Bach-Dialoge


“Bach-Dialoge”

“Bach-Dialoge” Angelo Murdocco, Simona Tartaglione, Paulo Fosse

Lansdale’s abstract Choreography is... - light footed, and elegant in Nr. 3 and 4, Nr. 6 is a Men’s-Number, which Bach wrote for bass strings. But it is the Ladies that bring the greatest pleasure in this dialogue...
Rheinischer Merkur




It is a baroque master piece for eyes and ears. In a mixture of neo-classical and modern dance elements, Lansdale has created a dance piece of flowing elegant and aesthetics. With his geometrical construction and conception, Lansdale has choreographed a pure abstract work. Lansdale’s pliant, graceful, weightless choreographic movement, shows the expressive dancers at their best.
The persistent applause and shouts of bravo at the Premiere fills one with hope for the new season.

Dr. Ulrich Gehre, Die Glocke


Lansdale never interprets the rhythm, tempi, or harmony directly. His understanding of music is much more subtle. He develops slowly his musical interpretation, quasi citing virtuoso pirouettes first later, fast passages are counter balanced with slow movements. It is the Ladies that bring the greatest pleasure... very charming, in Lansdale’s refined, simple, brocade costumes.

A delicate, elegant and genuine dance performance, with classical attitudes, and light footed modern choreography.
