Series/webtoons if you like Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss

Lovely hell

I'll start right away with the probably least known AND best of all - at least in terms of being similar to the universe of HH and HB-.

"Tanz, a powerful creature of pure evil, is vanished to Earth agaist her will. Weak and without a plan, she'll have to rely to Cain, a human, to guide her throught the world and figure a way back to her home: Hell."

First of all, it's a webtoon, so you can read it for free on Webtoon! Created by Tita (stage name Lorsupp), the story takes place in the present day. our protagonists are biblical characters (I won't give spoilers about who Tanz is. Cain, you guys must have already understood...).

This webtoon deserves much more recognition! the story is organic and well-paced, funny and tense when necessary. The characters are super charismatic and have chemistry, the Lore of Hell is super interesting and with a different approach from HH/HB. I love the character design - you can see the evolution of the author's traits as the chapters go by.

It's great to see other ways of approaching well-known characters -like the Jewish/Christian angels and demons-. A emphasis for Gabriel, ahhh this character hahah Anyway, this webtoon is the one I most recommend!

You can read it -> Webtoon account

When Instagram starts working again, I'll share the creator's account here!

Vilanius

This series - with just a few episodes left - is a Mexican animation released for Cartoon Network. Compared to HH's type of humor, here it is much more toned down, as it is aimed at a younger audience.

"Villainous is the story of Black Hat Org., run by Black Hat (whose name is synonymous with villain, a reference to the evil black-hatted cowboys of Western films) and his team of three less evil sidekicks. Black Hat is trying to sell various evil inventions created by Dr. Flug and is desperate to fulfill his evil aspirations. However, things often end badly for him, as brilliant innovations tend to have small and often comical flaws."

The lore has nothing related to the Hell, but it still focuses on the evil side of the story. I love the character designs, very similar to HH. It's worth checking out, even more Latin animation!

The Good Place

A series already consolidated and finished. One of my favorites on Netflix!

Even though it's not exactly Heaven and Hell, the concept is very similar. but what stands out here is the philosophical debate about what is right and wrong, how to be a good person in a world marked by individualism, competition and exploitation so that a person can have the basics to survive? -neoliberalism cough cough-.

"Eleanor Shellstrop wakes up to discover that she has died and entered the afterlife. But when she is told by her mentor Michael that she is in the "Good Place" because of her good deeds, helping to get innocent people off death row, she realizes that a mistake has been made because the people They think she is someone else with the same name."

Question about existentialism, ethics and the meaning of life debated in a fun way! A quick comparison to Bojack Horseman, a series that I love. in The Good Place, the existentialism, life and death are treated in a much more optimistic and... beautiful way, while in Bojack it is pessimistic and heavy. the debates on human existence can have lighter conclusions - this is not a criticism of Bojack, just a different approach.

Guardians of the Mansion of Horror

This recommendation won't have a personal review because... I still need to watch it! but I saw so many people recommending it, saying that it has good LGBT+ representation that I thought it would be interesting to bring it here. If anyone has already watched it and wants to say something about it...

"Guardians of the Mansion of Horror follows friends Barney and Norma as they work at a theme park during the summer. The two take the night shift and are responsible for organizing the place while it is empty. What they didn't expect is that this fun place is actually an interdimensional portal to hell. Suddenly, several supernatural creatures appear to haunt the Earth and the two friends must join forces to stop them. To do this, they receive help from the talking dog, Pugsley."

Inside Job

Here we have the biggest injustice in the history of Netflix, the cancellation of this series! I brought it here because of their type of acidic and critical humor towards society - not that this criticism is present in HH-. An adult animation, with swear words and the same irreverent touch as HH, following the shadow side of society.

"A dysfunctional team working in a hidden government department is tasked with keeping conspiracies around the secret world. From complicated attacks to secret societies, anti-social technology genius Reagan Ridley will need to work in a place full of shapeshifting reptilians and psychic mushrooms, at the same time as she must deal with an unbalanced father, in order to achieve the dream she dreams of. promotion."

Emphasis to the animation itself and the character design. When it comes to other species, we have unique designs, they even resemble the design of demons in HH.

irreverent, intelligent and humorous. 🤌

Good Omens

It's almost a rule, if you watched Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss, you also watched Good Omens!

