Moments. Eine Geschichte der Performance in 10 Akten | Artist
Talk
Exhibition 08.03.2012 – 29.04.2012
In her earlier solo pieces, Reinhild Hoffman confronted concrete
materials which at once limit and accentuate her movements. By
way of a sculptural, artistic access to the material of dance,
Hoffmann composes movements like picture sequences. A precise
language of forms compresses the content of her solo
choreographies. Whereas, in Bretter she exposes herself to a body
extension of extreme dimensions and shifts of focus, in Steine
she wrestles with centrifugal and gravitational forces.
Intensionally she used the sounds of the material as a musical
composition. Both works, created in 1980, have been fully
documented on video. From a contemporary perspective on these
works, Hoffmann elaborates the essence of the dance pieces
through a specific selection of video stills in the exhibition;
in the choreographic transformation, the artist compresses and
reinterprets the iconographic and semantic readability of these
works in an image plate.
Short Biography
The dancer, choreographer and director Reinhild Hoffmann (*1943
in Sorau/Silesia) received her training from Eleonore Härdle-Munz
in Karlsruhe and from Kurt Joos at Folkwang University in Essen.
From 1978 till 1986 she directed the Bremer Tanz Theater, for the
first three years in co-direction with Gerhard Bohner. Thanks to
their aesthetic lucidity, Hoffmann’s pieces developed in Bremen
and afterwards at Schauspielhaus Bochum made a contribution to
the international recognition of German dance theater. She
resides in Berlin and primarily directs the local Musiktheater
since 1995. She stages Wagner’s Lohengrin at the same time as
Moments at the Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe.
