»When we earnestly dive into being ›too much‹ does the surface crack to expose something more vulnerable?«
MAKING IMPRESSIONS AND OTHER FAILURES is a dance-performance duet that deals with ecstatic and peculiar gestures as a bizarre way of relating to another person or making an impression while revealing deeper layers of oneself.
With humour, awkwardness and slight extremes, the performers attempt an inability to inhibit their impulses while being driven by a structure that restricts and controls them.
The work exposes the performers to real mistakes and moments of failure while celebrating joy and playfulness. It humorously highlights the attempt to make an impression on others and the merciless failure to do so.
To provide an appropriate setting for the work, come dressed in evening attire!
The performance will be accompanied by two free workshops by professional dancers for people aged 15-25. Interested parties can register soon via our website!

»Laura Hicks and Ilana Reynolds have succeeded in creating an incredibly refreshing, funny and biting examination of a basic human need - to please others and be seen in a good light.«
– Hagen Haas, General Anzeiger, Oktober 25, 2021
»Laura Hicks and Ilana Reynolds explore absurd gestures and movements. Their attempts to communicate with the audience in particular develop a comedy that is not often seen in contemporary dance. Rarely has communicative failure been so amusing and intelligent at the same time.«
– Selection committee Freie Szene HTT21
