LOCKED IN
Three Women. One Apartment. Lockdown. A Danceartproject created by Company STEVE LOCKED IN focuses on the relationship between three very different young women who happen to live together during the first lockdown of the pandemic in 2020. It is a danceartproject that reflects on the changes in behaviour and perception among the women towards each other and how their relationship changes over the course of the pandemic. While eagerly wishing to be alone, in the end they are just very glad NOT to be alone in this challenging phase of their lives. Length: about 15 min Online Showing: April 22nd 8pm - May 1st 10pm 22`
Public Showing: Dec.13th.21`, Mime Centrum Berlin Studio 2 |

In the event of a Finissage Performance Verena Steffen and Sinja Völl from Company STEVE will translate the images of the artist Vanko Zhou and their themes into a short contemporary dance piece. In partly improvisational, partly synchronously choreographed sequences, an interesting interplay between the exhibited images and the moving bodies in space is created.
REGARDING CORONA-IT IS AN OUTSIDE EVENT WITH ONE ON ONE VISIT IN THE GALLERY-NO PREREGISTRATION NECESSARY!

Support for Company STEVE! One might think that the year 2020 is not the best year to found a contemporary dance company. Nevertheless, we have done so and, especially in these times, we would like to look ahead optimistically and, above all, continue to challenge our body and creative spirit! Therefore we are trying everything to be able to realise our projects despite the circumstances and simply continue working. At this point we would like to ask you for your support. Donate the amount for 1, 2 or 3 tickets not bought in the last months or a foundation grant of your choice for our COMPANY. We are grateful for everyone who participates! |

Dance little Sparrow
2019/2020
DANCE LITTLE SPARROW - Rebellious - sensitive - looking for meaning! Thus, the 50s of post-war Germany are pictured.
A Modern Dancetheater Piece developed together with Luisa Winterfeld.
After the death of her grandfather, Klaus Raschen, choreographer Verena Steffen found his autobiography, a compilation of numerous diary entries. Deeply impressed by the intensity of the texts, she and the choreographer Luisa Winterfeld decided to choreograph a dance and drama piece to portray her grandfathers story.
The scenes spiral into each other like bird swarms in the sky, building constant new formations with characters meeting again and again as if by chance. Sometimes bold and determined, sometimes torn by self-doubt, the characters try to master the upheavals of the post-war era.
The biography with excerpts of the original journal form the structure of the piece and allow the audience a direct way into the theme, forcing it to actively look into and learn from the past.
(Duration: about 65min)
Premiere: 16. 17. 18. May 2019, Theaterforum Kreuzberg Berlin
Guest Performances: DANCEWORKS Berlin, ACUD Theatre Berlin (pushed due to the pandemic), forum2 Theater Munich, Gymnasium Ottobrunn Auditorium Munich, Theaterhalle Am Dom Würzburg (pushed due to the pandemic)
DANCE LITTLE SPARROW has been shown in different theaters as well as in schools as part of the curriculum.
If you are interested in showing DANCE LITTLE SPARROW in your theatre/festival/school please CONTACT us for more informations.
