Course description "Hypothetical Stream" by W. Forsythe
Composition and repertoire
from 11 to 15, from 09.30 to 15.00
from 18 to 22, from 12.00 to 15.00
The dancers will be offered a workshop around the theme of a piece from the Forsythe repertoire called," Hypothetical Stream". The dancers will learn basic skills in figurative improvisation, drawing lines with the body, correlating to and inspired by the drawings of GiambattistaTiepolo. The drawings have many different characters in them and the dancers will create connections between these characters and the associative stories that come out of the dancer's physical interaction with movements suggested within the drawings. Remembering both intended and unintended movements the dancers will create their own solos and group material to work on. The Forsythe piece called "Hypothetical Stream" is really a forum in which dancers are asked to analyze classical drawings by the Italian painter to find geometrical relations within the paintings' subjects. The tools the dancers will use to analyze the drawings are outlined on the Forsythe CD Rom, "Improvisation Technologies". As we familiarize ourselves from day to day with the material on the CD Rom the students will begin to see the paintings in very different ways. This allows the student to see the material not as a fixed picture of a dance but rather more like a 3-dimensional sculpture that can be taken apart, examined in detail, remolded and put back together in different configurations. This will lead them to a comfortable balance between the conscious, analytical decision making and the unconscious, associative flow that is the other, more intuitive, half of this improvisation experience. After a few days of this it will seem natural to discuss and constructively criticize the decisions of speed-slowness, hardness-softness, simplicity-complexity and the other elements that make an abstract dance reach out to a public with more than just visual stimulation.
Thomas McManus 1963 U.S.A. Coming from a farm on the great plains of Illinois, Thomas is a graduate of the North Carolina School of the Arts. Early work and experience was found in New York through venues such as improvisational performances at Westbeth Studios, dancing with a Chamber Ballet repertory company, a season with American Ballet Theater II, and the Broadway musical Cats. A desire to live and work in Europe led him to Germany where he danced from 1986-99 with William Forsythe and the Ballett Frankfurt taking part in most of the newly created ballets during that time. Since 1999 he has been a member of the performance group "commerce" which he founded together with Nik Haffner. He is currently choreographing for many different venues, teaches Forsythe repertory to major Ballet companies and teaches improvisation workshops all over Europe and America.
