TREFFPUNKT SPEECH(LESS)
DANCE/PERFORMANCE: TREFFPUNKT SPEECH(LESS) is a staging of an experiment by dancer and choreographer Annika KompArt Experience New Year’s Speeches as You never have before. A German dancer invites three colleagues with different national backgrounds to dance to the rhythm of Angela Merkels New Year’s Speech. The three dancers offer their national New Year's Speech in return. You can decide, whether the dancers’ native language is revealed through their movements. TRAILER: https://vimeo.com/320340253 INSPIRATION: “How do my own language sounds, if I could not understand it?”. Does the language also live in our body? Does speaking a language also create a common resonance on a sensual plane of rhythms and tone of voice? “The project clarifies this dimension through an embodied rhythm of different languages and tonal movements.” Tora Balslev Jespersen. Project Speech(less) started with a first showing of a draft at Loona Nights in Dansehallerne in 2015, a viewing under CPH Stage in 2018 , a two weeks experiment at Forsøgsstationen in 2018, a first showing at Bådteatret in January 2019. It continued to get presented at Probebühne eins in Hamburg, Teater Momentum in Odense and won the semi final of MArte Arts in Lithuania in 2021. In Speech(less), the German dancer and choreographer Annika KompArt moves, responding to the rhythm of political speeches to echo the different dynamics of the language with her body. “Speech(less) is not just an autobiographical attempt to give a body and plasticity to the language, but further to give space and care to my own and other languages to try to communicate dance and art.” Speech(less) is constantly evolving and serves as an experiment, as a method or a performance. After a first experiment at Forsøgsstationen, Annika invited professional dance artists, Efva Lilja (SWE) the head of Dansehallerne, Nanna Hanfgarn Jensen (DK) and Georgia Kapodistria (CYP) to a viewing at Bådteatret to dance to the rhythm of political speeches, to compare the dynamics and embodiment of the language in a public exchange with an audience. This artistic work got supported in collaboration with the artist duo Lola and Yukao (http://lolaandyukaomeet.com/index.php/about-us). The performative drawer Yukao Nagemi is capturing the dynamic of the dancers during the performance. The resulting drawing is only made visible for the audience afterwards. The musician Lola transforms parts of the speeches into rhythm, to create the introduction, transitions and special effects.
