THE COMMUNITY – a dance theatre production

realised by Produktion Juliette Villemin GbR with a choreography of Carla Jordão
2024, Köln & Stuttgart

Hey, join us, come together and be surprised. Don´t be afraid. Celebrate your uniqueness as part of our society. Enjoy yourself and dance with us

THE COMMUNITY

The concept of the dance performance The Community was created by Stuttgart choreographer Juliette Villemin, who died suddenly in Jan 2023. Now the Cologne choreographer Carla Jordão has taken on the task of continuing it according to her own artistic ideas and setting it in motion with four performers and a musician.
With the invitation to become part of the community, the dance performance takes up the social longing to experience community in a particularized society and meets it through the offer of communication. From the opposite, the performers playfully and dance-like open the circle to situations of communal togetherness, of belonging, of being apart, emotional and absurd, and extend it to the audience:

BE PART OF US

For the experience of moving together, even if only for a fluid moment.

THE UNSEEN SIGN – a film documentary

How is a dance piece created, how does contemporary dance work and how does an ensemble of dancers find an expressive movement language under the direction of a choreographer?

In the documentary THE UNSEEN SIGN, the choreographer and her team explore these questions, from the project idea, research and rehearsals to the premiere of the dance performance DIE SEHERINNEN in January 2022 in the project space of the Kunstverein Wagenhalle.

The film focuses on the question of our non-verbal communication behavior. What does our physical-gestural behavior say about us and what does it hide? Are we becoming seers.

Die Seherinnen – a dance performance

A movement vocabulary beyond spoken word that is grotesque, witty, gentle, wild, poetic, energetic, associative .”

(Stuttgarter Zeitung, January 29/30, 2022 by Petra Mosbacher-Dix)

https://www.swr.de/swr2/buehne/die-seherinnen-im-projektraum-kunstverein-wagenhalle-104.html

Surely you often ask yourself in conversation how you come across to others? Because you know, just like your counterpart, that your appearance, posture, gestures and facial expressions communicate. And you have the uneasy feeling that it speaks of another reality that the other person might believe to be true.

Our bodies tell stories about who we are and who we want to be. 16 people have made themselves available to the project and provide insights into their personal body language. The dance project DIE SEHERINNEN by choreographer Juliette Villemin is an exercise in and a reflection on our non-verbal communication behaviour.

Premiere on 27 January 2022 in the project space Kunstverein Wagenhalle.

Other performances January 28-30 and April 24 at APOLLONIA, 23 rue Boecklin, 67000 STRASBOURG The Seers – La Montagne / Panoramas (lamontagne-traficdart.com)

A photo project in collaboration with the artist and photographer Daniela Wolf.

In the project “A Room to Yourself”, the dancer and choreographer Juliette Villemin, inspired by the observational and questioning photography of Daniela Wolf, embarks on a search for the possibilities of her physical expression. A selection of the resulting photo series will be on view at the Kulturkiosk Stuttgart from 19 December 2021 and Sara Dahme will lead a discussion with the artists at 4 pm.

The project was funded by two scholarships from the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.

With the kind support of Sara Dahme (KULTURKIOSK)
