Hartfel’s choreography takes the
classical ballet form and turns it into a language
that emphasizes freedom of movement and artistic
expression. The dance becomes a natural and organic
art: rustic, yet refined.
Hartfel’s choreography is not removed from the
audience or presented as an elitist series of tricks
that only those on the stage can perform. Instead,
it brings the dance closer to the observer, offering
an intimate connection that allows the audience
to live vicariously through the performance. Rather
than make a political point or depict a storybook
tale, this process imparts a sense of liberation
for each audience member.
