Three Atmospheric Studies

“In ‘Three Atmospheric Studies’, The Forsythe Company creates a world that appears in cross sections and glimpses. The dancers build a series of scenes, of conversations, which sketch into space the interior tensions of the energetic architecture of war. The voices, transformed and amplified, roll through the bodies, tearing the room into a wreckage of sound. The dancers navigate backward toward a whole, flooding the room with the body’s human time.”
Dana Caspersen

After the closure of the Ballett Frankfurt at the end of the 2003/2004 season, Forsythe established his own private company. The Forsythe Company started in January 2005 and will continue to create work as a logical extension of the Ballett Frankfurt. However, by operating on a much smaller institutional scale, The Forsythe Company will be able to extend its artistic impact by pursuing a wide range of new and unconventional projects that were not possible to elaborate fully within the city-funded institution of the Ballett Frankfurt.
