From Goethe Institut:
The Goethe-Institut initiates an artist talk on 21st of February with Anna Konjetzky. She presents excerpts from her experimental, minimalist dance pieces and comment on background of the contemporary dance scene in Germany.
In preparation for the European – Asian dance festival, Anna Konjetzky, one of the best-known young choreographers in Germany, together with ballet master Sahra Huby will give a one-week workshop in Hanoi at Vietnam National Opera and Ballet (VNOB) from 18th till 22nd of February. The piece “On the Edge” has been developed specifically for six Vietnamese dancers of VNOB and six German dancers and will be performed at the end of September as part of “Europe meets Asia in Contemporary Dance 2013”.
Anna Konjetzky was born in Munich in 1980 and studied at the international physical theater school “Lassaad” (J. Lecoq method) in Brussels, as well as contemporary dance, Butoh and Body Weather in Brussels and Berlin. Her work always creates a harmonious blend of dance, music and body images. She uses the body as an element of friction with the space. She addresses themes that move between transparency and solidity, brutality and poetry, intimacy and distance. The latter is for the choreographer also a question of the role of the spectator within a project and its space.
