FESTIVAL FOR PERFORMING ARTS
30.6.–3.7.2022

Tedious Work are YOU… and Paul Norman & Leander Ripchinsky.

Tedious Work imagine themselves as a band in the middle of a world tour. They imagine they are getting tired with playing their debut album “Trennungssongs of Togetherness“ for person after person after person. The inevitable shift is under way. They update their old material, trying to breathe new life into it as they covertly sneak in new songs, but always in such a way that it doesn’t stop the audience from singing along. Tedious Work are on the cusp, a second-year slump, wading in the murk before a new album must inevitably be played, in full, and without an encore.

It currently unites 20 soloists from Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, India, Israel, Japan, the USA and Switzerland, illustrating the culturally diverse background of the ensemble. Based in Frankfurt am Main, the ensemble is known for its unique democratic organisation and working method. Artistic projects, partnerships and financial matters are decided and implemented jointly. Its unique and distinctive programming includes musical theatre works, dance and video projects, chamber music, ensemble and orchestral concerts. Tours and guest appearances have taken it to the most renowned festivals and distinguished performance venues.

The ensemble strives to achieve the highest possible degree of authenticity by working closely with the composers themselves. The musicians rehearse an average of 70 new works every year, 20 of which are world premieres. Its work is characterised by extraordinary and often long-term cooperative ventures with renowned artists, such as John Adams, Mark Andre, George Benjamin, Peter Eötvös, Brian Ferneyhough, Heiner Goebbels, Hans Werner Henze, Mauricio Kagel, György Kurtág, Helmut Lachenmann, György Ligeti, Olga Neuwirth, Enno Poppe, Rebecca Saunders, Simon Steen-Andersen, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Steve Reich, Frank Zappa or Vito Žuraj, as well as outstanding artist personalities from other artistic genres.

Paul Pape studies art at the Offenbach University for Art and Design. In previous works, Paul Pape has already recorded movements of the wind with a kind of wind-drawing-machine and has also combined this idea with a specially developed light wind camera obscura. The almost classic idea of a “Pencil of Nature”, which Henry Fox Talbot used in one of the earliest photographies, allows light itself to become the creator of the image. This is supplemented by Paul Pape with a wind-light pendulum, whereby the wind, which is itself invisible, leaves traces on the image carrier. The further development is the Dance Camera Obscura, which can now capture movement and dance sequences of single or multiple dancers accompanied by live music.

Felix Pape studied product design at the Offenbach University for Art and Design. In addition to collaborative projects with Paul Pape, he is co-founder of FrameOne, a startup of custom-produced, 3D-printed bicycles.

René Alejandro Huari Mateus and Romuald Krężel work in the field of performance and contemporary choreography. They met seven years ago during their studies at the Institute for Applied Theatre Studies in Gießen, Germany, together with Monica Duncan, Patrick Faurot, Clara Reiner and Zuzana Žabková. Their collaborative work is based on choreographic practices that incorporate visual and performative elements. The resulting performances, site-specific installations, participatory projects and other hybrid formats have addressed issues such as labour, gender and environmental disasters, among others.

René Alejandro Huari Mateus has studied and worked in Germany as a dancer, performer and choreographer. The intersectional discriminations of class, gender and origin inherent in the institutions in which these disciplines are developed have shaped her:his identity and artistic positioning. René is interested in critical decolonial futures and in exploring them creatively with others.

Romuald Krężel lives in Berlin. His work combines extended choreographic practices with performative elements and visual thinking, creating various experimental forms including movement-based performances, site-specific installations, videos, participatory performances and other hybrid formats, that explore themes such as environmental catastrophes, the possible exchange between humans and more-than-humans, labor and class struggle.

Monica Duncan is a video and performance artist. Her work explores the nature of visual perception, the relationships between audience and performer, and queer potentiality through camouflage, silence, and collective image-making.

Zuzana Žabková is doing art, dance, magic, choreography through performance, video, and installations. She pokes failing utopias and really likes to move as a reptile. She works alone and together with friends reconsidering ways of valuing labour and care. She is a co-founder of platform björnsonova – a fictional character, a community and a dancing multi-body with roots and connections spread over time, space and art forms, practicing anti-strategies, fate work and fake healing together with Tamara Antonijević, Tanja Šljivar, Lucia Kvočáková, Lucie Mičíková, Nik Timková and others.

