Bach - Allemande | © Tatjana Rudenko
When Bach was the band conductor in Köthen, Germany, he wrote 6 works for solo violin called:
Sei Solo à violino senza Basso accompagnato.
They were composed between 1714 and 1720, making them over 300 years old.
During this time, Bach held the only position in which he not only served to sacred music, but also to the life in the court and the musical life of the home. Bach’s music is crystal clear, structured, has swinging rhythms, and expresses all dimensions of human feeling.
The partita is composed of dance forms; which in this performance, there is a play of eurythmy, singing and dancing. The costumes are a nod to court life in Köthen.

Tatjana Rudenko
geb. 1993 in Tallinn, Estland, ist leidenschaftliche Bewegerin und studierte Eurythmistin. In 2018 hat sie ihren Abschluss an der Alanus Hochschule für Kunst und Gesellschaft (Alfter) erlangt und sich entschieden den Schwerpunkt ihrer Tätigkeit der Bühneneurythmie und Performance zu widmen. Das Geschichten Erzählen als Bühnengeschehen ist ihr ein zentrales und in unserem Zeitalter notwendiges Anliegen. Sie ist überzeugt, dass der Körper viel zu erzählen hat und möchte mit ihre künstlerischen Tätigkeiten den Körper durch Bewegungen sprechen lassen. Die Stimme spielt eine immer wichtigere Rolle in Ihre Arbeit. Authentischer Ausdruck und einen liebevollen Umgang mit dem Körper sind die Kriterien ihrer künstlerischen Suche und Darbietungen.
Marthy Hecker
in 2017 he received his BA of Education through the Hogeschool Leiden with his major being Docent Dans/Euritmie (dance/eurythmy teacher). For his minor he attended Eurythmeum Stuttgart. Following his 4 year studies in the Netherlands, he continued at Alanus University for one year and received a BA of Arts. Immediately afterwards he was part of the Fairytale Ensemble for one year in Stuttgart, Germany from 2018-2019. In 2019 he co-founded NorthWest ETC and began eurythmy projects at different schools for different ages. Since 2020 he has been a participant of the organizing team for the Eventeurythie.TanzFestival. Alongside his pedogogical and performing projects he has been part of the Euritmie Ensemble Nederland as a performer since the beginning of this year. The study of different styles of eurythmy, other movement arts and connecting with various artists, is a way for him to find his own style and to acquire distinctive movement approaches. For him, performance is a way of bringing questions, to work deeply with a much needed topic and to get involved in society. The constant search and the open-mindedness for inspiration is the core ideal of his work.
