IT NEVER WAS YOU, 2003 (4:00) by Sandeep Metha

Music: Thomas Brinkmann
Performance: In Jung Jung, Geraldo Siz
The author and filmmaker tells the story of a young woman seeking for a romantic encounter and love. In poetic images he delineates her search while passing the night in the city. Moments of joy fade in the dawn of the new day. Time-laps filming transfoms the movements of the performer into a choreography of dance, time and space.

WORKOUT, 1999 (2:30) by Andreas Menn

“I want control over every pixel”. The media artist and designer Andreas Menn develops a rhythmic choreography of moving parts of his body dissolved, splitted and arranged in electronic images. The body transforms into fragments of the digital world.

WORKING GIRL, 2004 (5:00) by Corine Stübi

Music: Amon Tobin
Working girls are automata, robots, clones whose destination is their job. Feminine jobs. But beneath their perfect surface and cliches lurk malfunctions, hysteria and obsessions. Be aware: working girls are naughty, intelligent and dangerous. Corine Stübi – media designer, artist, performer – develops a choreography of stereotyped behaviour and images. Her videoclip received several international acknowledements.

Music: Nonplace Urban Field
Strange public places downtown Cologne/Köln during night. Observed through the eye of a restless moving camera in search of secret icons, signs and locations. A dance and composition of visual impressions, design, sound and electronic art. Internationally screened.

UNDERWATERSKY, 2006 (4:12) by Meike Fehre

Dancers: Lucy Scherer, Rick Kam, Rul5en Reniers.
Musik: Eike Hosenfeld, Moritz Denis
3 dancers in a state of suspense. Their bodies are floating and flying in a phantastic space: the sky under water. Time, space, gravitation, movements and gestures are slowed down. They seem to follow dreamlike rules leaving behind the hectic conditions of everyday life. A poetic audiovisual choreography.
(Tutor/adviser: Prof. Heide Hagebölling, in cooperation with the Aquarius Wassermuseum)


GIZEM (MYSTERIOUS), 2006 (4:40) by O.O.Özbanazi

Music: Tosca- Pearl in Tosca- Suzuki
Tanz: Gizem Erden, Choreography: Binnaz Dorkip
A choreography for image and body. The movements of a young dancer are segementized and visually transformed into a canon of artificial gestures. Body language, visual style and rhythm generate irritations: the body shifts between natural actions and synthetic motions.
(Tutor/adviser: Prof. Heide Hagebölling, Frank Horlitz)
