Frauke Requardt
Requardt’s work is characterised by physically challenging choreography, a strong theatricality, dark humour and an overall sense of surrealism.
She uses text and live music and a mixture of abstract and emotionally based movement to deliver highly engaging work. Frauke is a German-born London-based choreographer. Previously associate artist at The Place, Frauke is now associate artist at Greenwich Dance. Frauke has presented her work in the UK and internationally, enjoying residencies in Colombia, Portugal, Italy and Germany.
Her works to date include Jammy Dodgers, a fantastical world, with a rolling line up of bands from the London Contemporary Jazz scene; the Lynch-esque Roadkill Cafe; and Pequenas Delicias, an absurdist site-specific piece for cafes and restaurants. Her new show Electric Hotel, created in collaboration with experimental theatre director David Rosenberg, came to London in June 2010. Electric Hotel is a co-production between Fuel and Sadler’s Wells and marks the first work of ‘Requardt & Rosenberg’.
