Handbuch Tanztechnik / Tanzplan Educational Programme
Tanzplan Deutschland is working on an international research project on contemporary dance techniques, which will result in publication of the "Handbuch Tanztechniken" (Dance techniques 2010) (working title) in German and English, incl. 2 DVDs, by Henschel Verlag in December 2010. Ingo Diehl (Project Manager) and Dr. Friederike Lampert (Research Assistant) are responsible for the project.
This publication will provide for the first time an overview of the various dance techniques that have emerged in Europe and in Anglo-American countries since the beginning of the 20th century and are fused in the hybrid form of contemporary dance training. As well as the techniques of José Limón and Jennifer Muller, and Anouk van Dijk‘s Counter Technique, work on body awareness techniques, taking the work of renowned educators such as Gill Clarke and Lance Gries in training institutions as examples, will also be investigated.
The universities participating in the research project are, the Inter-University Center for Dance – Pilot Project Tanzplan Berlin, Cologne University of Music, the Palucca Schule Dresden, Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts, the Institute for Dance Arts, Bruckner University, Linz, the Laban Center for Movement and Dance, London and the Rotterdamse Danceacademie.

Production / Hamburg
Van der Heijden, Oberlik, Kacirek and Kolenc in “Ticken” (Ticking). In 1968, every 32nd postman was bitten by a dog. Adults breathe in and out about 23,000 times a day. A normal parking ticket is redeemed within four weeks on average. It takes eight years before a Lipizzaner can perform in Vienna’s Spanish Riding School, ten years for a black hole to completely crush a star. 99% of all life forms that ever lived on the Earth are extinct. Is the number 0 = nothing and is the distance between 0 and 1 greater than that between 1 and 2? What is the timescale of patience and how long is the course of events? A group of young people investigated the phenomenon of time together with artists Philipp van der Heijden (dance), Sven Kacirek (music), Jonas Kolenc (visual arts / video) and Katharina Oberlik (performance): a performative attempt to create a space in which art forms meet, encounter one another and engage in an interdisciplinary exchange.

Production / Hamburg
Van der Heijden, Oberlik, Kacirek and Kolenc in “Ticken” (Ticking). In 1968, every 32nd postman was bitten by a dog. Adults breathe in and out about 23,000 times a day. A normal parking ticket is redeemed within four weeks on average. It takes eight years before a Lipizzaner can perform in Vienna’s Spanish Riding School, ten years for a black hole to completely crush a star. 99% of all life forms that ever lived on the Earth are extinct. Is the number 0 = nothing and is the distance between 0 and 1 greater than that between 1 and 2? What is the timescale of patience and how long is the course of events? A group of young people investigated the phenomenon of time together with artists Philipp van der Heijden (dance), Sven Kacirek (music), Jonas Kolenc (visual arts / video) and Katharina Oberlik (performance): a performative attempt to create a space in which art forms meet, encounter one another and engage in an interdisciplinary exchange.