For those who have never given the series a chance, here are some reasons to watch it now: Inspired by Neil Gaiman's work - and approved by him! -!. It is focused entirely on this universe of Jewish/Christian characters - and it is possible to see how well they are studied! There are references that only those who have studied demology or the sacred writings of these religions will understand-

The first season has a wonderful rhythm with captivating characters - the second lacks this a little. The angel and devil couple are super charismatic and you root for them.

Watching some of the biblical events from the point of view of the questioning and sinister demon Crowley and the good lamb Aziraphale is wonderful!

[school-of-all-time]

Qualifying Rounds

After 851 submissions and 346 total schools, submissions are now officially closed. The bracket rounds will consist of 256 schools. All schools that got two or more submissions are guaranteed a place in the bracket rounds. Schools that got only one submission will have to go through qualifying rounds to get to the brackets. There are 214 schools with only one nomination, and 125 available spots in the bracket. Following the qualifiers, schools will be seeded according to the number of submissions they received.

Qualifiers will consist of 43 polls, with each poll containing five possible schools. The polls were created using a randomizer. The two schools with the most votes will immediately advance to the bracket round. The school with the third most votes has a good chance of advancing as well, but not guaranteed. There are 38 spots available for the 43 third place winners. Thus, I'll be eliminating the 4 third place winners with the least number of votes (numbers as opposed to percentages).

(I know this all seems very convoluted, but I am an English major trying to do math, this is about as well as it was ever going to go.)

I'll be posting six polls a day (except for the last day where I'll be spicing it up by posting seven!) Below the cut you can see which polls will be posted each day. If the school you submitted doesn't appear in the qualifiers, then congratulations, that means it got two or more votes and has immediately advanced to the bracket stage.

Paul Landers invents supermarket dance

If nothing else, it shows German media are following the Rammstein guys' accounts, Rolling Stone has spotted Paul's Rewe-dance

googly translated

Rammstein: Paul Landers invents supermarket disco dance

from RS September 21, 2023

Dance to REWE? Rammstein guitarist Landers gives it his all.

Christian “Flake” Lorenz is usually considered the undisputed clown of the band Rammstein . The keyboard player regularly lets the others finish him off on an open stage. But Paul Landers remains undefeated as Kasper *) on Instagram. The band's guitarist has already produced some fun content on social networks, most recently about his little dog, who is going on a journey of discovery on a European tour.

Now Landers, dressed in Travolta disco white, shows himself dancing on a nighttime walk - and as an (unintentional?) advertising medium for a popular supermarket chain. Apparently a power failure, which caused the billboard to flicker constantly, inspired him to do a little exercise. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the supermarket deliberately launched a light attack in order to trigger buying impulses... no, that's thinking too far.

The fans on Instagram are thrilled: “Bro got some nice dance moves,” writes one. “When you get attacked by mosquitoes but try to play it cool..” says another. “The post-tour depression hit hard. Poor Paul,” believes the next person. It is not entirely unimportant to point out that Paul Landers probably only heard the music in his head - nothing more than the noise of his shoes can be heard in the nighttime scenery.

Rammstein are currently taking a break after their European tour ends in August. Meanwhile, rumors of a new concert tour in 2024 continue . It was recently reported that the Lithuanian police had initiated an investigation against Shelby Lynn - the woman who got the ball rolling - because of the abuse allegations against singer Till Lindemann. Lindemann is even said to have testified. Lynn denies the investigation against her.

There are still some question marks about the 60-year-old's continued career. After Universal Music has already announced that it is pausing its collaboration with Rammstein, Lindemann's upcoming solo album “Zunge” (November 3, 2023) will not be released on the label either. Lindemann's concert tour is also scheduled for November.

