DOCU BREATH MADE VISIBLE ABOUT FAMOUS CHOREOGAPHER ANNA HALPRIN

The American choreographer and dance therapist Anna Halprin recently passed away at the age of 100.

Anna Halprin (July 13, 1920) helped redefine dance in post-war America and pioneered the experimental art form known as postmodern dance. She called herself a breaker of the rules of modern dance. When she got cancer in the early 1970s, she used dance to heal herself. She then developed innovative programs and dance performances for people with cancer and AIDS.

The documentary Breath Made Visible is the first full-length documentary about the life and career of this pioneer of 20th-century American dance. The film ranges from Halprin’s early explorations of dance during her youth and her experimental performances on a stage under California redwoods to her spectacular European tours, her retirement due to illness and her triumphant comeback at the age of 80.

ndt 2 DANcER jESSE cALLAERT and his PODCASTS FASE ii FASE

Jesse Callaert, dancer at NDT 2, was inspired to create his own podcast series, Fase II Fase. Intrigued by the idea of sitting down with friends, fellow artists and creators to have heartfelt, deep conversations, Jesse built his own frame for a podcast. For example, in the first episodes he invited choreographer Yoann Bourgeois with his partner Marie Bourgeois, and talked to former NDT dancer Sebastian Kristensen Haynes.

There are already a number of podcasts online. Recently, Jesse published his latest episode with NDT 1 dancer Lea Ved.
