7 PORTRAITS OF SOLITUDE - a specially curated online collection of short dance film works.
Together, 7 dancers - 7 composers - unite to create 7 worlds and offer you a message of hope,
remembering that we are all connected, even when we feel so alone. In these uncertain times
we find ourselves in our art, in our humanity, with our emotional life becoming more defined
and more realised - as the new truths that we learn become our future history. All of the
incredible people involved in this project have generously given their time and talent for free,
and we all hope that you will enjoy these portraits as much as we did making them.
Watch @semperoperballett dancer Jon Vallejo perform Portrait #2 to music composed by
Peter Gregson, cinematography and editing by Thomas Bieszka, and costumes by YUMIKO
Dancewear - all specially donated to the 7 PORTRAITS OF SOLITUDE project.
Importantly these films aim to create awareness to help support our fellow artists during these
challenging times. Our stage industries risk losing a generation of talent if they are not offered
the support they need. Please check out the links below and make your donation, give as
much as you can, and share this message with your friends and family - let’s help to make the
difference.

FAUN(E) coming soon at Dresden @semperoperballett! 🦌
J'accours; quand, à mes pieds, s'entrejoignent (meurtries
De la langueur goûtée à ce mal d'être deux)
Des dormeuses parmi leurs seuls bras hasardeux;
Je les ravis, sans les désenlacer, et vole
À ce massif, haï par l'ombrage frivole,
De roses tarissant tout parfum au soleil,
Où notre ébat au jour consumé soit pareil.
L'Après-midi d'un faune - Stéphane Mallarmé

We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity; more than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.

Happy International Dance Day!!
Unfortunately, we are saddened to announce that all remaining performances of the Sächsische Staatstheater Dresden are cancelled for the 2019/20 Season.
Please use our online form on our website to return tickets. Refunds will be made gradually. We therefore kindly ask for your patience.
As soon as we can, we will get back to you with our plans for the 2020/21 season adapted to the new situation.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
Keep track of Instagram updates discreetly while protecting your privacy and staying anonymous.
View profiles and photos anonymously with ease using the Private Profile Viewer.
This free tool allows you to view Instagram Stories anonymously, ensuring your activity remains hidden from the story uploader.
