Shechter\u2019s choreographies captivate audiences with their raw physicality and exceptional musicality. The former dancer with the renowned Batsheva Dance Company, who moved to London in 2004 and soon rose to become a world-class choreographer, now presents his new show \u2018In The Brain\u2019, which premiered in March, in which he explores the parallels between club culture and contemporary dance, moving between rave and ritual. Following the premiere in Bern, the Swiss press described it as \u201ca rollercoaster of emotions\u201d and said they felt \u201cswept off their feet\u201d.<br \/>\nThis new original work for Shechter II is inspired by \u201cCave\u201d, a piece Hofesh Shechter created for the Martha Graham Company in New York in 2022. What must it be like to dance all night long? Time flies by, and we share a common dream of connection and belonging. The young dancers of Shechter II bring all their energy and skill to this festive and finely choreographed piece.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"cast-paragraph\">Choreography: Hofesh Shechter<br \/>\nMusic: Hofesh Shechter<br \/>\nLighting design: Tom Visser<br \/>\nCostume design: Osnat Kelner<br \/>\nProduction: Hofesh Shechter Company<br \/>\nCo-production: Migros-Kulturprozent Tanzfestival Steps, Ch\u00e2teau Rouge \u2013 Annemasse, Espace 1789 Saint-Ouen, Sc\u00e8ne nationale de Bourg-en-Bresse, Du\u0308sseldorf Festival!<br \/>\nProduction support: The\u0301a\u0302tre de la Ville Paris<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11836,"template":"","genre":[198],"state":[153],"class_list":["post-11845","veranstaltung","type-veranstaltung","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","genre-dance","state-current"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
