Production Details / Press Releases

Working on a dance piece while working on two other jobs. In the studio they all meet somehow. And so the piece is commenting on different facets of the flexible, the open, the adapting. Which desire lies behind the open, transformative body in contemporary dance? Is it only one desire or in fact a multiplicity of interwoven and partly even ambivalent, contradictory wishes? And in which ways do these wishes connect with working conditions, that require enhanced individual initiative and flexibility. What particular demands and what ideas of collectivity are possible here, or even necessary.

Kai Simon Stoeger lives mostly, but works less frequently in Berlin. She works as contemporary dancer an graphic designer. As her stage character Rosebutt Kai is regularly performing Queer Burlesque. 2009 she won the Tanzlabor advancement award for short pieces in Linz (AT) and she got a danceWEB scholarship for 2010. In the same year she finished her studies in contemporary dance at the Inter-University Centre for Dance Berlin.
