| Sadler's Wells: Peacock Theatre, London, Portugal Street, Holborn, London WC2 2HT, United Kingdom Tuesday 18-Jun-13 07:30pm ZooNation Dance Company — Some Like It Hip Hop ZooNation’s Some Like It Hip Hop has been a runaway success since it hit the Peacock Theatre in 2011, wowing audiences and prompting widespread critical praise with five-star reviews and standing ovations. After a second successful run and celebrating the company’s tenth anniversary at Sadler’s Wells last year, Some Like It Hip Hop returns to the Peacock Theatre to kick-start the summer. Fast becoming a modern classic, Some Like It Hip Hop unites truly sensational dancing and a typically clever and engrossing storyline with infectious “wit, heart and magnificent energy” (The Independent). With a nod to Billy Wilder’s Some Like It Hot and Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, it tells a comical tale of love, mistaken identity, cross-dressing and revolution, all played out in ZooNation’s trademark style of hip hop, comedy and physical theatre. Directed by Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist Kate Prince, Some Like It Hip Hop also features a ground-shaking original soundtrack, live singing and some of the UK’s top hip hop dance talent. | ||

Over the last years, former resident choreographer David Dawson has worked freelance with a number of top European companies. After timelapse and day4 Dawson will be back in Amsterdam with a new choreography set to new music.

| Zuiveringshal West, Amsterdam, Westfabriek Culture Park, Polonceaukade 27, Amsterdam 1014, Netherlands Tuesday 18-Jun-13 08:30pm Grupo de Rua de Niterói - Dança morta Young Brazilian choreographer Bruno Beltrão and his Grupo de Rua de Niterói delighted audiences all over the world with their previous works H2 and H3. Now, for the first time, they are visiting the Holland Festival with a new piece Dança morta (Dead dance). Beltrão grew up with street-dance and later studied contemporary dance and philosophy. His radical choreographies are rooted in the explosive physicality of hip hop. In his work, Beltrão brilliantly abstracts everyday reality using a very contemporary language of dance. The prominent dance magazine Ballettanz voted Beltrão ‘rising star choreographer of the year’.Running time 1 hour 30 minutes, no interval. Tickets €27.50 - 22.50, students/CJP €17.50 all categories.Image credit: Ada Nieuwendijk | ||

Bavarian State Ballet |
 | ||
| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Saturday 22-Jun-13 07:00pm Illusions - like Swan Lake Music by Tchaikovsky, Pyotr Ilyich (1840-1893) Choreography by John Neumeier …Silence. An empty room in a gloomy castle. Scattered throughout the room, concealed sculptures fill the empty space. Shown in by reverent guards, a man stares into nowhere. The gate slams shut behind him. Gradually, the king begins to grasp – imprisoned and deprived of power – his situation, his surroundings. In an introverted gesture, he places his hand on his heart… the music meets his lament with the first notes of Swan Lake...
The premiere of llusions – Like Swan Lake was a celebrated success of the Ballet Festival Week of 2011. Finally, John Neumeier’s ballet about the fairy tale king had been brought to its original setting.
Illusions is a Royal thriller with traditional folklore dancing, complete with a good dose of local Bavarian color. The ever-present reference to one of the greatest works in ballet history becomes most apparent in the second act, where Lew Iwanow’s original choreography is integrated: “The reconstruction of a golden hour of St. Petersburg ballet history, elaborate stage design magic supported by the captivating musical score. Most of all, it is a ballet drama that touches us right at the core because of its soulful, vivid characters, instead of showcasing lifeless swans and princes.”Image credit: Charles Tandy | ||

Bavarian State Ballet |

| Prinzregententheater, Munich, 81675 Munich, Germany Tuesday 25-Jun-13 07:00pm "Biped is a signature piece of Merce Cunningham’s late body of works. 42 minutes of pure dance co-exist on stage without correlation to projection and music.
„It was one of the first new musical compositions commissioned by Merce Cunningham since the death of John Cage in 1992. Like all of Merce‘s work it involved a collaboration with visual artists, in this case Paul Kaiser and Shelley Eshkar who had developed a very striking technique of video motion capture. In working on the music Merce and I agreed that we would follow the method established between himself and John Cage of working independently but towards a common goal, thereby avoiding any planned one-to-one relationship between music, dance and décor.”
(Composer Gavin Bryars about Biped)
Ballet by Richard Siegal
„…suddenly, Richard Siegal stops the rehearsal, tells what he intended to insert here and there, asks the audience for their opinion, drops all inquiries and jumps to the next scene (…) it takes a while to realize what game is being played here – but even then, a hint of uncertainty is left behind. The means of presentation are chosen intentionally: the casual tone of voice, the official tone, minute details in choreographed passages where he articulates every single muscle like a cat, stand-up comedy followed by solemn seriousness. A wide-spectrum.” – TANZ magazine wrote about Richard Siegal as choreographer and performer. His new creation is yet to be named.Image credit: Merce Cunningham © Annie Liebovitz | ||