*) The 'Kasper' is a phrase used to describe (somewhat derogatory sometimes) a silly person, derived from the puppet character with that name who appears in old-skool puppet theaters (i think the english name for him is 'Punch' (from Punch and Judy))

No Sun Rises - Harmisod (full album, 2023)

Hello again Networkers. Today we are exciting to review here a very special act that we're truly happy to have featured in the channel: the German five-piece post-black unit NO SUN RISES. Harmisod, their last work released back in September, will make you shiver in place whether you are familiar with their sound or not (for which if you're not, we really recommend going back in their discography!). Harmisod opens with a ghostly echo surrounding the listener as intro for the first song, NebellebeN. Sharp guitars with fast riffs and gnarly voice catches you immediately in this palindrome titled song, where the mist and life seem to find each other in line. Acoustic parts hold the song together making for great slower, appeased bridges in-between parts where it return to the moving aggression in a haunting result. While in moments like this starting song the album showcases a sound that really draws from a characteristic one within black metal, it quickly departs from there combining it with the impressive acoustic strings and additional instrumentation in its tapestry such as cello and violin adding a folk touch, as shown in the next song, Unter Tage (Regress), where there's also notable the guest vocalist completing a sensational listening so far to this point, just half of the record, holding the mood out of metal for a while until the song burst in the flame of fiery emotions again. Tanz im fahlen Lichte would be the next song, which keep its 8 minutes with metal, at moments complex and shifting in quick and rich movements helping it create a palpable atmosphere with a shoegaze kick. The album turns complete with the fourth song, In trockener Erde (Bury Me), putting everything we've seen before together one step beyond, with its own intro, making for the perfect way to close the album with the sound of the fireplace in the night and the evocative artwork presented for it. Of course you're invited to stay there with us, so don't miss this on this excellent album!

Updates: Nov 2023 - Feb 2024

Hi! Just a li'l update. Nov 2023 - Rehearsed and performed with Meghna Bhardwaj for her Yarning project (phase 1) at K3. Full of gratitude for that. We performed 28th Nov at Probebühne Eins. Always such a pleasure to be at this cute cosy platform. <3

Dec 2023 - Helped Martin Eklund with This is Internet. (By the way, I previously also helped Martin with Lines Lacking Color as a pole dancer - didn't write about it before, so felt like mentioning it now.) And Hamburg Lollipop Club collaborated with Jupiter Kids, offering busking, on-demand classes, and workshops on the Lollipop. I had fun teaching both adults and children. :)

Jan 2024 - Started work as guest artist-educator, in Trinidad Martinez's project Der Ort - Tanz Wo Du Bist. Also started something like a pet project (it feels easy, fun, super-dorky), Tanzraumförderung is social and cool, where I use state-funded studio space to network and dance with colleagues in Hamburg, from Jan to Mar 2024. (Thank you Tanzraumförderung! And artists - write me if you're reading this and are curious / want to join, it's very easygoing and no-frills.)

Feb 2024 (now) - I discovered that maaaybe Hamburg Lollipop Club will die :(((( because I don't have access to space and everything gets so hard without space. HOWEVER, I have new plans to try and start teaching contact improv in Hamburg!! (Another one of my ploys to start living a regular life in Hamburg.) Meanwhile, Annika Ditzer and I got funding to do Cat in the Clouds, a children's show - my first ever children's show! - so I am very excited about that x 1 million. :)

To be continued. :)

Über Leben in Heidelberg

29.04.-01.05.2023

Diese Reise, war eine ausgesprochen aufregende Reise. Meine Debütinszenierung ÜBER LEBEN am Schauspiel Dortmund wurde beim Heidelberger Stückemarkt für den Nachspielpreis nominiert! Jetzt fragt ihr euch vielleicht, was ist denn der Heidelberger Stückemarkt und was zur Hölle ist ein Nachspielpreis?!

Also der Heidelberger Stückemarkt ist ein Theaterfestival, wo das Theater Heidelberg herausragende Produktionen von modernen Theatertexten einlädt. 

Viel wichtiger sind aber die verschiedenen Preise, die vergeben werden. Am bedeutendsten ist der Autor*innenwettbewerb, wo 10 Theatertexte, die noch nie gespielt wurden, nominiert werden.

Und es gibt halt auch den Nachspielpreis. Der Nachspielpreis des Heidelberger Stückemarkts zeichnet seit 2012 Inszenierungen aus, die einen Text zum zweiten oder dritten Mal auf die Bühne bringen. Ziel ist es, einen nachhaltigeren Umgang mit Gegenwartsdramatik zu fördern. Und da ist ÜBER LEBEN mit dabei!

