Just finished creating a piece with some amazing high school students from all over the world at the International Schools Theater Associations Berlin Festival (www.ista.co.uk). This is a totally cool organization, and we made 4 pieces dealing with the history of the Berlin wall, which could so easily turn cliché.. but this time, it didn't.

AND NOW, I WILL DANCE IN PUBLIC! It's been a while!! But this fall season is packed:


IN:

1. AUDIO BALLERINAS

Rachel will perform with the Audio Ballerinas, Benoit Maubreys ingenious noisemaking children, on October 25 in Berlin.

Sunday, October 25th
between 10 AM and 15 H
(we'll probably perform a few times during that time)
Berlinische Galerie
Landesmuseum für Moderne Kunst, Fotografie und Architektur
Alte Jakobstraße 124-128
10969 Berlin
free and open to the public
great for kids!!



AT:

2. ART GROWS HERE
a showing of works developed through the first ever Berlin Fieldwork session by:

Summer Banks
Rachel Brooker
Alissa Romanow
Felix Ruckert

Wednesday, October 28, 20:30
schwelle 7 (www.schwelle7.de)
tix: sliding scale 5-12 euro (you slide yourself)

includes an introduction to the Fieldwork feedback method, which frankly rocks.
If you are an artist living in Berlin, you want to know about this organization-
if not, you want to see thoughtfully developed art. come see.



AND FINALLY IN:

3. MY PATRIOT ACT
US-born choreographer Rachel Brooker’s latest installment in an ongoing conversation with her homeland, both the actual physical and political entity and the intangible country carried within... 
Direct, personal, and close to the bone.  Here, the personal is political, the political is the material of daily life, and the rubble remaining after social 
change can be the graveyard of the possible, or the source of all that comes after. 

If you saw Oh, Beautiful: My Patriot Act in January 2009, you've seen some of the material in this piece, but most of it is new- hence the new title. 


SNEAK PREVIEW:: Amsterdam, OT301, weekend of October 31 (Date/time TBA)


PREMIERE: November 7, schwelle 7, Berlin, 20:30

(additional show on November 8) 


US PREMIERE: November 21, Common Ground Theater, Durham, NC, 20:00

(additional show on November 22)

 



bis dann!

Rachel Brooker
