Last years winner of an Olivier Award, Orlin continuously pushes the boundaries of performance and dance. Her new work is a startling reflection on one of the most serious threats to Africa's future, HIV/Aids. Despite its weighty focus the performance is laced with humour and charm as it dazzles with Orlin's trademark ingenuity of narrative, dance and song.

| Projet Musée / Babysitting series |

Created in Berlin in december 2002 under the name of « Baby sitting Caspar … »
|
|
 |
|
|
|
This Museum Project will continue in several different countries with several different guards of the respective museums over the next several years, with documentation of all the performances.
« Babysitting caspar... », focuses on the museum guards who take care of art works. I not only have a need to deconstruct the art work, but also the system to which this art is bound....and tradition is part of this system.
Does dance have to live in a cultural vacuum? Shouldn't this vacuum be burst?
« Babysitting caspar... » respect art. respect the curator. respect the producer. respect the tradition. six guards. one national museum. monitors. staircase. paintings. visitors. preconceptions. high culture. unfailable art. products. identities. histories. communities. fantasies. masters. servants. guards. views.
who looks after art ?

Robyn Orlin's Daddy explores politics in the arts in terms of performance empowerment and ownership of space. Six performers fight over the same space while they wait for their director to arrive for a performance. The performers wait in panic five minutes before the show, but the director has not arrived. Their waiting becomes the background against which a collage of dances are set.This piece, ordered by the FNB Vita Dance Umbrella, was awarded the third price at the Rencontres Chorégraphiques Africaines et de l'Océan Indien (Afrique en Créations).
Robyn Orlin was awarded the author-price by the Conseil Général de la Seine-Saint-Denis in France, such as by the Rencontres Chorégraphiques Internationales 2000.
Production : City Theater & Dance Group - Johannesburg, with the help of FNB Vita Dance Umbrella – Johannesburg, Keith Kirstens, Basa and French Institute of Johannesburg. |

| Keep the home fires burning |
| |
| In the installation “Keep the home fires burning” selected for the FNB Vita Award Art Prize 1997, one of the most prestigious rewards in contemporary art in South Africa, Robyn Orlin evokes with force the complex and slow changes of community post apartheid. Using simple evocative images it questions us on the racism which perdure and replaces once again the witness in a situation of essential reflection. |

Creation February 2008 in Dance Umbrella Festival of Johannesburg
Piece for 5 swenkas from South Africa and 4 dancers/actors
|
|
 |
|
|
|
The Swenkas is a group of blue-collar Zulu men in Johannesburg who spend their salaries on flashy suits and accessories. Every Saturday night they get together in a city basement to compete for the title of the best-dressed Swenka.
Each contestant stands before an audience and a judge and in slow-motion reveals different aspects of his attire in an expressive movement that feels like a dance.The competition is more than a fashion show, it is a contest that began when a group of friends decided to exhibit their pride and parade their taste in front of an audience. The contest has survived many generations.
By day the men are construction workers, miners and security guards but come Saturday nights they want to show how they feel inside. They want to express the fundamentals that go with being a Swenka, which are respect, cleanliness and chaste conduct.
The term "Swenkas" originates from the English word "swank" and the men named the contests "Oswenka". "From there you get a 'Swenka'.
Aside from the idea of showing their integrity and parading their pride, the men compete for prizes ranging from cows and goats to blankets and watches and sometimes for large sums of money.
The Swenkas' 'uniforms' are glitzy, glamorous, tailored, tucked, shiny or silky and their accessories are equally important. Patterned socks and matching ties and designer cufflinks all add to the allure of the suit.

“Pantsula... A name that goes back to the 70's when a pantsula was supposed to be the one who dressed elegantly yet not too formally but still made a fashion statement, also a popular dance form called “pantsula jive”... It became a very popular dance form during the 80's among young men in the townships... It includes not only a dance as a way of expressing oneself, but it is a way of life and impacts on where one lives... It has been described as .... A flat footed African tap - and - glide style of dance... The Zulu word pantsula can be translated to mean - to waddle like a duck or alternatively to walk with protruded buttocks - a characteristic of this dance form...
But for me, pantsula is a spontaneous expression of life which reflects the latent violence of the South-African culture... Mainly male orientated, unlike kwaito which is a very popular dance form for both men and women... With the group Via katlehong, we will look at how this dance form became a political expression in the 80's and still today manages to comment on the pervading cultural and political climate in South Africa.”
Robyn Orlin.

With the help of a Fulbright scholarship, she then completed her Masters in Fine Art at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago from 1990 till 1993. She has been working consistently on her own work in South Africa from then onwards.
Nicknamed in South Africa " a permanent irritation ", she is well known for reflecting the difficult and complex realities in her country. Integrating different media (text, video, plastic arts…) she investigates a certain theatrical reality which has enabled her to find her unique choreographic vocabulary. One often owes her uniqueness to her entertaining titles: If you can’t change the world, change your curtains (1990), The Polka dot lives on ! (1995) for the Soweto Dance Theatre ; Naked on a goat (1996), Orpheus… I mean Euridice… I mean the natural history of a chorus girl (1998) which obtained the FNB Vita Dance Umbrella award for choreography; Daddy, I’ve seen this piece six times before and I still don’t know why they’re hurting each other (1999) ; F…(Untitled) (2000), We must eat our suckers with the wrapper on and The future may be bright, but its not necessarily orange (2001), Ski-Fi-Jenni …… and the frock of the new, a piece loosely based on the myth of Iphigeni, the Montpellier Dance Festival in July, 2002, Although I live inside … (solo piece for Sophiatou Kossoko, 2004, When I take off My Skin …, 2005, Hey dude… I have a talent...