Aus diesem Grund hat das Technikteam des Schauspiel Dortmunds das ganze Bühnenbild in einen LKW gepackt, Maske und Kostüm haben ihre Sachen dazugepackt und es ging auf Gastspiel nach Heidelberg. Wir kamen mit dem Zug hinterher!

Wir trafen uns also am Morgen des 29.04. am Dortmunder Hauptbahnhof mit unseren kleinen Köfferchen, alle etwas aufgeregt, vor allem aber ich! Nach knapp vier Stunden Zugfahrt kamen wir in Heidelberg an. Am Bahnhof wurden wir von einem Festivalmitarbeiter abgeholt und in unser Hotel gebracht. Jeder bekam auch eine kleine Mappe mit dem Programmheft des Festivals, einer Karte von Heidelberg und den besten Restaurants. Wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt!

Wie es sich für eine gute Klassenfahrt gehört, wollten wir natürlich Heidelberg etwas unsicher machen. Die Stadt ist echt ein bisschen wie Disneyland! Die Häuser sind krass schön und alt, es hat nur gefehlt, dass an jeder Ecke aus Boxen Dudelmusik kommt.

Nachdem wir fantastische Ramen im Min Ramen Bar hatten, gönnten wir uns im Karl unser erstes Bier! Das Karl ist eine urige Kneipe direkt am Neckar, wo man auch draußen sitzen kann. Die Weißweinschorle ist günstig und das Bier auch. Der Barkeeper hat schwäbisch geschwätzt, was mein Herz erwärmt hat.

Abends schauten wir uns dann das Gastspiel Baroque aus Bochum an. Etwas ironisch, dass wir nach Heidelberg fahren mussten, um was aus Bochum anzuschauen. Danach waren wir ein bisschen auf der Party des Heidelberger Stückemarks, aber natürlich ganz vernünftig, weil wir wussten, morgen ist ein großer Tag!

Was ich ja liebe an Hotels, sind die Frühstücksbuffets! Da hab ich am nächsten morgen ordentlich zugelangt! Dann ging es auch zur Spielstätte im Zwinger 1. Alles musste für den Abend vorbereitet werden! Das war recht stressig, aber das Technikteam vom Theater Heidelberg und die Produktionsleiterin Koenen waren sehr hilfbereit! Zum Glück kamen auch meine Eltern vorbei und haben mir nen Wrap vorbeigebracht!

Dann ging es auch schon los! Ausverkauftes Haus! Und sie haben alle echt einen tollen Job gemacht! Im Anschluss war noch ein Nachgespräch mit dem Publikum, mein aller erstes, und nach der Anfangsaufregung hatte ich sehr viel Spaß mit dem Publikum in Austausch zu kommen. Vielen Dank an Theresa Leopold, die das Q&A moderiert hat!

Dann ging die Sause erst richtig los! Das ganze ÜBER LEBEN Team traf sich erst bei einem Libanesen wo es schon die ersten Weißweinschorlen gab, um den Hunger zu stillen! Dann ging eserst in eine Bar wo ich leider den Namen vergessen habe, aber ein Gin Tonic 3,50€ und man konnte Billard spielen! Wenn ihr mal in Heidelberg seid, unbedingt Leute fragen, ob sie die Bar kennen! Dann ging es noch in eine Bar, auch den Namen habe ich vergessen, aber da waren plötzlich ganz viele Menschen vom Festival und es war ja auch noch Tanz in den Mai. Ich kann euch allen nur empfehlen Networking Gespräche angetrunken am Waschbecken auf der Toilette zu führen ;)

Weitere Details des Abends wären zu privat, aber es gab noch eine Pizza und um 6 Uhr morgens machte ich mein Licht aus. Nach erholsamen 3 Stunden Schlaf weckte mich Jasmins Wecker vom Nachbarzimmer. Schnell gefrühstückt und dann ging es auch wieder nach Dortmund. Die Reisegruppe erschien vollzählig. Alle waren überrascht davon, dass sie es selbst zum Bahnhof geschafft haben, ich auch von mir, aber wir waren beseelt von einem gelungenen Gastspiel 🙂

Vielen Dank an dieser Stelle an das ganze ÜBER LEBEN Team! Love you all!

