Boundaries & Desires

22. & 24. January 2024, 2pm Tanzquartier Wien

A choreographic research with PhD-student David Bloom

Desires and Boundaries, in many manifestations, are issues I’ve been working and playing with for over ten years. In this research, I want to consider the ways in which they arise while making artistic work. Where do they come from? What do we do with them? Are they friends? Allies? Enemies? Lovers? We will work with each other as mirrors of Desire, then expand our awareness to include our Desires towards our work and the world at large. How do we let all of them in, or if we prefer, keep some of them out?

This lab is for anyone who has ever had doubts about their choices while making work.

Part 1 (Monday) focuses on Boundaries, Part 2 (Wednesday) on Desire – the two parts can be attended independently of each other or together. The lab aims to be accessible to all bodies and will be in English, with German possible on request.
