HYBRID: I am A.L.I.E.N.

Quick View What potential lies dormant in the spaces in between?    “HYBRID: I am A.L.I.E.N.“ is an autobiographical solo performance that explores with the search for balance in times of change. It reflects on personal and social upheavals and shows how uncertainty and loss can serve as a basis for creative agency.   The physically challenging floor made of plastic ice, characterized by limited gliding ability and unexpected resistance, becomes a symbol for navigating altered foundations of...

floating interspaces

In the project series ‘floating interspaces’, we – a dancer and a painter – meet at various locations in performative encounters. In site-specific improvisations, we confront the moving handling of the uncertain. Using brushes, paints and ice skates, we explore the potential of movement as a means of communication and expression around the theme of water and ice. Within our encounters, we ignore the familiar and follow our bodies and their movement impulses. Our art forms work alongside, with and...

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...

how strange you are

Quick View   A jolt goes through my body. Tiny. It feels like an earthquake to me. I feel more unstable than ever before. I don't recognize myself. I am trying to regain my sensation. For something that was as natural to me as breathing...     “how strange you are” is a snapshot of my relationship to a synthetic ice floor that promises a lot, but gives me the feeling of having to “learn to walk again”.   The impulse for the creation of the 8-minute short performancewas was a...

Chambers

Quick View What happens when time does not pass, but condenses? When space is not a place, but a state?     “Chambers” is an encounter of dance and deconstructed guitar playing, of closeness, friction, and resonance – fleeting and precise at the same time. Three plastic ice pannels delimit the dance, another frames the musician's field. Movement meets sound, impulse meets echo. In a confined space, a relationship arises – tentative, resistant, resonant. The sound disintegrates and...

When the ice breaks…

A confrontation with cold and my balancing body, with the gain and loss of speed and gravity.   "Fading echoes – almost slipped away from me – physical memories shoot back into my body as if they had never been gone. I can feel my body throwing itself into curves and leaning, against where there is nothing to lean on. Naturally. In deepest basic trust. I can feel the speed it seeks, builds up, enjoys so much. And which now frightens me so much. I can feel every tilt of my body, every powerful...

Capriccio, OP. 55

Stop.Go.Rewind

Quick View Quick View An experiment in gliding motion and acceleration dance. Choreographic explorations in a new space.   How exactly can a dance phrase be transferred onto the ice? What happens when “static” dance movement is superimposed on the gliding motion that ice demands and both are merged? Does movement performed on ice automatically change dance movement into something that glides? How does the audience’s optical perception of dance change in the vastness of the new space provided by...
