a baptism or a re-birth, or being cleansed and purified to complete the funding applications in accordance with the whim of the next government policy. Natasha Herbert suddenly could now walk without the aid of her walking stick. It was a miracle! Or was it? She sat and took out an avocado, cut it in two and stabbed the seed to extricate it. She then placed the seed into the wooden fruit box. This was a wonderful image of planting the seeds into a treasure chest. She sat and spooned out the contents of half the avocado. Again this was a wonderful image of the younger generation being criticised for eating smashed avocado, rather than saving for a deposit for their future home. This image also referred to the waste of money given to some, and living in the now. When Natasha Herbert planted the poppies into the soil at the two ends of the table it was as if she was planting seeds of ideas. She was nurturing, cultivating, and growing her crops for the future of Australian society. She needed to water the plants, and water is a scarce and valuable resource - as is money for the arts funding. Her story contrasted the freedom we have in Australia compared to Nazi Germany. In fact, her story paid homage to all totalitarian regimes of the past, present and future. Tammy Anderson also stripped. She moaned and groaned as she made her way around the entire stage to ensure that everyone in the audience could see her nakedness. She mixed powder with the water, and then smeared herself in white paint ceremoniously. She seemed to be providing sexual favours for her art. Nothing is new about the casting couch with the "Me Too" movement. She provides Daniel Schlusser with the table-cloth to cover his wet body both as a towel and with the toga image from the Roman Forum. Remember we are attending a forum and now gaining insight into the five characters via their monologues. Interestingly, the costume design included only one pair of coloured shoes. These were the red shoes worn by Niharika Senapati. The red shoes stood out as both power dressing, and also referencing the fantasy of Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz" and wanting to go home to Kansas. This was a clever piece of subtle costume design as there was a theme of homeland throughout. The red shoes created a message of hope for the future. Niharika Senapati began as if Ellen DeGeneres interviewing audience members about "do you like audience participation?" She would kneel before or sit on the knee of an audience member. She went to each of the four sides of the theatre. Then she proceeded into more audience participation with different dance moves for the four sides of the theatre. We even were instructed in a Mexican wave arm movement. She ran around the theatre first clockwise and then counter-clockwise to see the audience demonstrate this wave of movement. She proceeded to dance until three actors entered and restrained her. They held her down that produced a magical moment of cause and consequences. My favourite image of the show was when Niharika Senapati was restrained by the three actors. The three actors bound her feet into the ends of a thick rope. The three actors pulled the three ropes to the section of rope with an obvious knot to ensure they did not lose their grip. They then hoisted her upside down. Niharika Senapati was lifted off the ground feet first as if an aerialist. The image reminded me of an upside version of a physical reckoning from "The Handmaid's Tale". More so, this image reminded me of how these theatre companies are being strung up financially and artistically. It made me question "who is pulling the strings here?" and "which of the three people has the most influence in funding, cultural and artistic decisions?" This scene was where the censorship theme was strongest as we saw the consequences of non-compliance or non-conformity. I yearned for more of these type of succinct and powerful resonating messages as per this simple scene. The five extended monologues were at times, as if they were all vying for their voice to be heard. It was a competition for who had the most sensational or depraved story to lure us into potentially gain our empathy. After chaos the five returned as if at the end of the debate. The forum was concluded and left more questions unanswered for the audience to ponder. This ending was an academic approach to leaving a question for the future. The show rammed messages down our throats. It was didactic and too long. In fact it was ten minutes longer than the ninety minutes that was originally advertised on the Malthouse Theatre website. The whole theme of censorship did not discuss enough about freedom of speech or freedom of thought. It did not expose the elitism of some artists and arts boards or bodies with their own in-house censorship. Will "Trustees" survive for another two hundred years as a work of literature or a piece of theatre? No, it will be revamped into another format by new artists thinking that they are being innovative. "Trustees" begs the question of whether this is theatre for now or the future. This production is a contemporary piece of theatre with a limited life. The arguments for funding and censorship will regurgitate throughout history and will create an opportunity for some playwright to create a timeless work. With some refinement "Trustees" could be more cohesive and provide more articulate messages. The arguments for funding and censorship have been around since nearly the beginning of performances. What stood out is that we are lucky in Australia that artists are able to voice their work compared to other countries. "Trustees" will make a good festival touring project