Bach-Suite 3 from the studio

Since the beginning of January, the dancers of the Junior Company have been working intensively on John Neumeier's "Bach Suite 3". The ballet, which was created in 1981 for the opening of the Hamburg Operettenhaus, represents a time in which Neumeier worked intensively with the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Since its premiere in Hamburg, the work has also been danced by the Deutsche Oper Ballet, the Zurich Ballet, the Royal Swedish Ballet and the Vienna State Ballet. By including the piece in the BJBM's repertoire in the 2023/24 season, Ivan Liška is honouring the choreographer John Neumeier, who is now celebrating his last season after 51 years at the helm of the Hamburg Ballet.

Creating a home away from home…

For many of the residents in our boarding house, the possibility of travelling home to be with loved ones over the festive season is not an option. If the Christmas period is not filled with rehearsals and performances, often the flights are too expensive to fit into a student’s modest budget. Creating a home away from home is quite literally the best option they have.

Explosive movement fragments from the studio

Created for the State Ballet School of Berlin in 2015, «All Long Dem Day» finds a perfect partner in crime with Nina Simone’s 1956 rendition of «Sinnerman». Originally a traditional African American spiritual song inspired by the book of Exodus, the lyrics describe a sinner attempting to hide from divine justice on Judgement Day. Simone often chose the song to close her early appearances in New York City’s Greenwich Village: “I want to shake people up so bad that when they leave a nightclub where I’ve performed, I want them to be in pieces.” Pairing Simone’s cries for forgiveness from transgression with Goecke’s explosive movement fragments, the relentlessness of «All Long Dem Day» reminds us that change is not only important but necessary to repair the social, moral and political ties that wither with the passage of time.
