floating interspaces

With brushes, paints and ice skates we explore processes between standstill and departure around the topic of water and ice. Our work emerges in the change of livelihoods, missing resources and accesses. In site-specific improvisation we open up a mobile of painting and dance. Thereby we search for starting points and strategies for cooperation and sustainable coexistence. We shift this process to changing places and create situations outside our usual frames.   Painting | Performance:         Nancy Görlach Dance...

Moving2Silence

What ist space? What is time? What is the relationship between our body and the universe that surrounds us?   Moving2Silence is an audio-video-object of the encounter of two artists as a confluence of their intentions - in relation to body and movement on the one hand and the creation of meanings through audio and video on the other.   In collaboration with audio and video artist Lorenzo Francesconi, a cinematic journey through contrasts and interactions is created.   Production IceDanceTheater-Fusion...

Blind Date

A relationship mirror without realationship   An emotional game, a projection of hopes, desires, and dreams onto a balloon.   Can an imaginary relationship be brought into motion? Does contact with the object change the gliding movements on the frozen medium, ice? How does the gliding motion change the relationship to the object? Curiosity, play instinct and projection of desire develop a momentum of fluid static gliding and steady acceleration.   Blind Date premiered at the international festival for...