to justify the Australian taxpayer's contribution to the arts. "Trustees" received a generous 7/10 from both my partner and I. Note the following postscript is from my memories of seeing shows and interviews Postscript - historical memories The play "Trustees" opened up my memory vault to write this post script. Hence in the back of my mind I had reservations about the production. The production made me think of the cyclical nature of censorship and how lucky we are in Australia to be able to debate these issues, compared to some countries where you would be jailed or sentenced to death for debating let alone presenting a controversial work. There have been many plays and works of art that have caused controversy and campaigns or protests for censorship in Australia. These include "Corpus Christi" was presented at The Athenaeum Theatre in January 2001 where Jesus Christ was portrayed as a homosexual. Protests occurred outside the theatre at every performance. I do not think this play would have been presented after September 11th 2001. As such, it is amazing what a date can do to change perspective of a controversy and censorship. Tivoli Theatre Melbourne where the topless ladies had to stand perfectly still or would be arrested by the Victoria Police Vice Squad. "Hair" both in Sydney and Melbourne, "Oh Calcutta", "Let My People Come", and "The Boys In the Band" all had the Victoria Police Vice Squad watching carefully to ensure that no breaches occurred. The news of "Oh Calcutta" being banned by order of the Supreme Court of Victoria hit the New York Times in 1970. The New Theatre in NSW even has a history of censorship. The financial gains for a controversial work "American Hurrah" by Jean Claude van Italie are also given in this link to the New Theatre. There are many articles about censorship in the arts in Australia. Sir Robert Helpmann even commented about the nude dancing in a ballet with two famous quotes "The trouble with nude dancing is that not everything stops when the music stops." "I think you can be contemporary without taking your clothes off." Even amateur shows copped censorship with the following "Thurber's Carnival" by James Thurber was presented with caution, as it was nearly banned, at the 20th Wagga Wagga School of Arts Drama Festival in 1974. The play was controversial as the work was deemed inappropriate and lewd for the youth performing the work from Canberra Youth Theatre. "The Serpent", also by Jean Claude van Italie was banned in Adelaide at a drama competition, and also was banned at the Kyneton Festival of One Act Plays in 1973. An article written for The Age had the title "Hasn't Wagga Changed" by a journalist who did not see the play at Wagga Wagga. The Age article alerted the Adelaide committee to a potential controversy. In Adelaide, the director Norman Sotherby had also directed "Ritual For Dolls" by George MacEwan Green and said to the adjudicator that "this play was more offensive" and yet was allowed to be performed. In Kyneton the committee had a similar reaction. The committee relented and allowed "The Serpent" to compete but was only allowed to be performed in front of the adjudicator, Simon Hopkinson, with no audience present. Marketing leverage Some works of art have successfully leveraged off their controversy and potentially crossing censorship boundaries. These include "Chloe" at Young and Jackson's Hotel in Melbourne where many articles were written about covering the painting over. The famous "David" statue by Michelangelo and many other works of art have had articles written about it and covering up the genitalia with a fig leaf. The famous controversy in Australia with the Bill Henson photographs, as well as the "Piss Christ" by Andres Serrano controversy where it was vandalised as a result of being offensive and sacrilegious. As such these controversial works create marketing opportunities for organisations to leverage and cash in on their notoriety. "The Blue Room" play by David Hare was produced both in Australia and overseas. Nicole Kidman starred in the London production and is an example of the sensationalism of the nude scenes for marketing and publicity, which increased sales. "Equus" by Peter Shaffer was another play that successfully used its controversial content and nude scene, with the stabbing and blinding of the horses. This play received an "R" restricted rating in some cities in Australia. There is a book called "Banned Plays" by Dawn B. Sova that outlines 125 banned plays through history. She gives examples going back to 411 BC and even includes the Melbourne controversy of "The Boys In The Band". Trigger warnings Trigger warnings are occurring more in schools, universities and the media. Trigger warnings are used for many reasons to alert students, patrons or viewers of any potentially distressing material or scenes - such as violence, sexual material, loud noise, cigarette smoking etc. I understand also the medical consequences that strobe lighting, loud noises or smoke can affect some people. I understand why trigger warnings are being used, but this made me think that the trigger warnings can be an example of censorship - by preparing audiences for a possible event that can dilute the impact of any message. However the trigger warning signs prior to entry at "Song for a Weary Throat" were not successful as they should have made a vocal announcement before the show to allow patrons to obtain a set of headphones to muffle the loud crashes. Many patrons covered their ears. After the show a few people asked where we obtained the headphones, and they were shocked as they did not see the trigger warning sign before entering the theatre.

