Franco Schmidt

 The workshops are an introduction to the Jooss-Leeder method, which has been developed and taught at the Folkwang Hochscule , a form of contemporary dance rooted in the theories by Rudolf von Laban, which were the base for the development of German dance expressionism and the starting point of the German Tanztheater by Pina Bausch. The main focus is to convey basic principles of movement like the use of time, space and energy and how to implement and develop those individually. Schmidt is currently a member of the Tanztheater Wuppertal.

WEDDING
"Three-Channel Video Installation"

Köken Ergun

2006–2007
Digital video

Lasts 12’.

Köken Ergun points his camera at the Turkish wedding ceremonies in Berlin, and develops a critical perspective on how they potentially hide diverse forms of cultural reproduction inside their fragmented moments. Shot by shot -starting from the moments of preparation at coiffeur salons and ending at the jewellery queues, he creates a fictive documentation of the whole process of what makes weddings “Turkish”. During a period of eight months, Ergun shot more than fifty weddings, edited and re-edited his three-channel video work. He continued his artistic research till the level of fictionalizing a “Turkish wedding in Berlin” out of the ones that have really happened.

Panelists: Prof. Dr. Arzu Öztürkmen, Adnan Yıldız, Köken Ergun