Asphaltwelten part 3

// Go Plastic Company site-specific performance

+ performance + artistic research

The third and final part of the project "Asphaltwelten" of the go plastic company deals with the themes of "shelter & life on the street". This last part works on the artistic thesis of a utopia: a group that renounces stability and security: a life without walls, without insurance, without rootedness. Being at home in the body, not in buildings. Independent of origin, orientation and opinion. A throwing together of biographies on public but "neutral" ground. How do we feel and create our own "artistic shelter"? How far does it reach; does it encompass only me or others as well? How can I carry it, support it, take it with me and (co-)share it?

Artistic Research / Performance: Douglas Bateman, Caroline Beach, Joseph Hernandez, Cat Jimenez, Christian Novopavlovski, Steph Quinci, Esther Schachenmayr, Rika Yotsumoto

Künstlerische Forschung und künstlerische Direktion: Cindy Hammer, Susan Schubert Material / Set / Kostüm: Alexandra Börner Video / Künstlerische Dokumentation: Benjamin Schindler, Hans Bauer Technische Direktion: Benjamin Henrichs Produktion / Management: Michaela Jarosch Art Work / Web: Stephan Tautz, Dominik Glöß, Lea Schweinfurth Distribution: Dirk Förster Network / Consulting: Frauke Wetzel

PARTNER* & FÖRDERER*: Eine Produktion der go plastic company in Koproduktion mit TANZPAKT Dresden und in Kooperation mit HELLERAU – Europäisches Zentrum der Künste. Unterstützt durch das NATIONALE PERFORMANCE NETZ – STEPPING OUT, gefördert von der Beauftragten der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien im Rahmen der Initiative NEUSTART KULTUR. Hilfsprogramm Tanz. Gefördert von der Kulturstiftung des Freistaates Sachsen. Diese Maßnahme wird mitfinanziert durch Steuermittel auf der Grundlage des von den Abgeordneten des Sächsischen Landtags beschlossenen Haushalts. Gefördert vom Amt für Kultur und Denkmalschutz Dresden.

Und jetzt der Putsch! Er dient der Verhinderung! Jeder darf jetzt jeden grundlos verhaften und auch ihn voruebergehend in ein Gefaengnis stecken! Kurz darauf erfolgt die Gegen-reaktion. Statt den extremen Linken putschen jetzt wiederum die extremen Rechten gegen die grad erst eingesetzte neue Regierung der Linken! Und verhaften nicht weniger Leute! Es komnt zu Hinrichtungen! Zumindest das ist neu! Ansonsten ist der Terror der gleiche! Er stammt jetzt nur immer wieder noch genauso von auch rechts! Einen Ausweg erblickt man kurzeitig in der parteienuebergreifenden Regierung der nationalen Verstaendigung! Insgesamt wird jetzt weniger verhaftet! Lange bleibt aber auch sie nicht an der Macht. Dann wird auch sie sehr schnell aus dem Amt geputscht!

Bitte eigenes Brett zum Termin mitbringen!

After some significant changes in life, I am thankful for the opportunity to reflect and unfold the myriad possibilities for movement with Dorothea Eitel. I met this whirlwind of inspiration through a networking event close to Eschbach, where I now live and work. I look forward to initiating local opportunities for movement, dance, and encounters here in rural southwestern Germany. Come visit!

Shout out to Liam Clancy and the DIS-TANZEN Solo funding from Dachverband Tanz - you are awesome.

Announcing... a new podcast

Welp, I’ve been off this platform for some time. If I was coming back, it’d be to promote this notion for sure. Hello, #tanzblr; breadman missed you.

Coming soon to a podcast platform near you, in the vein of Out for Blood’s retrospective coverage of Carrie and after much development (probably closer to next year than this year): 

A Good Nightmare Comes So Rarely: The Rise and Fall of Dance of the Vampires.

