Der Palast 2 (Rave)
As we return to Berlin after the fall of the Wall, the series’ new main character, Luise, gets ready to become a choreographer in a showstopping open air dance scene.
Task
Creating and directing dance scenes for the German hit-series.
- Creative consulting and show creation for Constantin Television’s Creative Departments, series director Uli Edel and cinematographer Hannes Hubach.
- Consulting on historical revue practice, and implications of staging this in a contemporary context.
- Advising on cultural references, aesthetics, and helping source costumes and props.
- PSM/DSM duties during the shooting.
Let’s dive into the journey of a single movement—devised in the streets, shaped by Berlin’s techno scene, and transformed into a stage spectacle.
This how the wonderful Tini Back (series choreographer) and I supported the team around Uli Edel telling the story of Lary: from dancer to choreographer.
