This is what happens when kids get backstage... and upstairs

Soapéra - Q & A

After Friday's performance of Soapéra, we talked to choreographer Mathilde Monnier:

Soapera - the second visit

On Friday we saw Soapéra again with a different group of kids. After Thursday's schaumparty, we were pretty excited to see the show once more--and Friday managed to be just as awesome. There are a lot of photos in this post, but to put it in perspective, these are a selection from 182 from the night. Needless to say... it was a good time.

we had lots of time before the show started, so we had an impromptu parking-lot dance party... (stay tuned for videos)

Damian walked on the stage after the show... and slipped on the wet foamy floor

we talked to the four dancers in the show after. my favourite question: "do you feel like stars?" when they answered no, the kids replied "well you should!" 

the venue had to close, but the jury still managed to write those evaluation forms... stay tuned for this show's awards because they are sure to be original...

A lesson in putting magnets on a van

Soapera - the first visit

On Thursday we saw Soapéra, the dance-art installation by Mathilde Monnier. Here's some of the Bochum crew in the car, Pascal and Damla.