Patrick Faurot is a multidisciplinary performance artist and theater technician. He would also like to climb some mountains.

Clara Reiner lives in Offenbach. She performs, makes pieces and ceramics, appreciates humor and mostly works with others. With Max Brands and Christopher Weickenmeier she forms a dormant, weak collective that revolves around choreographic systems, sci-fi narratives, queer theory, theater dispositives and friendship.

The Dresden Frankfurt Dance Company is a contemporary dance ensemble of the highest standard under the artistic direction of choreographer Jacopo Godani. The company develops, presents and communicates dance with the goal of connecting people, inspiring them and increasing their enthusiasm for dance. It is the company-in-residence at two performance venues, HELLERAU – European Centre for the Arts in Dresden and Bockenheimer Depot in Frankfurt am Main. As an internationally celebrated ensemble, it also gives guest performances around the world.

The Dresden Frankfurt Dance Company’s distinctive style uniquely combines venerable traditions and contemporary ideas. Its repertoire consists largely of choreographies by Jacopo Godani, although renowned guest artists such as Marco Goecke and Rafael Bonachela regularly create works for the company. Milestones of contemporary ballet, such as those by William Forsythe, are also preserved and performed.

Jan Bang is a Norwegian musician and record producer, known from several albums and collaborations over many years with musicians like Sidsel Endresen, Jon Hassell, Tigran Hamasyan, Nils Petter Molvær, Eivind Aarset, Arve Henriksen and Erik Honoré – the latter of which he co-founded the Punkt festival with in 2005.

He is one of Norway’s most accomplished and influential producers and the epithet electronic mastermind has stayed with him for a long time and with good reason. Bang is the kind of musical innovator and bridge-builder who consistently manages to balance progressive thinking with popular appeal. He is always looking for ways of moving music and people forward, and by creating new meeting places and musical intersections. Bang is a professor of electronic music at the University of Agder, Norway.

Since its founding in 1980, Ensemble Modern (EM) has been among the leading New Music ensembles. It currently unites 20 soloists from Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, India, Israel, Japan, the USA and Switzerland, illustrating the culturally diverse background of the ensemble. Based in Frankfurt am Main, the ensemble is known for its unique democratic organisation and working method. Artistic projects, partnerships and financial matters are decided and implemented jointly. Its unique and distinctive programming includes musical theatre works, dance and video projects, chamber music, ensemble and orchestral concerts. Tours and guest appearances have taken it to the most renowned festivals and distinguished performance venues.

The ensemble strives to achieve the highest possible degree of authenticity by working closely with the composers themselves. The musicians rehearse an average of 70 new works every year, 20 of which are world premieres. Its work is characterised by extraordinary and often long-term cooperative ventures with renowned artists, such as John Adams, Mark Andre, George Benjamin, Peter Eötvös, Brian Ferneyhough, Heiner Goebbels, Hans Werner Henze, Mauricio Kagel, György Kurtág, Helmut Lachenmann, György Ligeti, Olga Neuwirth, Enno Poppe, Rebecca Saunders, Simon Steen-Andersen, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Steve Reich, Frank Zappa or Vito Žuraj, as well as outstanding artist personalities from other artistic genres.

In addition to its multi-faceted concert activities, Ensemble Modern presents the results of its work through regular recordings. Almost 50 of the more than 150 CD productions have been released by the ensemble’s own label, Ensemble Modern Media. In 2003, the International Ensemble Modern Academy (IEMA) was founded as Ensemble Modern’s training centre, pursuing the goals of educating musicians and audiences about contemporary repertoire and identifying new forms of artistic and creative work today.

From 1991 to 2000, Godani was a leading soloist with William Forsythe’s Ballet Frankfurt and collaborated with Forsythe on the choreographic creation of many of Ballet Frankfurt’s most representative pieces. Godani developed his career as a choreographer creating original works for a vast range of international companies such as Royal Ballet Covent Garden, Bayerisches Staatsballett, Compañía Nacional de Danza, Nederlands Dans Theater, Royal Danish Ballet, Semperoper Ballett, Sydney Dance Company, „The Project“ Israeli Opera & Susanna Dellal Centre, Het Nationale Ballet, Aterballette, Les Ballets de Monte Carlo and Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballett.

