Tanzfaehig

»Vor dem Spiegel roter Fische« | Work in progress

2019 | Berlin

The three-person dance piece deals with vulnerability. This is seen as a human characteristic
that is fundamental for self-knowledge and community building. With reference to proxemics,
the science of spatial behaviour, the piece examines the areas from public to intimate
distance with their dangers and possibilities.

»Common Ground in Diversity« | Documentary film

2018 | Berlin

Filmmaker Sushma U. Gütter accompanies the choreographer duo matanicola and a
group of dancers in close proximity. All participants are very different, by age, background,
dance-like previous experience and disability in their physicality. The 1.5h long film illustrates
impressively how during the four days of her common choreographic research the motion idea
of the Choreographers mind move into the bodies of the dancers and how this idea spring to life.

'Diversity exists. It`s the reality of fact.' Nicola Mascia
'The group was very diverse. (...) At the same tme we wanted to explore the elements
that make us actually equal. We wanted to find a common ground that was not physical.'
Matan Zamir

'Common Ground in Diversity' was part of the EU project »Moving Beyond Inclusion«
be realized with financial support from the Berlin Senate and Creative Europe and
can be ordered via e-mail at tanzfähig for a fee.

»Subjects of Position« | Performance

2018 | Berlin

A production of tanzfähig and Zwoisy Mears-Clarke in coproduction with Tanztage Berlin,
Sophiensæle and supported by ada Studio & Bühne für zeitgenössischen Tanz.

To experience dance through touch changes the reception of physical differences. Which tactile
experiences are already stored in the body, which ones are new? A performance as an invitation
to rethink the visual perceptions of difference.
The performance takes place in a pitch black room and is accessible to blind, visually impaired,
and sighted persons as well as pedestrians and wheelchair users whose chairs have a low
backrest or a backrest made of fabric.

'When the lilacs bloomed,...' | Dance Performance

2013 | Berlin

All the stories, which our bodies save, will live again when we meet. When we tell those
stories to each other, our memories begin to flow. The sensibility between us will change.
It will never be like before, not even if we repeat the same thing. Anyone who wants to
can feel how the time we share opens the space we have in common.

'Triptychon' | Video-Dance

May - August 2011 | Berlin

'triptychon' plays impressively with both the space of the Berlin St.Elisabeth Church
and the space between themselves, which the three dancers open up through their
performance. Walking, limping and rolling, the dancers find themselves in each other,
at the same time becoming recognized for their peculiarities.

'I have tried to bring three different personalities together, each moving in their
own way...Of course you see disabilities too...Maybe it's the unusual - that the
unusual in the dance doesn`t seem to be unusal anymore.'
Evelyne Wohlfarter

'triptychon' is available. Just order by email. All the profit goes towards future
projects and productions of tanzfähig Berlin. Thank you loads for your support!!

they present themselves – they let themselves be seen – they play with the space – they relate to one another – they have encounters with one another – they share – they find themselves in new situations – they get involved – they present their individuality – they discover differences – their characteristics are passed on and become present in the others
