Broken Lights on Friday Night

We were back together with our opening week jury last night, the kids who got this year's CCA going. And they were ready to be back!!! The energy was high for Broken Lights, a dance piece by Saburo Teshigawara that involves, well, a LOT of broken glass... 

But first, we got a bit crazy in the parking lot. As soon as I pulled in Lars jumped on our car - look at that good mood smile! The car was swarmed before I even got it parked...

TROPHIES IN OSTERFELD

So you get your fix of glitter today.... here are some photos of our trophy making in Osterfeld!

TROPHY MAKING IN ESSEN

On Friday morning, we started one of the most important pre-ceremony tasks: MAKING THE TROPHIES!!! Covered in a secret recipe of chocolate and wax, with a tonne or two of glitter, these will be given to the artists who receive awards at the year-end Awards Ceremony (Sept 27 in Duisburg!). Jenna whipped up the chocolate, while the kids got into the decorations...

El Triunfo de la Libertad at PACT

On Thursday, we went to see El Triunfo de la Libertad in Essen, a performance by La Ribot, Juan Domínguez, and Juan Loriente. We started the night in true VIP style - with GLITZER SHOES!!!

A Visit to the Kunstmuseum

On Tuesday morning we headed with the jury back to the Kunstmuseum Bochum, to see Kunstmuseum by Gregor Schneider, in the VIP autos!! 

Fred Frith - Fragen und Antworten

Autographs and Improv with Fred Frith

On Monday night the jury was back at work, riding in the party cars to Essen for an improvisation/sound art concert by Fred Frith. 

First though, we had a mini-dance party in the parking lot. Here's Maxi strutting 'like his sister' before the show - what a pose!
