about the right moment by Juliette Villemin, Stuttgart
Aren’t we all forever running out of time and don’t we wish now and then for time to stand still? SYNCHRONICITY, a dance, sound and media performance by choreographer Juliette Villemin, deals with the subjective perception of time and our inner time. We warmly invite you to look together with us for the right and nonrecurring instant, an inner, intense and fulfilled moment that gives us the capability to forget time and its course.

What is this project all about?
Synchronicity is a piece about TIME by Stuttgart based choreographer Juliette Villemin:
Time is relative. Let’s seek together the mysterious, individual time, that resists global time-measuring. Which quality has our perception of time? How do we define our own time? Synchronicity takes up the topic of temporality in dance, music and interpersonal relationships. In this dynamic, complex dance, sound and media performance we experience the rare moment of concurrence between inner and external time: the right, unique, nonrecurring moment.
We thank our venue - FITZ! Zentrum für Figurentheater Stuttgart - for their cooperation and look forward to our premiere on 1st June 2017 and the other shows on 2. and 3. June, each at 20.30 pm.
What is the project goal and who is the project for?
Our GOAL is:
- to make you enthusiastic about our project and to stir up your curiousity about Synchronicity
- to invite you to one of our shows (1.-3. June 2017) at FITZ! Zentrum für Figurentheater Stuttgart
- to raise enough funds to be able to produce a dance music piece of high-quality
The piece is:
- for YOU
- for all dance lovers, especially with an interest in contemporary dance
- for all, who like new but also classical music. Synchronicity is not only inspired by the music of Franz Schubert and Steve Reich but also of their ideas about time and temporality
- for all, who reflect on TEMPORALITY
- for all, who enjoy experiencing performative art
- for our audience
Why would you support this project?
There are many reasons to support our project. Important is, that with YOUR SUPPORT we will be able to present a dance music performance of high artistic value, for that all participants not only get a compensation for their professional work, but also an appropriate fee!
- because you want to experience Synchronicity
- because you want to synchronise with us and witness the right instant
- because you want to support freelance and independent artists
- because the diversity of Stuttgart's culture and art scene matters to you
How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?
A large part of our project budget is supported and financed by LaFT (Baden-Württemberg association for free dance and theatre makers) and the project is also supported by foundation LBBW. Yet, the sum is insufficient. We need YOUR SUPPORT to cover all production costs! Your money fills existing gaps for GEMA-costs, sound and stage design/equipment, publicity work and ABOVE ALL it helps to be able to pay an APPROPRIATE fee for our independent artists. We need YOU so that Synchronicity will be unforgettable to everybody involved, audience and artists.
Who are the people behind the project?
Our team:
Dance: Marina Grün
is our female dancer. She reflects with her BODY on IDEAS about TIME, especially in front of many spectators. As specialist for sensual and physical experience of the world, she dances not only in Stuttgart but also internationally in Graz, Linz, Wien and Berlin.
Dance: Hygin Delimat
is our male dancer. His passion is MOVEMENT and not only in a sensual-physical sense. He travels worldwide as choreographer, dancer and trainer with a predilection for breakdance and always seeks for new, interdisciplinary approaches.
Violin: Ulrike Storz
plays the music here and that with her beloved violin. She is searching with us for differing TIME QUALITIES not only through but also within music, between timeless and precisely timed, between movement and sound, between composed and improvised.
Music design/Percussion: Benedikt Immerz
Benni keeps the beat for us and is IN TUNE with our dancers and the other artists. He is a passionate singer, conducts choirs, and in addition studies film music. He lives for interdisciplinarity, on stage and behind stage.
Light design: Alexander Joseph
already made quite a number of stages shine and we are happy that he will also illuminate our stage with his magic LIGHT design. Besides, he supports us as our technical director and over a cup of tea he has always an ear for worries and sorrows.
Media: Nadja Weber
is our media-lady! She loves to tinker and even creates a brilliant media installation only in two days. For our project she not only arranges the stage MEDIA design but also photographs and is filming us at work. Besides she designs our flyer and the poster, an all-round talent!
Production: Katharina de Andrade Ruiz
As Art historian she enjoys to cross disciplinary borders and writes and researches on dance. For Synchronicity she is responsible for the the PRODUCTION management, yet, she doesn’t do it alone but together with her son Luka, our production baby. When she doesn’t take care of stuff such as numbers, press and contracts, then she is for sure changing diapers!
Idea, choreography and stage direction: Juliette Villemin
is the heart and the head of our project! Her thoughts about TEMPORALITY were bubbling and her urge to work on the dimension of TIME from an artistic-choreographical perspective have existed for a long time. After an intensive research on this subject matter, it is now the right MOMENT, to share her ideas and the resulting piece with you, our spectators!
