Award at Festival SOLOCOREOGRAFICO Frankfurt Edition 2018:

And a nice review:
“With ‘Wie soll ich das erklären’, Dagmar Dachauer concludes the almost two hour long evening (…) congenially: diverse and jaunty, not only in colour. Not a bad title for a dance piece, especially since the expectations evoked by Johann Strauß’ Waltz ‘Voices of Spring’, although wearing a traditional bodice and braid, are not being met. Instead of self-indulgent movements, minimalistic and fine qualities, as well as fitful rotations vest something puppet-like and consistently surprising in the performer. It whets the appetite for more.”
Katja Sturm, Frankfurter Neue Presse

Press Reviews:
‘Dachauer’s punchy performance to the familiar & comforting Viennese Waltz is athletic, energetic & when she smiles broadly at us, as welcoming as our hosts.’
– Helen Joy, http://www.getthechance.wales
‘Austrian Dagmar Dachauer, is mystified by her nation’s dance tradition. To a Viennese Waltz, she humorously attempts to re-live the old Empire, her modern body trying to assimilate the grace and flow of the spinning dancers of earlier times. Her arms and legs want to go one way, but her head and torso can’t keep up with the frenetic action until by the final hurrah, she just gives up with a deadpan shrug.’
– Jane Oriel, http://www.walesartsreview.org

DETAILS

New Creation: SELFED
A choreography based on the notion of the energy of self and self-sacrifice. The self meant as a tool for introspection and reproduction, of construct and demolition of the body and the mind. We will explore movements researching shifts of self-sacrifice, and – following the philosophy of Parkour – methods to overcome reflexes and ways to adapt the body to mental barriers.

Concept, Choreography and Visual Image: Kevin Trappeniers
Dancer and co-creator of movement: Dagmar Dachauer / in collaboration with Luka Avguštin, Enej Progar, Jan Ulčar, Sebastjan Zupanc (SloMotion, Slovenian Parkour Family)
