A COMPLEXION CHANGE
Transnational & Intercultural Diplomacy
"FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND?"
Fountainhead® Tanz Theatre
Photographic Exhibition - Visual Documentation
Fotoausstellung - Visuelle Dokumentation
July 1 - August 31, 2011
Vernissage, July 1st, 7 pm
Foyer im Rathaus Schöneberg / Rathaus Schöneberg (city hall) foyer
John-F.-Kennedy Platz 1, 10825 Berlin-Schöneberg
Exhibition description
The exhibition documents the history of
Fountainhead® Tanz Theatre
in association with
Gabriela Rosa da Silva/Paris
&
International Artists
Fountainhead® Tanz Theatre was founded by Prof. Donald Muldrow Griffith, Prof. Gayle McKinney Griffith, Lynnda Curry, Ricky Powell and Detlef Bäcker, four American artists and a German colleague, who met in Berlin during 1979 at Theater des Westens and decided to undertake intercultural, interdisciplinary and international productions in dance, theatre, television, workshops, film/video festivals and publications.
This exhibition paints a picture of the activities of various people during their historical contributions to Berlin, elsewhere and hence, the portrait seeks to prevent these undertakings from becoming "Footprints in the Sand?"
Beschreibung der Ausstellung
Die Ausstellung dokumentiert die Geschichte des
Fountainhead® Tanz Theatre
in Verbindung mit
Gabriela Rosa da Silva/Paris
&
Internationalen KünstlerInnen
Fountainhead® Tanz Theatre wurde von Prof. Donald Muldrow Griffith, Prof. Gayle McKinney Griffith, Lynnda Curry, Ricky Powell und Detlef Bäcker, vier amerikanischen Künstlern und einem deutschen Kollegen, die sich in Berlin 1979 am Theater des Westens trafen, gegründet. Sie entschieden sich, mit der Durchführung von interkulturellen, interdisziplinären und internationalen Produktionen in den Bereichen Tanz, Theater, Fernsehen, Workshops, Film/Video Festivals und Publikationen zu beginnen.
Die Ausstellung zeichnet ein Bild der Aktivitäten verschiedener Menschen bei ihren historischen Beiträgen für Berlin und andere Orte, mit der Intention, diese Unternehmungen davor zu schützen, "Footprints in the Sand?" zu werden.
