For the third time, the TanzQuelle initiative is bringing together local dancers and international choreographers for an evening of dance at HochX. The evening begins at 7pm with a program in the foyer. Choreographer Cristina D’Alberto will present her project “Entering TIME: the intergeneration movement explorer” and record impressions from the performers and the audience.

This will be followed by the two-part evening program “Co-Creation Lab”. The “Co-Creation Lab” production format presents its results on the HochX stage and offers Munich dancers the opportunity for artistic exploration with a guest choreographer. This promotes new creative approaches, improves the dancers’ skills and contributes to better networking within the Munich dance scene. In the 2024 edition, Constantin Georgescu was invited, who had already presented a creation in the 2022 edition. This decision reflects the desire of performers Bianca Bauer, Eléonore Bovet, Laura Manz, Paula Niehoff and João Santiago for continuity. Georgescu’s choreographic spectrum ranges from ballet reconstructions and contemporary dance pieces to multimedia installations and dance videos.

In the improvisation session entitled “Fresh Made Jam”, Munich-based performers Sophie Charlotte Becker, Matteo Carvone and Emmanuelle Rizzo present the results of research into improvisational tools for an interactive performance. The session integrates participatory elements to actively involve the audience and guests.

Image description: Two dancing bodies can be seen in a lifting figure. The person at the back – in dark training clothes – can be seen from the knees to the shoulders and is lifting the person in front upside down. She can be seen from behind, wearing an olive green top, blue pants and a braided blond pigtail.
