Rough Proposals is an experimental platform for the presentation of artistic works by students of the international Master's ​programme in Choreography and Performance at the Institute of Applied Theatre Studies in Giessen. In numerous ​choreographies, performances, installations, works in progress etc., eleven students give the audience an insight into their artistic ​work, explorations, and research processes.

Rough Proposals 2024 has been developed within the course, and with the guidance of Dr. Martina Ruhsam and with the support ​of Prof. Dr. Bojana Kunst.

This year’s edition will be presented in the framework of Hessische Theatertage 2024.

With the financial support of the Hessian Theatre Academy.

A lamp bulb can contain 47% silicon and 53% oxygen and the housing of a stage lighting equipment is 90% aluminum with traces of iron, the same iron present in the human body. To name what one holds is to touch the history of things. The time of things. To touch the fact that things take time. This is an invitation to a small audience to spend a fragment of their day at the theater space together with three performers, letting time, labor and leisure unfold.

Das Werk behandelt das Drama der Migranten, die die Amerikas zu Fuß überqueren, um die Vereinigten Staaten zu erreichen. Besonders im Mittelpunkt steht die Migrationsroute durch den Darien-Dschungel, zwischen Panama und Kolumbien. Mit dieser Aufführung wollen Santiago Mariño und Juan Camilo Rojas der Diaspora auf dieser gefährlichen Pilgerreise Tribut zollen, indem sie aufzeigen, wie dieses lebensbedrohliche Ereignis eine Folge der gewaltsamen kolonialen Realitäten ist, die in Lateinamerika etabliert wurden. Tanz, Performance und Theater werden die politischen und emotionalen Komplexitäten der Odyssee, den Darien-Dschungel zu Fuß zu überqueren—eine der topographisch herausforderndsten Gegenden auf dem Planeten—aufdecken, während die lateinamerikanischen Kosmologien des Fortschritts, die Relativierung der Menschenrechte und die asymmetrischen Machtverhältnisse zwischen dem globalen Norden und Süden thematisiert werden. 

Das Stück wird im Rahmen des DanceNexus Festivals in Wiesbaden gezeigt.

Das DanceNexus Festival wird von der Gemeinschaft der Freiberufliche Tanzkünstler_innen Wiesbaden & Mainz organisiert, zu der auch der MA Choreografie und Performance Student Johannes Schropp gehört. Dies wird die erste Ausgabe des Festivals sein.

Amargi ist ein collective research Projekt, das durch teils öffentliche, teils geschlossene Prozesse von Vorträgen und Workshops zu einer Performance führt. Das Projekt wird drei Monate lang im Kontext des diesjährigen Implantieren Festivals mit dem Thema „Ein Festival auf den Ruinen der Universität” stattfinden, bei dem das Lernen von und mit anderen im Fokus steht. Thematisch werden wir uns mit der Jineolojî und ihren Methoden beschäftigen und gemeinsam (künstlerisch) forschen. 

Genaue Zeiten werden noch bekannt gegeben.

DE: Was machen wir wenn die Waschmaschine läuft? Kaffee trinken? Ein Buch lesen? Musik hören oder machen? Arbeiten? Carearbeit? Lohnarbeit? Die elektrische Waschmaschine ist die Erfindung der industriellen Revolution, die die meiste Arbeitszeit freisetze, weibliche Arbeitszeit wohlgemerkt. „Montag, Dienstag, Waschtag - normal is just a cycle on the washing machine“ will Dimensionen weiblicher Arbeitskraft reflektieren und sich im Herstorytelling üben – auf der Bühne: Waschmaschinen und Zubehör, 4 Performerinnen und ein Klavier. Zu Musik von Komponistinnen des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts, sowie Klängen von Waschmaschinen und Waschutensilien, verhandelt die Performance kulturelle Bedeutungen des Waschens und stellt Fragen ob der Möglichkeit der weiblichen Befreiung durch Technik. Als Teil der Aufführung gibt es einen solidarischen Waschsalon, in dem kostenlos gewaschen werden kann.

Dieser wird vom 23.- 29.09.2024 im Foyer des Theater neben dem Turm tagsüber geöffnet sein.

EN: Monday, Tuesday, Washing Day - 'normal is just a cycle on the washing machine' reflects on dimensions of the female workforce by practicing theatrical herstorystelling – on stage: washing machines and equipment, 4 female performers and a piano. Accompanied by music of contemporary and modern classic female composers like as well as sounds of washing machines and washing equipment, the performance artistically discourses on the significance and implications of washing as a cultural practice and questions the possibility of women’s liberation through technology. A solidary laudromat where clothes can be washed for free is part of the performace.

Opening hours are September 23 - 29 during the day in the entrance area of Theater neben dem Turm.

"we burn books, we hunt witch, [...] we turn truth to silence" (CocoRosie) hexen tragen wissen in sich und tragen es weiter. wissen ist macht und hexen sind mächtig. sie treten in austausch: kooperieren statt rivalisieren. hexen sind nicht verstummt, sie flüstern nur. und so tun wir es ihnen gleich. viele künstler*innen vor uns haben hexen ins licht gerückt. wir sprachen mit unseren vorreiter*innen. sie teilten ihr wissen mit uns, schenkten uns abgespieltes, liehen uns eingelagertes und vollzogen rituale mit uns. in sharing witchcraft spinnt sich ein netz aus dem gesammelten und nimmt die gestalt einer lecture performance mit video, sound und magischen momenten an. ein raum voll von übereinandergeschichtetem und verwobenem. hex hex, xoxo.

"we burn books, we hunt witch, [...] we turn truth to silence" (CocoRosie) witches carry knowledge within them and pass it on. knowledge is power and witches are powerful. they engage in exchange: cooperate instead of rivalry. witches have not fallen silent, they only whisper. and so we do the same. many artists before us have brought witches into the light. we talked to our forerunners. they shared their knowledge with us, lent us stored material and performed rituals with us. in sharing witchcraft, a web is spun from the collected material and takes the form of a lecture performance with video, sound and magical moments. a space full of overlapping and interwoven. The performance will mainly be in German.
