The Fosbury Flop is a style used in the athletics event of high jump. It was popularized and perfected by American athlete Dick Fosbury, whose gold medal in the 1968 Summer Olympics brought it to the world's attention. Over the next few years the flop became the dominant style of the event and remains so today. Before Fosbury, most elite jumpers used the straddle technique, Western Roll, Eastern cut-off or even scissors jump to clear the bar. Given that landing surfaces had previously been sandpits or low piles of matting, high jumpers of earlier years had to land on their feet or at least land carefully to prevent injury. With the advent of deep foam matting high jumpers were able to be more adventurous in their landing styles and hence experiment with styles of jumping. Canadian high jumper Debbie Brill, then still a preteen, concurrently adopted a similar technique which became known as the "Brill Bend".
The approach (or run-up) in the Flop style of high jump is characterized by (at least) the final four or five steps being run in a curve, allowing the athlete to lean into his or her turn, away from the bar. This allows the center of gravity to be lowered even before knee flexion, giving a longer time period for the take-off thrust. Additionally, on take-off the sudden move from inward lean to outwards produces a rotation of the jumper's body along the axis of the bar, aiding clearance.

The title of our project, "First we take Berlin" refers to the famous song by Leonard Cohen "First we take Manhattan". However, the city "to conquer" will not be New York, the Mecca of global emerging art during the 20th century, but the German capital, attractor pole of the avant-garde European art and culture for some decades.
We are two artists living now in Gran Canaria who have lived for some years in Berlin, producing here much of our artistic work. Since our return to the island, we have been producing an artistic project together, built around the experience of emigration to Germany and the subsequent encounter with the artistic community of the Canary Islands.
The project that we present now talks about the complex relationship that, as artists, we have had with this northern European city, from many points of view: aspirations, disappointments, accomplishments, successes and failures, dismantling of clichés, identity reinforcement, etc.

Get into a squat. A girl teaches you how to twerk. You don’t want to be too low to the ground, just low enough so that you are grounded and nicely balanced. Low enough to pick up the bounty of the earth that serves economic interests. Fruits and vegetables, among other things. Consider keeping your knees behind your toes to avoid knee injury. Twerking is better than shopping. Stand with your legs wide apart, low to the ground, with your feet turned out. The empty desk seems to catch you as an extension of itself. Just ignore it, concentrate on your balance once you start moving. At the same time a half-assembled body is going to take a step forward. This is the most common way to twerk and is the least sexually provocative.
Urlaub projects is pleased to present Shake Your Body!, the first group exhibition of a more extensive series that explores the relationship between the body and its surroundings in the context of contemporary forms of life (lifestyles).
By taking as a title the Michael Jackson song, Shake Your Body! looks at the parallelisms and ruptures among the different representations of the social image of the body. The featured works deal with the rhetoric of bodily fragmentation and its extensions, the culture of health and wellness and the female body as a battleground . All with a certain sense of humor understood as part of “affect” part of the power of a body (individual or collective) to affect or be affected by other bodies.
Have fun and start practicing twerking!
Works by Valentina Utz, Ulrika Segeberg, Fannie Sosa / Marilou Poncin, Christin Kaiser and Sophia Domagala.