Home Agenda A Quiet Evening of DanceThéâtre & Danse William Forsythe Dans A Quiet Evening of Dance, William Forsythe réalise une brillantissime traversée de l’histoire de la danse académique, en remontant jusqu’à son origine le ballet de cour sous le règne de Louis XIV. En première partie, le chorégraphe américain décompose en les réarticulant principes et bases de la technique classique. Pourtant, rien d’aride dans ce précis de danse, car, impulsant ici une torsion, là une dynamique coulée, là encore un étirement exacerbé, Forsythe et ses interprètes confèrent une vitalité et une séduction contemporaines à la langue ancienne. Point d’orgue d’un divertimento qui opère la synthèse du Grand Siècle et du XXIe siècle, la création Seventeen/Twenty-One, sur une musique de Jean-Philippe Rameau, assemble à petits points danse baroque et evolve, style particulièrement acrobatique du hip hop. Avec cette “tranquille soirée de danse”, claire et complexe, sophistiquée mais compréhensible, raffinée jusqu’à l’instinctif, Forsythe donne en partage la quintessence de son art une “belle danse” toute d’intelligence et de jouissance.
Entrele profane et le sacré, entre la modernité effrénée et l’attachement aux rites qui lui font encore rempart, Näss conjugue la dimension populaire et urbaine de la danse hip hop à l’aspect profondément rituel et sacré qu’elle peut représenter.

Posted October 10th, 2018 Author Filed under Performance Tags Ander Zabala, Brigel Gjoka, Christopher Roman, Dorothee Merg, Jill Johnson, Parvaneh Scharafali, Rauf “RubberLegz” Yasit, Riley Watts, Tanja Rühl, William Forsythe Comments Off on William Forsythe A Quiet Evening of Dance at Sadler’s WellsWilliam Forsythe, A Quiet Evening of Dance, Sadler’s Wells, October 4 Brigel Gjoka and Riley Watts in A Quiet Evening of Dance photo Bill Cooper William Forsythe tells Sarah Crompton in her program interview that his goal is to make people see ballet better’ but it is immediately apparent in A Quiet Evening of Dance that in order to make us see ballet better he is also making us hear ballet better. The program is divided into two parts, the first of which has four sections and the second just one. The title of each section in the first part is related etymologically to the Greek logos, or word Prologue, Catalogue, Epilogue and Dialogue, though not a word is spoken; they are performed in silence, to birdsong or, as in Epilogue, to a solo piano score by Morton Feldman. Costume designer Dorothee Merg adds to the sense of silence by muffling the dancers’ footware in lightweight brightly-coloured warmers or thick socks. The effect of silence concentrates our visual appreciation of the movement as if we are watching mime, an effect heightened by Merg’s covering the dancers’ arms in long, coloured gloves. If the costumes aid the silence, so does the lighting of Tanja Rühl. The denuded space of the Sadler’s Wells stage is like a light box that casts no shadows and maintains an even intensity that give individual shapes and colours a consummate clarity. In a visual environment that celebrates and enhances movement, Forsythe engages our attention in his plastic deconstruction of choreography into a catalogue of its structural components that he then rearticulates into diverse possibilities. For Forsythe, choreography’s manifold incarnations are a perfect ecology of idea-logics; they do not insist on a single path to form-of-thought and persist in the hope of being without enduring’. In this way, action becomes visible as spatial duration, from its emergence to its disappearance or mutation into another movement that generates a further action — a modulation of bodily thoughts, and felt motion that communicates through and