LOVE, DEATH AND THE DEVIL - Campaign: practise seing beauty

a performance series in five images
Creating images and situations, where everyday perception is transformed into artistic experience is the starting point of the dance performance series “Practise seeing beauty” by Ben J. Riepe.
By developing a series of “images” over an extended period of time (five images in one year), the choreographer searches new forms of artistic creation and presentation. The individual images will be developed in a short period of time, thereby prioritising intuitive and elusive elements.
All five images are thematically interwoven. The pace is fast, process and effect are instantaneous. This way the audience is presented with a new and unspent experience of art, and will be implicated into this campaign of beauty beyond the boundaries of contemporary dance. It is possible to join this artistic process over the period of a full year – the spectators chance to be part of an experience, where topics and motifs are being developed and presented in different art forms and media continuously.
Additionally a very different view and insight into the artistic project and the company’s work is the series' Weblog. This open online platform is where the artists will post and comment on various aspects of the production – an invitation for virtual interaction with the audience.
