Anna Degen | Ponderosa in Stolzenhagen | June 19 – 25, 2023

Field report on the project by Anna Degen/ad hoc dance company – with Momo Tanner & Nils Röhner
For me as a choreographer, it was a very enriching experience to take up the multiple task performance as a working method in Ponderosa. Especially in the initial phase of this research, it was of great importance to put my theme into practice within the trio and to understand how it can unfold there over time and take on clearer forms. I am now more fascinated than ever by the challenging possibilities that arise from the simultaneous realisation of several tasks with movement, music and image.
For Momo Fujita Tanner, Nils Röhner and myself, the time at Ponderosa was wonderful, because our rehearsal days were very positively fuelled by the proximity to nature, the opportunity to work in different studios, indoors and outdoors, and the daily exchange with the other artists around us.

Thanks to the financial support of tanz weit draußen and the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media, we were able to work on our theme in peace and quiet far away from the big city and explore new artistic paths intensively. Thank you once again for your trust in my work.