across bodies. This physical thinking’ is what links a compelling evening, from silence to sound, and from choreographic logos to rich expression. Forsythe’s dancers are classically trained but have a muscular elasticity that allows them to explore his range of physical ideas to a degree that stretches beyond accepted classical form. In the opening Prologue Parvaneh Scharafali and Ander Zabala engage in a play of gesture that moves effortlessly in space but with Jill Johnson and Christopher Roman in Catalogue Forsythe enlarges the play of gesture to a successive articulation of the entire body. As they stand side by side Johnson and Roman engage in form of extended pas de deux without the partnering a long adagio in which they constantly exchange and challenge physical ideas, a couple of short variations, and a coda. It lasts long enough for us to grasp the rules of the game and perceive in its full catalogue of logos moments of flamboyance, nonchalance and wit. Epilogue is a cumulative development in which Scharafali, Zabala, Johnson and Roman are joined by Rauf “RubberLegz” Yasit in a vibrant use of body shapes and accented colours to layer responses to Morton Feldman’s piano music. The introduction of Yasit, as his moniker suggests, mixes up the vocabulary into a choreographic puzzle that would test any notator. This is the kind of unexpected conundrum in which Forsythe revels. Dialogue introduces two more dancers, Brigel Gjoka and Riley Watts, whose exploration of space is a corporal dialogue of beginnings without ends, a fluid stream of ideas that coil classical ballet around the most contemporary dance and yet astonish in their unruffled virtuosity. They finish their dialogue neatly in fifth position with arms casually held behind their backs. After the intermission Forsythe’s most recent work, Seventeen / Twenty One, beams with confidence, colour and music that are infectious from the outset; the choreographer is in scintillating and effulgent form. With the music of Jean-Philippe Rameau he has taken the ballet idiom closer to its courtly origins, but this is Forsythe’s baroque not that of Versailles; when Johnson enters for a duet with Roman she’s wearing a baseball cap. All the dancers generate a joy in the complexity of their tasks that matches the exuberance of Rameau’s orchestral miniatures; the score comes alive through their musicality. And if you think hip hop can’t be courtly, Forsythe gets “RubberLegz” Yasit to tie himself with exquisite musical timing into elegant knots from which he emerges serenely as if summoned suddenly by the King. In an evening of intellectual sensuality it’s a scene that brilliantly coalesces Forsythe’s exploration of choreographic form and ideas.

Retour © Bill Cooper Description En quatre courtes pièces, le chorégraphe William Forsythe éclaire les liens entre le baroque, le ballet classique, le hip-hop et la danse contemporaine. Une tranquille soirée de danse » un titre bien modeste pour l’un des plus grands chorégraphes actuels qui, depuis les années quatre-vingt, ne cesse de bouleverser les codes du classique. L’ancien maître du Ballet de Francfort, revisite dans ce spectacle deux perles de son répertoire, DUO2015 et Catalogue, auxquelles il ajoute deux nouvelles pièces. Conjuguant musiques de Bach, de Rameau ou de Morton Feldman et silences éloquents, William Forsythe puise dans le XVIIIe siècle qu’il voit comme le siècle de l’idéal néoplatonicien et des excès du baroque », tout en enlevant le superflu. Compagnons de longue date ou nouveaux venus issus du breakdance comme Rauf Yasit alias RubberLegz » jambes de caoutchouc », ses interprètes portent avec virtuosité le travail aussi précis qu’épuré du maître américain.

