Fase, Four Movements to the
Music of Steve Reich was the second performance of Anne Teresa De
Keersmaeker in the year 1982. The performance marked the breakthrough of
postmodern dance in Belgium and initiated the founding of Rosas in 1983. Fase
consists of three duets and one solo,
choreographed to four repetitive compositions by the American minimalist Steve
Reich. In keeping with the structure of
the music, De Keersmaeker developed
an autonomous language of movement,
adding its own new dimension. Both the
music and dance start from the principle of shifting phases; through minute
variations, initially perfectly synchronised movements gradually begin to slip and shift, creating a complex play of changing forms and patterns. For the first time in the long history of this piece,
Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker passes on
this performance, which she has always
danced herself, to two new dancers.
