Melanie Maar (AT/US)

in Being and Seeing

Melanie Maar

was born in Vienna, Austria. Her work grows out of exploring intimacy between the phenomenal and the material within performances, group happenings, writings and one-on-one encounters. Growing up in her mother’s Tanzstudio Maar has deeply influenced her own dance learning. Maar was awarded the 2015 Grant to Artists from John Cage’s New York Foundation for Contemporary Art.

Her performance work has been presented in Vienna, Berlin, Mexico City and New York, where she is also teaching and mentoring. Recently she was guest teacher at the faculty for improvisation at Movement Research and The New School. In Vienna she is currently co-curating with Felipe Duque the Entkunstung performance series.

in Being and Seeing

chaos and intellect. sensing and reflecting. oneself and one another.

object and subject. attunement and implicit knowing. nonlinear space and time experience, cooperative making and dissolving …

… is what draws me to dance and its various voices and practices.

This class creates a context and the parameters for dedicated dance people to play with and practice just that.

The movement exercises, dance situations and partner touch scores we will engage in offer to differentiate familiar and unfamiliar relationships between energies, organs, forms, notions and the internal/external realms.

Welcoming diverse body minds into an environment, in which we are continuously readying ourselves for what is happening.
