Freigang (Day Release)

A dance performance by and with Henrietta Horn, Jens Thomas and the dancers of the Folkwang Tanzstudio

„Improvisation is not making things up but making visible what already exists. ” (Jens Thomas)

In her latest piece, choreographer Henrietta Horn collaborates with musician, performer and improviser Jens Thomas who is currently artist-in-residence at the Schauspielhaus Bochum.
Together with the dancers they explore the creative tensions between total freedom and clearly defined structures within improvisation, pushing the envelope of their respective arts.

… The dialogues especially are superbly achieved, embarking on an unknown road while truly listening - ears, bodies -, letting themselves be guided by perception, without fear, without ambition. Amazing! It works after all. More of this!
