RUHRPOTT FESTIVAL: MOUVOIR / Stephanie Thiersch /Köln/ ´Under green Ground´ The world as image and conception: In the media era there is no immediate self. Models determine our identity and our thinking. However, the great variety of possible roles also creates a new, special kind of liberty. Together with her choreographic partner and dancer Alexandra Naudet, the Cologne choreographer and media artist Stephanie Thiersch explores the complicated interaction of idea and flesh, of image-memory and the female body. As an ironic effect, her various personas are interrupted by a persistently pottering technical crew. Especially the stage manageress emerges as a threatening competition for the main actress - right up to the showdown, with sparks flying. Stephanie Thiersch studied English, Romance languages and literatures and media while pursuing training in classical and modern dance. She has been a member of various independent dance and theater groups. In 1997 she founded the group MOUVOIR and since then has created numerous, internationally presented works incorporating dance / theater and media / video art. This presentation is part of the North Rhine-Westphalia festival in Estonia - RUHRPOTT.
