Sänger ohne Schatten, aka The Spaghetti Show
It's Friday night, at the end of the first week of school. We headed out to see Sänger ohne Schatten, the new piece by Boris Nikitin, but arrived early, and were stuck in the car in the rain. What else to do? Put on some tunes, turn them up loud and have an AUTO PARTY.

A Second Visit to Le Sacre Du Printemps
Thursday - and we're back at it. A new group of kids headed to Duisburg to see Castellucci's Le Sacre Du Printemps and judge it for the second time. Here are the girls from Herten!
A ROMANTIC Evening with Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker
On Sunday, we closed the opening weekend by attending a performance of Verklärte Nacht, a dance-piece by choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. Set to beautiful music by Schönberg and a poem about a woman finding true love (while pregnant with another man's child!), there was romance in the air of the Jahrhunderthalle.
The girls from Osterfeld!

A Friday Night Premiere - De Materie
After spending the afternoon at Melt, the jury made an appearance at one of the Ruhrtriennale's biggest shows this year: De Materie. To kick it off, they walked the red carpet in front of dozens of people!
A selfie with Castellucci
There are more photos to come, but here's a great one from yesterday: Ken taking a selfie with Romeo Castellucci, director of Le Sacre du Printemps.
MELT-ing, in the rain
On Friday, we got the premiere day underway with a visit to Urbane Künste's installation at Duisburg's Landschaftspark, Melt. Unfortunately, the installation is outside--and it was pouring rain. Nonetheless, we made the most of it, and the jury were the first members of the public to test it out!
Melt is made of 49 (not 50, we were told!) aluminum plates with nearly 2000 steel springs underneath that make it bounce-y and fun to walk, jump and run on. Here are our tentative first steps - what the photos don't reveal is how LOUD this piece is.... (stay tuned for videos to see!)

After the premiere of De Materie on Friday, we went with the kinder jury to the Ruhrtriennale's opening party, where we met the people, got to know each other a little better and kicked back a LOT of sugary drinks.

WELCOME TO THE RUHRTRIENNALE 2014: Starting with.... "Doing Kitchen"
We're back in the Ruhr for year three of the Children's Choice Awards! Look out for the cars on the autobahn, as we'll be ALLLL over the region the next 7 weeks chauffeuring the VIP's around.
For our first jury visit of 2014, we headed to Duisburg for the frietagsküche's "Doing Kitchen," a performance/meal where artists, performers and kids get to hang out and eat together ahead of the festival's official start. With a full meal included, we were feeling pretty optimistic that this performance would go over well from the start.
Here are 2 VIP's from Essen, posing with their VIP wheels to get the show started!
