The second weekend with workshop and theater visit was also a complete success! Saturday was all about Shakespeare and the expressive form of movement and dance theater. Playing with speeds, levels, gestures, poses – these are important means of expressing a story without words but with the means of the body.
The stories that were the subject of this day were put down on paper by the English poet William Shakespeare almost 500 years ago. Romeo loves Juliet, Hamlet loves Ophelia, King Lear loves his daughters. And yet all these stories end with more than a few dead bodies and broken hearts. Why is love so often accompanied by hatred and jealousy, so that a happy ending often seems ever more distant? The team behind the production “For you my love” also asked themselves this question.
We watched the dance theater piece together at the Schauburg, the Theater der Jugend der Stadt München, and were impressed by the many different ideas that the three actors and two dancers surprised us with while telling the stories.
