Tour De Danse: In the footsteps of Laban

Following in the footsteps of Rudolf von Laban and his friends in Zurich. A puzzle run from the Dolder to the Odeon. Play along. Become part of the story.

"All existence is movement. All action is dance. In existence, the rhythm of natural force relationships prevails. [...] The sense of dance allows man a clear insight into the rhythmic nature of natural events and is the means of transforming the natural rhythm into artistic-cultural order." (Rudolf von Laban)

It is about the secret of the icosahedron, about the question of what the twelve corners of this geometric shape have to do with Laban's women. It is about friendship and connections - or as Laban called it: dance/life in togetherness and for each other. About projective geometry and expressive dance in its origins and where and how - in connection with Rudolf von Laban - this form of dance took place and still takes place in Zurich.

The walk lasts two hours and alternates between reality, choreography, mystery, hysteria and dance history. The walk poses puzzles. It is about answering questions, creating, choreographing and recording in order to become part of this special movement. The visitors must stick together and complete tasks together. Because, as Laban says, dance begins with being with and for one another.
