Munich Dance Histories: Der Blaue Reiter und der moderne Tanz. Begegnungen
The beginnings of modern dance in Munich: Else von Carlberg, a student of philosophy and history, devises ‘ancient Egyptian dances’, with which she makes a successful debut at the Künstlerhaus in 1909. In 1910, 17-year-old Clotilde von Derp becomes the first expressive dancer to perform the ‘style of a new era’. In the circle of friends of the Blue Rider, Alexander Sacharoff appears in 1910 as the first male modern dancer.
Lecture demonstrations, short talks and discussions on 10 May will illustrate what connects these three revolutionary dance artists.
In addition, on 9 May at the Lenbachhaus, Munich Dance Histories will present interpretations of dances by Sacharoff and Derp, choreographed by Claudia Jeschke and Rose Breuss, as well as Sent M’ahesa’s signature piece ‘Dance of Isis’ in a new production by Brygida Ochaim.