AQuiet Evening of Dance – William Forsythe Figure emblématique de la danse contemporaine, William Forsythe fait un retour attendu à la scène, après une pause de quelques années. En 45 ans de création, il n’a cessé de bousculer notre manière de regarder la danse et malgré cette révolution permanente, il n’a jamais perdu de vue son point de

They say it’s the quiet ones you have to watch out for. With its bare stage and low-key lighting and sound, with coloured gloves and shoes its sole ostentation, William Forsythe’s A Quiet Evening of Dance even the title feels reticent is the opposite of showy. But pay it close attention and it reveals a kind of introverted virtuosity that leaves you one opens with an intricate duet for Parvaneh Schafarali and Ander Zabala, its small steps and swift swerves as soft, beautiful and exacting as the birdsong on its soundtrack. There follows an astonishing duet by Jill Johnson and Christopher Roman who, accompanied only by the sound of our own hushed coughs and rustles, articulate detailed sequences of moves built on the intersection between the idealised geometries of ballet pointed foot, angled leg and the anatomical realities of the body the pivots, swivels and folds of shoulder, hip, knee or elbow. Undramatised yet utterly fascinating, it feels like a choreographic secret, offered freely, without sound returns, Morton Feldman’s atonal plinks forming a sparse background to more idiosyncratic danced episodes; one solo keeping the arms and hands close to the face, another showing, without fuss or flash, just how extraordinary b-boy Rauf “RubberLegz” Yasit earned his one ends with a reprise of a 2015 duet, to birdsong again, performed by Brigel Gjoka and Riley Watts. Beginning casually enough, it builds towards convoluted-yet-always-clear spins, skitters and knots, the two dancers echoing each other as if giving different expression to the same underlying two is a consummately crafted suite of dances, each ending quietly rather than climactically, and all beautifully phrased to courtly music by Jean-Philippe Rameau. There’s a gentle theatricality. Johnson and Roman come across as a couple, she preoccupied, he rather particular. There’s humour in Yasit’s lock-limbed, floor-bound interruption of an elegantly upright duet; sadness elsewhere, with bodies weighted as if by inner style, staging and effect are now far more conventional, we can almost see through these surfaces to the strange, spare structures of act one, lying beneath like a choreographic skeleton. It has been a rare and revelatory evening. At Sadler’s Wells, London, until 6 October. AQuiet Evening of Dance. Sous cet intitulé, William Forsythe signe une de ses productions les plus miraculeuses.

A Quiet Evening of Dance - Théâtre de la Ville Le Monday, November 4, 2019 Théâtre de la Ville Tarif DanseAujourdhui 24€ - Tarif plein 31€ En quarante-cinq ans de création, William Forsythe n’a cessé de bousculer notre manière de regarder la danse. Et malgré sa révolution permanente, il n’a jamais perdu de vue son point de départ le Ballet. A Quiet Evening of Dance, sa première soirée complète depuis la dissolution de sa compagnie en 2015, éclaire les liens entre baroque, classique, hip-hop et contemporain, par une suite de nouvelles et anciennes pièces. À l’acte premier, Forsythe dévoile sa grammaire personnelle du ballet, son sens de l’humour et son amour du détail, pour revenir, par l’acte second, vers la danse baroque et la musique de Rameau. Car entre le XVIIe et le XXIe siècle, sur un plateau de danse, le temps est courbe comme les jambes du B-Boy Rubberlegz, ici en scène aux côtés d’interprètes fétiches du chorégraphe. On en sort calme, serein et éclairé. Thomas Hahn pour le Théâtre de la Ville / Festival d'Automne Représentations au Théâtre du Châtelet William Forsythe WILLIAM FORSYTHE is recognized as one of the world’s foremost choreographers. His work is acknowledged for reorienting the practice of ballet from its identification with classical repertoire to a dynamic 21st century art form. Forsythes deep interest in the fundamental principles of organisation has led him to produce a wide range of projects including Installations, Films, and Web based knowledge creation.

