Four dancers of different shapes and sizes, all clad in grey sportswear (or simply underwear) enter the room, and it doesn\u2019t take long for the choreography to stun.\u00a0 The first part features a more contemporary dance routine reminiscent of Sylvie Guillem\u2019s later performances; with tippy-toes galore and abrupt and humorous gestures filling the space between the men. The choreographer Roderick George, winner of the Youth America Grand Prix, also stars and constantly shines with his compact body doing brawny high jumps, impossible body turns, and the unexpected flashes of crotch.<\/p>\n<p>In the second half the performance evolves into a more muscular and dramatic affair, following the faster pace of the heavier beats and the dim lights. It allows for more display of personalised moves influenced by hip hop, and more contemplative moments. Yet they continue to challenge each other\u2019s bodies, they pair up, they carry each other across the stage, and switch between synchrony and freestyle in an eye blink. We can hear them panting and we can see them sweating; and it\u2019s this nightclub-esque intimacy paired with muscular choreography that makes \u201cDust\u201d the smashing opener of this year\u2019s Tanztage Berlin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-27323 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/748_foto_dust4_foto_c_dieter-hartwig-web1.jpeg\" alt=\"748_foto_dust4_foto_c_dieter-hartwig web1\" width=\"716\" height=\"477\" \/> Dust, photograph by Dieter Hartwig, courtesy Sophiensaele<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the festival features a varied mix of acts, including myriads of international performers such as the Mexican group Colectivo AM and the Portuguese duo Antonio Onio and Braulio Bandeira. Many of the performers also deal with cultural appropriation, exoticism and postcolonialism &#8211; some of the main points of the event\u2019s programme &#8211; which raises the question of whether such diversity would be present otherwise. However, at the end of some performances there\u2019s are discussions open to all to talk about dance and related topics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Text von <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/tag\/will-furtado\/\" target=\"_blank\">Will Furtado<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The 25th iteration of Tanztage Berlin takes place at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sophiensaele.com\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Sophiensaele<\/a>, Berlin, until 17 January 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mehr: <a title=\"Who\u2019s the WAXCHICK?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/showroom\/2015\/12\/whos-the-waxchick\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Who\u2019s the WAXCHICK?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mehr: <a title=\"Vonna-Michell Makes Sound Art in Tokyo While Getting Lost in Translation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/showroom\/2016\/01\/vonna-michell-makes-sound-art-in-tokyo-while-getting-lost-in-translation\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Vonna-Michell Makes Sound Art in Tokyo While Getting Lost in Translation<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dust, photograph by Dieter Hartwig, courtesy Sophiensaele Featuring an all male cast, \u201cDust\u201d is not your usual conceptual dance production for its tantalising amalgamation of hip hop\u2019s creativity with ballet\u2019s rigour.\u00a0 The Tanztage Berlin opener starts off with SAD\u2019s DJ set of a beat-heavy mix with warped samples from \u201cGod Only Knows\u201d.
