Splash Dance

How To Get Wet, Staatstheater Kassel Style

1. Take the #32 bus to the warehouse studios on the outskirts of town
2. Dance a duet by Johannes Wieland: push, roll, spin, throw your partner, knee slide, handstand, catch your partner, fall quickly, crawl like an animal
3. Set the duet to Stravinsky's Rite of Spring
3. Fill 30 bottles, 3 bowls, and a jug of water
4. Pour water on dancers
5. Pour water on dance floor
6. Repeat steps 2 and 3