In 2003 Ensemble Modern bundled its existing education projects under one roof, founding the International Ensemble Modern Academy (IEMA) with the goal of educating a broad public about a great variety of contemporary musical tendencies and an open, creative approach to artistic processes. The education and further education formats developed with various partners have very different target groups. For example, for 2022, IEMA – in cooperation with Ensemble Modern and the Aventis Foundation – initiated a new mentoring programme, the International Composer and Conductor Seminars (ICCS). Beyond that, IEMA considers itself a platform for various formats of discourse. Thus, in 2018 it initiated the Meersburg Concert Conversations together with Hans Zender and the City of Meersburg, a format featuring public rehearsals, lectures and concerts, which since 2021 is being complemented by a new master class, the Hans Zender Akademie. In November 2019, IEMA hosts a symposium on developments in the ensemble landscape in current music. Furthermore, a symposium on (contemporary) music education is being planned for 2022.

The focus, however, is on the one-year Master’s programme, offered in cooperation with the Frankfurt am Main Academy of Music and the Performing Arts, and supported by Kunststiftung NRW, the GVL and other sponsors, where instrumentalists, conductors, sound directors and composers work with members of Ensemble Modern and renowned composers and conductors on 20^th and 21^st century repertoire. Among others, coaches have been Heinz Holliger, Helmut Lachenmann, Mark Andre, Lucia Ronchetti, Stefan Prins, Sebastian Hilli, Lucas Vis, Stefan Asbury or Jonathan Stockhammer. The results of this work are presented by the current IEMA Ensemble in approx. 20 concerts per year, performed in Germany and abroad. In addition to concerts in Frankfurt, concerts of the IEMA-Ensemble 2021/22 are planned at Wittener Tage für neue Kammermusik, and within the framework of the Ulysses Network, at the festival Manifeste in Paris, the Time of Music Festival in Viitasaari/Finland and the Gaudeamus Muziekweek in Utrecht.

Esther Steinbrecher was born on the wild side of Odenwald, studied applied theater studies with a diploma at the Justus-Liebig-University in Gießen and currently lives in Berlin. Since 1998 she has been working pretty much anywhere as a freelance theater maker. With interactive and participatory interventions, she also regularly walks the fine line between everyday culture and everyday life. She is a member of the interdisciplinary artist group gärtnerpflichten as well as the Traveling Summer Republic.
Steinbrecher conceives, writes and realizes plays, shows and artistic interventions that traverse between comedy and tragedy, province and metropolis, serious and popular, in and out, to be or not to be. In doing so, she collaborates on an equal level with professional ensembles and amateur groups, staging written plays as well as jointly developed material. Furthermore, she occasionally makes short excursions into the world of teaching and takes care of whatever else comes up.

Fanti Baum & Frédéric De Carlo have been working together since 2016 on choreographic propositions for a different understanding of bodies: How can different approaches to themes such as touch, resistance, endangerment and vulnerability be formulated – without representing them in each case? Where do conceptual art and dance movement practice meet – and how can they be confronted?

Together with Rose Beermann and Joana Tischkau, they showed the work To be policed – how police moves our body at TNT in Marburg and at the Flausen Festival in Oldenburg (2016). With Joana Tischkau, Zwoisy Mears-Clarke & René Alejandro Huari Mateus they developed the piece HORS DE COMBAT about touch and bodies on the edge of their power at Frankfurt LAB (2018). Most recently they collaborated with Jacob Bussmann, Jana Mila Lippitz and Thomas Spallek on George Brecht’s WATER YAM BOX and presented the work SOLO: DISASSEMBLING – ASSEMBLING at Werkhalle in Dortmund (2022).

Fanti Baum is a performance artist and develops performances, installations, dance pieces and site-specific works. In 2020 she received the artist award of the city of Dortmund. Frédéric De Carlo is a dancer and choreographer working in France and Germany – with the collective Practicable (Berlin) and together with Frédéric Gies, Tino Sehgal, Ester Salomon, Paul B. Preciado, Caroline Creutzburg and Ravvina/Veit and Rotterdam Presenta.
