Black Song – A Celebration Of The Unknown
Press kit and photographs (please contact us to recive the login password) conception, production, dance: Katharina Vogel, music: Frank Heierli, lights: Daniel Müller, costume: Barbara Krämer The performance explores: How do I act and move outside tradition. Which anchors remain, when there is no tradition? Do I have access to my core, do I have a sense of self, a sense of belonging to humanity. How can I reclaim my body and put the profound experience of the sensual at the centre of my research? How can I embrace the interrelation between body sensation, emotion, thoughts and find expression through movement? I listen carefully and take the pain back to myself. I stopp suppressing space and movement inside me, I learn to surrender: to movement, to the unknown, to love.

portraitKatharina Vogel‘s work is unique, authentic and highly personal. Her movement is deeply internalised and emotionally charged. Vogel presents a visceral dance, where the economy of gestures allows the body to install itself with power, not needing anything more than it‘s indivisible absoluteness. Her choreographic universe is dense and concentrated. An elaborate way of directing and positioning the body as a source of incantation and incarnation - of the senses and of life. Le Devoir Montréal und M-G Rotie London Trained in ballet and contemporary, inspired by the japanese butoh dance, Katharina
Vogel‘s main research has come from a consistent exploration of body and
movement deriving from landscape and elemental forces. She combines an ability
to embody internal states and atmospheres with a deeply personal approach, questioning
conventional forms and aesthetics in the arts. Influences from contact improvisation
and continuum movement enrich the ongoing process of an open movement research
into the inherent mysterious wisdom of the body. 1995 her first choreography
Chief Josef was Laureate of the Bancs d‘Essai International. Between
1995-2004 Katharina Vogel has been creating, producing and performing eight
choreographic projects, which where represented in Switzerland, Germany, France,
Italy, England, Hungary, Romania, USA, Canada, South-Africa.

selection of pressreviewsLe Devoir l Chief Josef l Katharina Vogel‘s work is unique, authentic and highly personal. Her choreography Chief Josef oszillates between butoh, minimalism and primitive art. Alone on stage, Vogel presents a visceral dance, where the economy of gestures allows the body - covered in drying clay which forms dusty clouds by each movement - to install itself with power, not needing anything more than it‘s indivisible absoluteness. An elaborate way of directing and positioning the body as a source of incantation and incarnation - of the senses and of life. Der Bund l Chief Josef l For one hour a square lit with pin spots is transformed into a metaphysical life-cell. Perfectly crafted, slow, ambivalent movement appear and dissolve. Atmospheres proliferate and grow out of body and space like some sort of emotional architecture. The images she creates are strong. The concentration and clear, concise expression of Katharina Vogel's unconventional choreographic language are convincing. La Voix l Chief Josef l Terrifying. And impressive. Neue Zürcher Zeitung l Chief Josef l Most impressive part of the evening was Chief Josef with its magical atmosphere. M-G Rotie London l Chief Josef l Vogel‘s performance happily came as a forceful embodiment of the potential for butoh to move forward out of confusion. Transforming from one sharply executed image to another, her movement was deeply internalised and emotionally charged, with a distilled economy of gestures. Trained in ballet, contemporary and butoh, Vogel‘s main research has come from a consistent exploration of movement deriving from landscape and elemental forces, combining an ability to embody internal states and atmospheres with a deeply personal and autobiographical approach. In her sensual opening sequence, half naked and clay-covered, she undulated with celebratory energy. She pulls endless faces, sad, neurotic, grotesque, funny and with a playful kiss in darkness in the end, defiantly powerful. Journal du Jura l Eating the sound and drinking a fish l Vogel's style is extreme, extroverted, lyrical. Her movements burst into space like some sort of abdominal spasm. This research shows to what degree mankind has not yet stopped to explore it‘s capacity of movement. Der Bund l Eating the sound and drinking a fish l Katharina Vogel consequently pursues her experimental search for new movement. She let herself float in motion, unpredictable like a waterplant being moved by changing currents. Difficult to tell what is actio and what is reactio. A fascinating physical play between interior and exterior. Basellandschaftliche Zeitung l X-legged Sally l She tells us the story of longing, searching and finding in close proximity. A love declaration to love. Total Theatre London l Velvet Iglu l Artaud would have loved the first piece in this evening's double bill of 'new butoh performances'. This extraordinary performance seemed to be ripped, raw and bleeding, straight from the core of the collective unconscious. Powerful sources - both seen and unseen, heard and unheard, internal and external - pummelled vogel's graceful ballerina's body. Sometimes she was responding viscerally to a spiritual force emanating from deep within. It felt like watching a magnificent swan in its final death throes. Vogel's performance eloquently demonstrated the extraordinary power of butoh to communicate on a purely emotional level. Frequently painful and uncomfortable as they may be to watch, performances as brilliant as Vogel's lodge themselves in the heart for a lifetime. Bieler Tagblatt l corps liquide l Covered only by a transparent material, her half naked body moves extremely slow and in absolute silence. Every single gesture, every muscle is subject to this almost stand-still. The smallest changes are deliberately executed. For the audience the dancer‘s body seems to float effortlessly in space. Katharina Vogel let her body simply be, rather than express itself. Utterly concentrated on that existence, the delightful exploration of every small movement, the body itself has taken over the choreography it seems. Katharina Vogel presents the audience an ode to the beauty of the human body. With her almost motionless slow-motion, she shows with perfection and clarity the course of an instinctive, 'primitive' life. 'corps liquide' restricts itself to the minimum. The silent slow-motion dance stands in extreme (and positive) contrast to today‘s celebration of speed. tanz-danse l <blut> l Katharina Vogel‘s shining presence captures our attention even in her simple actions: breathing, crumpling red paper between the hands, collecting pieces of white chalk from a red handbag. We are invited into some sort of primordial state, to which the choreographer has easely access. Instinctively trusting her guidance, we dive into a magical world, knowing that she will get us through securely. One needs a stable centre in order to get out of balance. Katharina Vogel, beautiful and human despite her grimasses, states a good example. collaborationsMusic l Nick Parkin London l Martin Schütz Biel l Phil Minton London l Dorothea Schürch Zurich l Kristin Norderval New York/Oslo l Jean-Philippe Héritier Lausanne l Hanna E.
