Accumulations

Residency Programme of the Tanzquartier Wien and KulturKontakt

A three-month residency programme started at the Tanzquartier Wien at the beginning of February with six artists invited – Alexandr Andriyashkin (RU), Filiz Sizanli (TR), An Kaler (A), Willy Prager (BG), Patricia Apergi (GR) and Raimonda Gudaviciute (LT). The starting point of the artistic-discourse research and working project is the concept of accumulation. The exploration of principles and methods in the choreographic process is linked with this as a central motive of the movement composition. At the same time the perspective of accumulation describes a specific understanding of material and cooperation that emphasises individual and artistic cooperation. Still relevant questions of authorship, identity and community as well as the preconditions of a historic and current (dance) historiography formulate themselves on the basis of the most diverse transmission strategies – repetition and quoting, fixing and reformulation of movement material.

During the project and accompanied by the choreographer Milli Bitterli, encounters will be created between the artists in residence and various artists working at the Tanzquartier Wien, an exchange concerning choreographic thinking will be initiated and material and instructions, choreographic "donations", will be exchanged. For further information on this partly public process see regularly our website.

Accumulations takes place in cooperation with KulturKontakt Austria. In cooperation with the embassy of the Republic of Lithuania.