The pitch:

When most American theater aficionados think of Dance of the Vampires, they don't think of a show that’s run successfully for 9,300+ performances, in 12 languages, in 14 countries, bringing in an audience of over 9.6 million. They think of its brief New York run starring Michael Crawford, which was such a critical and commercial disaster that it totally eclipsed the infamous Carrie in financial loss, set the new bar for legendary flops (at least until Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark came along), and is still widely cited as proof of the ‘wisdom’ that ‘vampire musicals don’t work on Broadway.’

20 years on, it’s time for a post-mortem. Two obsessive fans dive deep into the story behind its creation, interviewing cast, crew, creators, and detractors and fans alike who watched from the peanut gallery, as they recall all the gory details of the road to Manhattan, from the creation of the original Roman Polanski source film in the mid-Sixties to the present day.

When I say “two obsessive fans”... yeah, I’m co-hosting with ozymegdias. (As she has had significant input on my further development of the fabled ‘new English version more faithful to the European original,’ that may come up as well. We’re debating whether or not it’s necessary; I think it’s a novel hook.)

If you’d like to contribute, we’re looking for “detractors and fans alike”: enthusiasts of Tanz, of DOTV (slim crowd, but they exist), of both (even slimmer crowd, but they, too, exist), and rubber-neckers who watched the proverbial auto accident with interest, the kind of people who can offer color commentary of the “from the sidelines” variety. Get in touch!

Top Seven: Websites

I’ve scoured the internet high and low for some fantastic websites you can spend time on, without feeling like you are missing out on theater stuff during the pandemic.

1. For Podcasts...Broadway Podcast Network

So. Many. Podcasts! That focus specifically on theater, Broadway, and the West End! Did you know that Tim Rice, Donna McKechnie, and Kerry Butler all have podcasts? Listen to them here, along with podcasts on backstage happenings, show-based series, and even some Dungeons and Dragons played by thespians!

2. For Streaming Shakespeare...Globe Player

I am personally having a war with myself to switch from Netflix and Hulu over to subscribing to the Globe’s streaming service. Not only do they have shows in English, but in performed in other languages too! Lithuanian productions of Hamlet with subtitles, a South Korean production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and one of my favorites, Twelfth Night with Stephen Fry as Malvolio and Mark Rylance as Olivia!

3. For Book Box Subscriptions...Dramatists Play Service Book Club

I, again, personally have not used this service. It’s a quarterly (and somewhat pricey) book subscription box, at $34.99 for a box of  seven plays delivered four times a year. I’m not someone who has book box subscriptions, but if I ever become one, it would absolutely be this one.

4. For Brushing Up on Your Shakespeare (Scansion)...Precanned Shakespeare

Are you performing Shakespeare soon and haven’t the faintest idea on how to score your lines? Thank goodness for Precanned Shakespeare! This site, presents each play and sonnet by Shakespeare with each line of verse scanned with syllable notes, indicating where the emphasis in lines and words belongs.

5. For Reading Plays Online...Scribd

If you subscribe to any reading-focused website, it should be Scribd. There are so many nonfiction, fiction, and audiobooks here for your enjoyment. Know what else they have, at the price of $9.99 month for access to everything? Hundreds of plays and musical theater books.

6. For Finding DVDs and CDs of International Shows...eBay

I’ve found a million different cast albums for Wicked, Elisabeth, Tanz der Vampire, and more, that you can’t find on Amazon. There is far more memorabilia from various productions than on Amazon.

7. For Finding DVDs and CDs and Sheet Music and More of International Shows...Sound of Music-Shop

Goodness I love this website. I can’t find sheet music for Die Päpstin anywhere else but here! You can use their advance search to filter shows by country, which streamlines your quest for more international musicals even quicker!

OPEN STARTER - DARIUS TANZ | CBS SALVATION

“Contrary to popular beliefs being shared around here, I do actually work.” He hasn’t missed the muttered complaints from his protégé that he has not helped with the electromagnetic drive issues they’ve been having. But he has bigger fish to fry. So much relies on him completing every single possible plan at the same time so they have the best chances of succeeding. In saving the world from the damn asteroid that will destroy them all. Salvation is still in the early stages of being built but he cannot work on her here. Not when anyone could attempt to access his network. Instead he’s working on new security chips for his private quarters to be given to only the highly trusted. “If it’s not important I’m rather busy.”
