Drumming & Rain
A conversation in which Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker offers the performance theorist and musicologist Bojana Cvejić wide-ranging insights into choreography, and into the making of 'Drumming' and 'Rain', two landmark works created to the music of minimalist composer Steve Reich.
Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker
Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker (b. 1960) founded her dance company, Rosas, in 1983. Her work is grounded on a rigorous exploration of the relationship between dance and music, and over the years she has engaged the musical structures and scores of different periods and genres, from early music to contemporary expressions of classical and popular music. Her choreographic practice draws from geometric principles, nature, and social structures to offer unique perspectives on the articulation of the body in space and time. The minimalism of De Keersmaeker's earliest pieces gave way over the years to ingenious constructions for large ensembles. Then in 2007, the choreography underwent a fundamental c...
Drumming
In 1998, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker returned to two of her greatest childhood loves: pure dance and music by minimalist composer Steve Reich. Rich in twenty years of an abundant choreographic journey, she takes hold of Reich's 'Drumming', a long hypnotic work written for a large percussion ensemble, and gives rise to a feverish and radical show in which the essence seems to have distilled of his style: mathematical patterns, the art of perpetual variation, geometric use of space. 'Drumming' fuses structural refinement, technical virtuosity, the pleasure of dance in its raw state. The energy of kinetic language, costumes by Dries Van Noten and scenography by Jan Versweyveld contribute to extraordinary visual compositions. 'Drumming' has since been taken on stages around the world. The tours were followed by photographers Herman Sorgeloos and Anne Van Aerschot, who today open their extensive photographic archive and offer us a kaleidoscopic glimpse of this iconic spectacle.
