Forum

Die dreiteilige Gesprächsreihe Forum endet mit dem Themenabend Erinnerung. Das Wort Erinnerung geht auf das Vermögen zurück, in der Zeit zu reisen und Momente des Magischen hervorzurufen, die je nach Formen des sich Erinnerns, auch Themen wie Schönheit und Gewalt ins Bewusstsein rücken. Wie erinnert der Körper? Der Tanzwissenschaftler und Pädagoge Stephan Brinkmann zeigt in seinem Buch Bewegung erinnern beispielhaft auf, wie diese Zeitreisen des Körpers im Proben und Performen von Pina Bauschs Sacre stattfinden. Das Panel Erinnerung rückt den Standort Berlin ins Zentrum. Eine Stadt die zwischen Traditionsversuchen, Verbindungslinien und Brückenschlägen multipler Genres queere Handschriften generiert: Wie blickt die Tänzerin Alicia Ruben, eine in Berlin geborene, ausgebildete und engagierte Künstlerin am Staatsballett auf die Handschriften verschiedener Choreograf*innen? Was brauchte Oxana Chi, um über 30 Jahre als zeitgenössische queere Schwarze Tanzschaffende durch Selbstarchivieren sichtbar zu bleiben? Wie erforscht die interdisziplinäre Akademikerin und Künstlerin Layla Zami das Performen von Erinnerung? Wie entwickelt Agnes Kern, tanzwissenschaftlich ausgebildet, neue Wege um sich mit dem Archivieren von Tanz zu befassen, ohne Kataloge anzulegen?

Für Antworten auf diese Fragen treffen sich die in Berlin wirkenden Gäste im moderierten Gesprächsabend «Erinnrung»:

Mit:
Agnes Kern – Projektleitung 2022/23, TanzArchiv Berlin
Alicia Ruben – Tänzerin am Staatsballett Berlin
Oxana Chi – Freischaffende Tänzerin, Choreografin, Kuratorin, Dozentin
Dr. Layla Zami – Akademikerin und Musikerin, FU Berlin

Moderation:
Dr. Mariama Diagne – SFB 1512 Intervenierende Künste

With the new three-part discussion series Forum featuring Dr. Mariama Diagne, the Staatsballett Berlin continues the dialogue between theory and practice, which has opened up discussion spaces with formats like Ballet for Future. Guests and the audience are invited to engage with a central aspect of the performing arts on three evenings in the foyer of the Deutsche Oper Berlin: How are emotions portrayed in artistic works? Which elements in artistic body practices evoke emotions in what way? What influence do they have on dance as an art form?

Forum discusses the ambivalences of the three concepts, «Beauty,» «Violence,» «Memory,» and their interconnection with the art of dance. These three concepts are not only central themes of tragedies and comedies that shape life and art. They are fundamental facets of human existence. Through them, not only cultural identity is articulated but also norms of societal forms of (co-)existence. What primarily connects beauty, violence, and memory is that they are highly charged with emotions. In the complex network, these three concepts influence human actions and create a fabric of memory images from shared experiences.

The Forum for the 2023/24 season is held in cooperation with the Collaborative Research Center 1512 «Intervening Arts» at the Freien Universität Berlin under the concept and direction of Dr. Mariama Diagne.<o:p></o:p>
