BODYMUSIC
One room, two hours of music, dance to it or not. This concentrated setting is what choreographer Doris Uhlich and DJ Boris Kopeinig propose to move – alone or together – beyond functionalist ideas of dancefloor, to lose oneself in the sound and to find oneself (perhaps differently). Doris Uhlich will kick it off with a short warm-up and give impulses for movement. Then Boris Kopeinig will take over with a live DJ set building on a long preoccupation with ambient, drone, new wave and techno.
DJ music thrives on track selection rather than on mastering smooth transitions. In a present increasingly dominated by streaming services that reduce music to a statistical value in the hunt for lost attention, DJs are challenged more than ever not simply to string pieces together in a technically clean way but to redefine them in the mix and fill them with life. Likewise, dancers are invited not to reproduce stylistically correct moves to a certain kind of music but to find their energetic motivations for movement.

Doris Uhlich has received numerous prizes and awards.
