In der Fotoausstellung des ehemaligen Tänzers und Tanz-
fotografen Gert Weigelt, der 2019 als erster Fotograf den
Deutschen Tanzpreis erhielt, geht es um den Solotanz. Bis
auf zwei Ausnahmen sind auf den Bildern Choreograf/innen
zu sehen, die ihre Soli selbst vortragen: Susanne Linke,
Gerhard Bohner, Reinhild Hoffmann, Lina do Carlo und Urs
Dietrich. Ausnahmen sind das berühmte Martha Graham
Solo (1930), interpretiert von der Tänzerin Camille Andriot,
und Hans van Manens „Solo“, dargestellt von drei Tänzern,

                                                                Martha Graham / photo: Gert Weigelt
die das Solo unter sich aufteilen.
„Auch wenn durch die Coronakrise immer mehr Choreograf/
innen (nolens volens) gedrängt werden, für Mini-Besetzun-
gen zu choreografieren, bleibt das getanzte Solo eine
Königsdisziplin im Tanz. Selbst für die Besten eine große
Herausforderung“, so Gert Weigelt.

The photo exhibition of former dancer and dance-photo-
grapher Gert Weigelt, who in 2019 was the first photogra-
pher to receive the German dance award, revolves around
solo dance. Baring two exceptions we see choreographers
who present their own solos, such as Susanne Linke,
Gerhard Bohner, Reinhild Hoffmann, Lina do Carlo und Urs
Dietrich. An exception is the famous Martha Graham solo
(1930), interpreted by the dancer Camille Andriot; another
is Hans van Manens „Solo”, performed by three dancers
dividing the solo between them.
„Even if more and more choreographers are being urged

                                                                Susanne Linke / photo: Gert Weigelt
(willy-nilly) to choreograph for mini-casts due to the
corona crisis, the danced solo remains a supreme
discipline in dance. A great challenge even for the best“,
says Gert Weigelt.
