Friederike Plafki : Kühlkuhgenese
Friederike Plafki has been dancing since 2005 with Sasha Waltz & Guests, which is considered to be the best dance company in Berlin. She is also working on her own solo study, Kühlkuhgenese. This is Plafki’s version of the evolution leading from insects to a refrigerator. The Bancs d’essai internationaux, a dance network spanning six cities, selected the piece for an international tour in 2005. Based on this solo, Plafki developed the duet “Objet trouvé“, the variation „peer-to-peer“ for seven dancers that premiered at the Tanztage 2007 at the Sophiensaele in Berlin, as well as the trio „Dialoge in silence.“ Plafki was trained in Leipzig and at the Palucca School in Dresden. In 2000, she received the first prize for the best dance solo at the Festival of Contemporary European Theatre, the euro-szene Leipzig. In 2006, she received an award as the most remarkable new choreographic talent (Jahrbuch 06, ballettanz). Plafki also received a stipend for the Tanzplan Dresden 2007 and began her study of choreography at the Ernst Busch School of Dramatic Arts in Berlin.
„Kühlkuhgenese“ was presented on January 14. and 15. 2006 at Tangente in Montreal.
