CABOOM - contemporary tap dance

CABOOM combines the musical power of tap with the visual impact of contemporary dance: a pulsating, passionate, rough-and-tumble piece about chaos in life and society.

It's chaos, when situations become unpredictable. When plans fail, when everything happens at once or things turn out all different than expected. Chaos makes individuals and whole societies stumble.

CABOOM celebrates the potential and creative energy of chaos in a multilayered composition for five dancers.

After his cross-genre productions „Synchronzeugen“ and „The Legend of Syd O’Noo“, Sebastian Weber returns to "pure" dance with CABOOM and developes a movement language with his company, that dissolves the traditional look of tap dance and creates something new which the term "tap dance" describes insufficiently.

The aim of the project is, to launch the SEBASTIAN WEBER DANCE COMPANY and to create a new style of contemporary tap dance by transferring methods and concepts from contemporary dance, music, dramaturgy, and movement analysis.

The project is for lovers of contemporary forms of dance and theater.

Because it is the beginning of a new dance company, of a new style of dance, and potentially of a great story. And because it helps some real nice, hard-working, passionate artists, too!

The money fills the gaps in our production account and is used to cover the costs of travel and lodging of the artists, and the rental costs of rehearsal studios and equipment.

If more than the minimal amount is collected, any extra money will be invested in improving the endowment of our short film production. We will then be able to pay a professional camera (wo)man and rent better light gear, which will greatly improve our chances of making that film good.
