Lounge - Opening of Tanztage 2023 (for tanzschreiber.de)

It's been a while since I attended any kind of festival opening with any prestige - and as I queued with desperate people, and a guy shoved his way in front of me, I remembered why I don't like it. The competition, the desperation, the networking... and then occasionally, some performance...

Cynicism aside, the festival's opening night produced two memorable performances. The first was Bang Bang Bodies, written about by my colleague Corey Tamler here - https://tanzschreiber.de/en/centripetal-performance/

And I was charged with a premiere, Lounge, which was a playful and instinct-driven look at the function of relaxation in sex. Insert jokes about my prudishness...
