In the series „Leise schäumt das Jetzt“, Britta Lieberknecht explores improvisation as performance in various formations. The encounter of dance and music is crafted into a poetic work with ever-new facets—100% improvised before the eyes and ears of the audience.

Leise schäumt das Jetzt #2“ brings together musicians Hannah Weirich, known as a violinist of innovative compositions in contemporary music with the Ensemble Musikfabrik, and Eva Zöllner, a globally active accordionist who plays her instrument with an exceptionally rich sound spectrum. They meet the two dancers Neues Barcons Roca and Britta Lieberknecht. Neues Barcons Roca is known in Cologne as an outstanding soloist and ensemble member with Britta Lieberknecht and Mouvoir. Britta Lieberknecht, experimental in her long history with the avant-garde of dance performance, again dedicates herself to the synergy of sound and movement with this team. An encounter of exuberant confrontation to softly foaming, delicate intimacy. Garlef Keßler bathes the interactions in colorfully iridescent spaces — also improvised.

Press Quotation

Kölner Stadtanzeiger Rhein-Berg (Christoph Konkulewski)
„…for here two expressive dancers improvised, meeting two musicians who had just as much to say. Music and dance met on equal terms…All four are superbly trained and recognized luminaries in their fields. They engage with contemporary art and manage to draw spectators and listeners, almost breathless, into the action.”

Guest teacher with

Dance your Anatomy

at the University for Sports Cologne M.A. Dance

Since completing her training as a Feldenkrais teacher, Britta Lieberknecht has been developing DyA for amateurs, dance students and professionals. She integrates her knowlegde about movement from her experiences as physiotherapist, Feldenkrais Teacher, BMC studies and her life long exploration of dance.

We explore the anatomy of our musculoskeletal system and its function and take it into dancing.
The aim is to differentiate movement and to complete the body image and self-image. The result is freer and better guided movement and acess to our own rich potential.
We resolve unclear areas in our body and body image. As we embody them and integrate their function, they support our dancing in a new and better connected way. They also have an emotional and energetic side which may express itself.

With the help of 3D projections and explanations we trace the living anatomical structure within our own body.
First we touch and feel the structure hands on and get to know it through small functional movements. We experience precisely how its function takes part in our loccomotion and how it connects to our entire movement system. We integrate it into our senses and equilibrium system. Playfully improvising we get to use it as a source for dancing and creativity.

The are several sequential teaching units for each part of the body. They can be practised and taught as well singular.
