THE FINDING OF ESSENCE – WORKSHOP
Rainer Behr’s work is about finding a space where movement begins.
Reaching a condition, aiming for body language.
An inner necessity for adding movement to space.
Cutting out what’s not part of it and by doing so, finding an essence which speaks clearly.
The workshop episodes are in three parts:
// technique/ class
// repertoire work,
// creative part.
Rainer Behr was born in Neustadt an der Waldnaab (Germany) in 1964. After his apprenticeship as gymnastics teacher he studied dance at the Folkwang Hochschule (Folkwang University) in Essen. He created his first choreographic works in 1989. With
