Sasha Waltz

For 30 years, the dance company and artistic collective Sasha Waltz & Guests has celebrated international success with its contemporary choreographies, social sculptures, Dialoge projects, operas and films. On the occasion of its anniversary, choreographer Sasha Waltz looks back together with people who have accompanied her along the way. As she herself aptly describes it, ""an ensemble is a living archive."" But how does an ensemble collectively remember?

Beyond the mere chronology of events, the book brings an aspect of remembrance to the fore that ensures the repeatability of dance: notations. Sasha Waltz's ""scores"" consist of an eclectic collection of evocative terms, each of which designates individual choreographic figures. Like an encyclopaedic cabinet of curiosities, this publication takes up 50 of these ""codes"" and detaches them from their actual context. Through links to art history and complemented by texts and poems a creative rearrangement of Sasha Waltz's oeuvre emerges that makes the choreographic figures themselves dance once again.
