Different Rooms Shape
Not For Free
No Noise Reduction
All three games involve the audience in the performance in an entertaining way: the audience participates in the creation of a choreography. Various rules, which remind of the game 'memory' and roulette, determine the way the spectator can actively influence the scenery and the course of the performance and can become 'the winner of the night'.In the first game 'Different Rooms Shape' the dancers are challenged by the time limit of 20 minutes: with the couraguos help of one member of the audience they might succeed in fulfilling their enduring task.
In the second game 'Not For Free' a jury of three voluntary judges helps the dancers to create the funny and unpredictable 'choregraphy of the night'.
The third game, the christmas game 'No Noise Reduction', is a kind of 'audioplay': The task is to recognize christmas songs in the performed rhythms of the two solo dancers with the chance to gain the victory in the following 'audio-visual memory'.As the dancers have to prove their talent in improvising and adapting, for the candidates the following qualities come in handy: visual quick time memory and farsightedness, determination and faith, courage for riskyness and humour - and it's prize day!
