TIME STEPS was originally created for public spaces like train and subway stations or busy street crossings. The video presents ten two-minute films that pick out dance in personal everyday situations as their central topic. Media reality and everyday reality mix. On television run private archival pictures from the 1930s and 1940s, inspiring people to dance in front of the monitor in response - a mixture of provocation and reverie. The old archive footage creates a timeless cornice.
Already presented in 25 railway stations in Germany and several other countries this work comes to Boston for the first time as part of the 2007 Boston Cyberarts Festival. TIME STEPS shows many of Beenhakker's collegue dancers from Tanztheatre Wuppertal by Pina Bausch where Hans used to dance in the 90's.
