Real Poses en – Canan Erek

Real Poses

REAL POSES dedicates to a language which is spoken in silence but which is in the same time in deep interrelation with our talks. It´s not only the spoken word which makes you understand. The body talks as well. More often than we think. What comes first: the things heard or seen? Words or body – what appeals to us.

“Plumbing the depths of body language is nothing new in itself. But to explore it as a phenomenon of the zeitgeist offers refreshing insights. And that’s what Erek and her comrades-in-arms do.”
Tanzpresse.de 19.11.13 by Annette Jaensch

“Canan Erek develops dance from the observation of reality. …All in all, “Real Poses” takes on a complex and broad theme. The evening contains enchanting elements, but sometimes lacks conceptual rigour. But it is convincing that Canan Erek continues to hold on to these connections at a point in time when the wave of reality copies has long since subsided. It shows: this is her theme, independent of fashions and real or supposed preferences of curators. One must also first come to such clarity.”
