Writing for Slow Travel Berlin- Chasing Silence, Dock 11, 8:30pm
Tonight is the last chance to see the premiere of Moo Kimâs Chasing Silence. Part dance and part installation, the performance aims to fracture silence and take a closer look at the split shards. The show works with the extremes of bodily expression, where minimal but emotionally charged movements are used to convey the poetic chase of an intangible silence.
DOCK 11 and Eden Studios host the event, fittingly so, since this is Berlinâs only theatre that focuses emphatically on dance. The space specialises in a holistic approach, with a working studio offering education, classes, lectures, workshops, production space and a platform for presentation. With over 80 dance courses and an international team of instructors, DOCK 11 is the place to discover whatâs dancing on the global stage. DOCK 11, Kastanienallee 79, 10435 Berlin; 030 448 1222;U: Senefelderplatz/ Rosenthaler Platz; admission âŹ10.
Movement Research
THURSDAY Class was shifted to 12:30 with Davide, so I ended up venturing after my German class to a local studio for an evening course at Dock 11. This place is in a very cool and grungy looking building, if I have mentioned the buildings here have front doors on the street, but then there are about 3 buildings lined up behind each other. The class was for people who are less experienced with dance, or just don't study it, so it was very... simple and slow in a different way from the other classes I've mentioned. It was a shame I had to pay 9 Euro to hardly move is all I'll say, but the teacher was a lovely person and she did a fine job of making the class challenging, fun, and creative for the people involved. I learned a lot for future experience teaching non-professional dancers.
FRIDAY I ventured south to Kreuzberg again for a class called MOVEMENT RESEARCH at Tanzfabrik with Sharon Assa-Hilleli. This class was amazing because we moved from Feldenkrais technique to improvisation, definitely a new experience. Why it made sense: Beginning with Feldenkrais, we located the trajectory of pouring or shifting our weight from head to toe, on the floor, in a spiral, coming out of the floor, going back into the floor... Essentially we took the time to work in a mega-slow fashion to feel every detail of movements with a focus of sequencing everything together so that there is never a pause or break in the body. Taking this amount of time turned the attention of the body up to 100% so by the time started shift our weight to stand, it was as familiar as brushing your teeth.
Pausing, the motive was to fill up the body for 360 degree attention and life. Then we imagined a path of movement out of the pause, we denied it and moved in a different or opposite direction. The difficulty for me was not to be too controlled, but also to be able to control momentum enough that there wasn't a snowball effect in my body. Register and shift the weight, being clear about intention, and follow through with a natural continuation by listening to the reaction through the body. Flow meets choice, sentimentality meets redirection.
I am finding a common thread in Berlin with a slowed-down focus on the small details while finding the shift of weight. It takes a lot of strength and control in a released, open, and in-touch-with-the-internal sort of way. I have yet to take a truly structured class with warm up "combinations" and high-energy movement culminating in a big phrase at the end, which is what I am used to in the U.S. for a large majority of classes. I'm sure they're here, but I haven't experienced anything like it just yet.
SĂŒdwestwind 18 km/h. âJedesmal wenn ich in Berlin bin â etwa 10 Mal im Jahr â bin ich auf der Tempelhofer Freiheit. FĂŒr mich ist dieser Park ein neu gewonnenes StĂŒck Berlin, dass ich noch nie betreten durfte seit 74 Jahren. FĂŒr mich ist sehr wichtig, dass trotz der vielen konkurrierenden Absichten, der Platz so erhalten bleibt wie er ist, ohne zusĂ€tzliche Bebauung, ohne Parkverschönerung, aber zur vielfĂ€ltigen sportlichen und Freizeitnutzung. Als einziges, von Weitem sichtbares Bauwerk wĂŒrde ich eine GroĂwindanlage errichten, die sicher einen guten Energieertrag liefern wĂŒrde.â Dally, 75, Architekt, aus Lichterfelde, wohnt seit 46 Jahren in Weinheim, hat aber ein Studio in Prenzlauer Berg.
Dally kann von seinem Studio in Berlin vier Theater zu FuĂ erreichen: Prater Saal, Dock 11, Theater unterm Dach, VolksbĂŒhne. Er kannte Berlin einst âwie seine Westentascheâ, und ist zum Studium nach Heidelberg nicht vom Tempelhof geflogen, sondern mit seinem kleinen KĂ€fer gefahren. Es gibt genĂŒgend Parks, genĂŒgend GebĂ€ude in Berlin, meint er. Der Name Tempelhofer Freiheit sagt ziemlich gut, was hier sein sollte â eine leere FlĂ€che. Park ist ein konventioneller Begriff. Der Flughafen war fĂŒr Dally damals ohne Interesse, jetzt aber âgeht sein Herz aufâ, sagt er und zeigt er mir, dass wir da in der Ferne den Treptower Park sehen können. Hier kann man weiter schauen, wo anders in dieser Stadt wĂŒrde man das schaffen, auĂer in unseren Vorstellungen?

Southwest Wind 18 km/h. âEvery time I am in Berlin â around 10 times a year â Iâm on Tempelhofer Freiheit. This park is for me a new won part of Berlin, where I couldnât enter for 74 years. For me it's very important that despite the many competing interests, the place stays how it is now, without further constructions, without park aesthetics, but open for many sports and free use. As an exception I would construct a huge wind machine, which would be for sure an important energy source.â Dally, 75, architect, from Lichterfelde, lives for 46 years in Weinheim, has a studio in Prenzlauer Berg.
Dally can reach by foot four theaters from his studio: Prater Saal, Dock 11, Theater unterm Dach, VolksbĂŒhne. He knew Berlin 'like the inside of his pocket' after his studies, so, he didnât fly from Tempelhof, but drove his small Beetle to Heidelberg. There are enough parks, enough buildings in Berlin, he says, the name of Tempelhofer Freedom describes very well what should be here â an empty, free surface. The term of 'park' is just a convention. The airport was once completely uninteresting for Dally, but today 'his heart opens' here, and he shows me that in the distance we can see Treptower Park. One can see here far away, where else in this city could one do that, besides in our own imagination?
