Cie zeitSprung was founded in 2013 by Meret Schlegel and Kilian Haselbeck. Meret and Kilian met each other at Tanzhaus Z\u00fcrich in 2010. Kilian was dancing in a piece by Philippe Sa\u00efre while Meret was the director of Tanzhaus Zurich. She invited him to create a solo piece during a residency. During this time the two got more and more interested in each other\u2019s work as dancers.<\/p>\n
A year later, Meret resigned her position at Tanzhaus: she felt the pull to go back on stage once again. Through a fortuitous coincidence, Meret and Kilian both found themselves in Berlin around this time, and brainstormed their first ideas for a collaborative work over a mug of hot mulled wine at an outdoor Christmas Market.<\/p>\n
From these first sketches arose a short piece, \u201cTo be or Orthop\u00e4die,\u201d whose premiere made an unexpected splash in Switzerland. This success inspired the duo to continue developing what became the evening-length work \u201cOrthop\u00e4die or to be,\u201d which is still touring nationally and internationally and was honored with a 2015 with Swiss Dance Award.<\/p>\n
The short version was placed on the Priority List of aerowaves \/spring forward 13 and toured Switzerland with tanzfaktor interregio13. Cie zeitSprung represents the pair\u2019s collaboration, but also positions itself as a collective, a network, and a spider\u2019s web of artists of the most varied backgrounds and generations. For \u201cZ\u00fcrich tanzt\u201d, they worked together with the actor Andreas Storm to create the display window project \u201cSilent Disco.\u201d In 2015 they created the group piece \u201cKomplizen\u201d which premiered in the Tanzhaus Z\u00fcrich.<\/p>\n
In 2016 they were invited with both pieces, Ortop\u00e4die and Komplizen to the International Beijing Dance Festival. By then the strong need and desire of the whole company to refine and sharpen their first group piece let them recreate or better create the new piece Komplizen RELOADED which premiered successfully in November 2016 in Zurich.
\nEver since then they are touring with all their pieces in Switzerland, Europe and Asia. It is a strong desire to all members of the zeitSprung to not only perform all over but also to share their work and interests by teaching workshops, collaborating with local art scenes, bring dance to audiences with no traditional access to performing arts like in prisons, solidarity association etc.
\nin the meantime they have also created different participatory street actions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","event_category":[373313,373318],"organisation_type":[350142],"class_list":["post-1305448","organisation","type-organisation","status-publish","hentry","event_category-dance-en","event_category-dance-ballet-en","search-detail"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/organisation\/1305448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/organisation"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/organisation"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1305448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=1305448"},{"taxonomy":"organisation_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/organisation_type?post=1305448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