Directed by Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist Kate Prince, Some Like It Hip Hop also features a ground-shaking original soundtrack, live singing and some of the UK’s top hip hop dance talent. | ||

| Sadler's Wells, London, Rosebery Avenue,, London EC1R 4TN, United Kingdom Tuesday 25-Jun-13 07:30pm Rosas & Ictus — Drumming One of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s most fascinating choreographic works, Drumming, returns to Sadler’s Wells in full after part one was performed in De Keersmaeker’s celebrated Steve Reich Evening in 2008. A pioneer of minimalist music, Steve Reich’s work has been a catalyst throughout De Keersmaeker’s career ever since she created Fase (1982), her debut as a choreographer. Since then his distinctive style has formed the basis of numerous works by De Keersmaeker including Rain. Composed by Reich in 1970, Drumming is based on a single rhythmic motif which multiplies, develops and accelerates into an endless interplay of canons. This powerful score is brought to life with breathtaking precision as contemporary music ensemble Ictus perform live on stage, whilst 13 dancers move to the beat in this energetic and skilfully choreographed piece. As part of Sadler’s Sampled, audiences can enjoy this truly live spectacle where no two performances are ever the same. | ||

| Prinzregententheater, Munich, 81675 Munich, Germany Wednesday 26-Jun-13 07:00pm "Biped is a signature piece of Merce Cunningham’s late body of works. 42 minutes of pure dance co-exist on stage without correlation to projection and music.
„It was one of the first new musical compositions commissioned by Merce Cunningham since the death of John Cage in 1992. Like all of Merce‘s work it involved a collaboration with visual artists, in this case Paul Kaiser and Shelley Eshkar who had developed a very striking technique of video motion capture. In working on the music Merce and I agreed that we would follow the method established between himself and John Cage of working independently but towards a common goal, thereby avoiding any planned one-to-one relationship between music, dance and décor.”
(Composer Gavin Bryars about Biped)
Ballet by Richard Siegal
„…suddenly, Richard Siegal stops the rehearsal, tells what he intended to insert here and there, asks the audience for their opinion, drops all inquiries and jumps to the next scene (…) it takes a while to realize what game is being played here – but even then, a hint of uncertainty is left behind. The means of presentation are chosen intentionally: the casual tone of voice, the official tone, minute details in choreographed passages where he articulates every single muscle like a cat, stand-up comedy followed by solemn seriousness. A wide-spectrum.” – TANZ magazine wrote about Richard Siegal as choreographer and performer. His new creation is yet to be named.Image credit: Merce Cunningham © Annie Liebovitz | ||

After the comedy by Georg Büchner
Music by Johann Strauss, Bernd Alois Zimmermann, Amilcare Ponchielli,
Alfred Schnittke and Martin Donner
Swiss première
Christian Spuck has long been fascinated by the works of the German playwright Georg Büchner, whose work stands between German Romanticism and the emerging Modern Age. Taking a coolly analytical view, the author performed autopsies of the human soul, as it were, and as the poet Durs Grünbein put it, “registered the fissures that pass through the individual at an early stage, and certainly not coldly.” From 1836, Georg Büchner lectured in medicine in Zurich, and died here at the age of only 23. Christian Spuck created the full-length narrative ballet Leonce and Lena for the Aalto Ballet Essen in 2008. Zurich Ballet will now perform the piece for the first time in Switzerland – only a few weeks before Büchner’s 200th birthday.
The royal children Leonce and Lena have been betrothed without knowing one another. Both decide to escape the wedding. Leonce, who is tormented by boredom, intends to go to Italy with his companion Valerio and live there in indolence; Lena is persuaded to escape by her governess. The two encounter one another en route – and fall in love. Ignorant of one another’s identity, they appear masked at the court of Leonce’s father and are married.
Christian Spuck transforms Büchner’s subtly sarcastic comedy into a high-spirited, fast-paced and imaginative farce of automata, at the same time providing the danced caricature of the small German state. The airy, at times grotesque pieces of the king of waltz, Johann Strauss, inspire the tragicomic story and underline its burlesque elements, as do the modern sounds of Alfred Schnittke and Bernd Alois Zimmermann. | ||

William Forsythe’s HERMAN SCHMERMAN is from 1992 and is nowadays in the contemporary repertory of many classical companies. Marco Goecke, whose choreographies are shown all over Germany, developed a world premiere for Staatsballett Berlin for the first time: and the sky on that cloudy old day
