Tanzlabor Montréal 2011
Five Degrees of Separation
It was a great success / ein großer Erfolg.
"In Montréal entwickelte Kuhnert gemeinsam mit den Tänzern Christian Garmatter, Raphael Hillebrand und Youngung Kim aka B-Boy Jaekwon sowie der kanadischen Tänzerin Marie-Ève Quilicot seine erste für eine breitere Öffentlichkeit bestimmte Choreographie. In „Five Degrees of Separation“ setzt er sich mit Wendepunkten menschlicher Beziehungen auseinander: Wen betrachten wir als Freund, als Liebhaber, als Feind? Und warum? Mechtild Manus, Sprecherin der Jury und Leiterin des Goethe-Instituts in Montréal, überzeugt vor allem Kuhnerts Einsatz „von Video als Ausgangspunkt der Recherche, die Beteiligung des Medienkünstlers Enkidu rankX und die poetische Verbindung von Break Dance und zeitgenössischem Tanz.“
Die Uraufführung ist für den 3. November 2011 in Herne beim Pottporus Festival geplant. (link) >>

Enkidu with Kooné, Julio Cesar Iglesias & Joy Ritter @ Pottporus
Had some great fun and learned a lot in Herne & Wuppertal @ Pottporus festival. Did some scenography for Kooné's piece "And what happen after...". Glorious dancers to: Julio Cesar Iglesias & Joy Ritte where a pure delight. Hope to be working with all of them again soon. (Show will be done probably on the 11th or/and 12th of Dec. 09 in Potsdam - Fabrik / Waschhaus. See you there, if you like.
in Weimar with Price Mio and Louise Wagner
We went to Weimar and took a very decent part in the background of the opening of the exhibition "Weimar 1919 - Chancen einer Republik". It was fun, sadly there's no documentation, so you have to take my word for it ![]()
I worked there with Prince Mio and Louise Wagner, they where dancing and I installed an interactive video projection for/on them.

Anyway, I will soon upload the Videos for The Rift part 1 & 2 for your pleasure. Sadly Stage6 has gone down, and so I was forced to downgrade to Veoh, but nervermind... if you download the Clip it will still be in HD Divx quality.
So that's it, I will soon post all the infos on on our exhibition @ ZMF (you can still see some fine art by Maki Shimizu, Henry Banks & my humble self there (for those of you from Berlin) it's at "Zur Möbelfabrik" - Brunnenstraße 10 in Mitte.
