Abstract

This third installment in a series devoted to the work of acclaimed choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker focuses on two of her notable works, 'Drumming' and 'Rain'. Both works, which were among De Keersmaeker's most successful premieres, are known for their energetic, virtuosic dancing and formal richness. They also feature minimalist scores by composer Steve Reich, costumes by famed designer Dries Van Noten, and striking scenic design. In this publication, fascinating interviews with De Keersmaeker by Bojana Cvejic reveal the choreographic principles behind the pieces and give insight into De Keersmaeker's process. These conversations are illustrated with numerous primary source materials, including drawings, photographs, and documents related to productions of 'Drumming' and 'Rain'. A series of three DVDs contain extensive interviews and voice-over commentaries by De Keersmaeker and Cvejic, illustrated by demonstrations and excerpts of the performances, performed by an excellent cast of dancers from the ensemble Rosas. The Ictus ensemble provides the live performance of Reich&#x;s spellbinding music. A third DVD presents an entire recording of Drumming (2012 revival) with optional voice-over commentary. With its unique multimedia presentation of these two canonical dance pieces, this volume is an essential resource on one of today's most prominent choreographers.

Abstract

Fase, Four Movements to the Music of Steve Reich, choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s very first performance, premiered in 1982. Fase comprises three duets and one solo, choreographed to four repetitive compositions by the American minimalist Steve Reich. De Keersmaeker uses the structure of Reich’s music to develop an independent movement idiom that doesn’t merely illustrate the music but also adds a new dimension to it. Both the music and the dance start from the principle of phase shifting through tiny variations: movements that are initially perfectly synchronous gradually start slipping and sliding, resulting in an ingenious play of continuously changing forms and patterns.

Having always danced Fase herself, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, for the first time in the work’s history, now passes it on to two new dancers.

Abstract

At the occasion of The Six Brandenburg Concertos De Munt/La Monnaie and Rosas invited dance photographer Hugo Glendinning to attend the rehearsals in Brussels and to travel to New York City for the work’s US premiere at the Park Avenue Armory. His photographs masterfully reveal both the personality of each individual dancer and the idea of a clan, a company made up, for The Six Brandenburg Concertos, of several generations of dancers – some bringing to this new work all their experience with the choreographer, others undertaking such an ambitious project for the first time with Rosas.

Abstract

Johann Sebastian Bach’s Cello Suites are considered a milestone in the history of Western music. The intellectual and architectural elements continue to evoke contemporary appeal, with their rhythmic vitality and melodic intricacy. Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s affinity with Bach was already apparent in several previous creations, and she continues to pursue a choreographic écriture that captures the essence of Bach’s musical language. In this production, Bach’s score, performed in its totality by the world-renowned cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras, is faceted, challenged, and performed through a choreography for three male and two female dancers, De Keersmaeker herself one of them. Both the individual character of the six suites and their mutual interconnections emerge from this riveting symbiosis of music and dance.

Abstract

Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker (°1960) a fondé la compagnie de danse Rosas en 1983. Son travail chorégraphique explore inlassablement les liens entre danse et musique, et s'affronte aux structures musicales et aux partitions de toutes les époques, de la musique ancienne à la musique contemporaine en passant par les expressions populaires. Sa pratique puise en outre dans les principes formels de la géométrie, de l'étude des phénomènes naturels et des structures sociales, ouvrant de singulières perspectives sur le déploiement du corps dans l'espace et le temps.Le minimalisme de ses débuts, nourri de complexité musicale, a peu à peu cédé la place à de flamboyantes constructions pour grands ensembles dansés. En 2007, le travail de la chorégraphe prend cependant un tour nouveau : un « minimalisme second », qui ne revient sur son lieu de départ qu'à une place inattendue. Dépouillement et grand air, simplicité et valorisation énergétique des gestes élémentaires – la marche, le souffle, le parler – reconfigurent la dynamique du simple et du complexe et relancent son écriture.Les photographes Anne Van Aerschot et Herman Sorgeloos ont été les témoins privilégiés de ce processus. À travers leurs images, réunies dans un seul et même ouvrage pour la première fois depuis dix ans, ils délivrent un regard d'une acuité exceptionnelle sur cette dernière décennie de l'aventure Rosas.