Humour, sensitivity, provocation, response. Guiding them their rhythm and incredible coordination. Like the hands on an invisible clock, they record time, render it visible, expand and contract it by changing space and, ultimately, by opening the secret channel through which we communicate with it.“A Quiet Evening of Dance”Image1/4Photo © Carl FoxFriday 8 FebruaryAfter performance talk with dancers Cyril Baldy, Brigel Gjoka, Jill Johnson, Christopher Roman, Parvaneh Scharafali, Riley Watts, Rauf RubberLegz’ YasitChaired by Tassos Koukoutas, Dance TheoristCREDITSChoreographyWilliam Forsythe and Brigel Gjoka, Jill Johnson, Christopher Roman, Parvaneh Scharafali, Riley Watts, Rauf “RubberLegz“ Yasit and Ander ZabalaThe dancers areCyril Baldry, Brigel Gjoka, Jill Johnson, Christopher Roman, Parvaneh Scharafali, Riley Watts, Rauf RubberLegz’ YasitComposer/MusicMorton Feldman, Nature Pieces for Piano No 1’, from First Recordings 1950s – The Turfan Ensemble, Philipp Vandré © Mode for Epilogue’Composer/MusicJean‐Philippe Rameau, Hippolyte et Aricie Ritournelle, from Une Symphonie Imaginaire, Marc Minkowski & Les Musiciens du Louvre © 2005 Deutsche Grammophon GmbH, Berlin for Seventeen/ Twenty-One’LightingTanja Rühl & William ForsytheCostumesDorothee Merg & William ForsytheProductionSadler’s Wells LondonCo-produced withThéâtre de la Ville-Paris, le Théâtre du Châtelet and Festival d’Automne à Paris; Festival Montpellier Danse 2019; Les Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg; The Shed, New York; Onassis Stegi; deSingel international arts campus AntwerpTechniciansDirector of technical ProductionsAdam CarréeProduction Company Stage ManagerBob BagleyElectrician/RelighterGerald McDermottFor Sadler’s WellsChief Executive & Artistic DirectorAlistair Spalding CBEExecutive ProducerSuzanne WalkerHead of Producing & TouringBia OliveiraTour ProducerAristea CharalampidouProducing & Touring CoordinatorFlorent TriouxMarketing ManagerDaniel KingSenior Press ManagerCaroline AnsdellWardrobe SupervisorMiwa MitsuhashiFirst performed at Sadler’s Wells London on 4 October of the FEDORA - VAN CLEEF & ARPELS Prize for Ballet 2018William Forsythe has been choreographing for 45 years now. He has redefined ballet, transforming it from an art-form obsessed with repertoire into a dynamic, creative art free of all limitations. He is considered the most important choreographer of his evening’s seven dancers are among Forsythe’s closest and most trusted associates. Ideal performers, they can provide us with a profound, insider perspective on the physical work of ballet and shed light on Forsythe's life's work. The program is an international Onassis Stegi co-production.“Catalogue” was created for two ex-Forsythe dancers, Jill Johnson and Christopher Roman, who created their own company, the DANCE ON ENSEMBLE. Forsythe describes the project as "complex, almost Baroque". In this updated version, it becomes a trio with the addition of the talented Brit Rodemund, who is collaborating with Forsythe for the first time.“DUO2015” was originally created in 1996 for two dancers who would only use the front part of the stage. Today, it is danced by two male new version was premièred in 2015 and was subsequently included by Sylvie Guillem in her farewell programme. Guillem collaborated with Forsythe at a historic moment of his career on “In the middle somewhat elevated”, which he created in 1987 for the Paris Opera Ballet, then under the direction of Rudolf Nureyev. With its electrifying atmosphere and eccentric equilibria, its pulse and constantly shifting relationships, the choreography would change the course of dance forever and turn both the choreographer and his dancers Sylvie Guillem, Laurent Hilaire, Isabelle Guérin and Manuel Legris into instantly-recognizable mediaIf you want to enjoy embedded rich media, please customize your cookie settings to allow for Performance and Targeting cookies.
