PROJECT 1 | 25 min

nicht mehr, als alles
Choreography, Performance, Stage, Costume: Sarah Sternat
Live-Muisc: Markus Benjamin Riedler
Mentoring: Andrea Nagl

What do we strive for? Why do we hold on to things? What do we use or waste our energy on? One of the first events we expend energy on immediately after our birth is the instinctive search for the mother's breast. We set our bodies in motion, not yet knowing why we want to go there, but we are magically drawn to it. Our life is determined by the exchange of energy. We preserve, pass on, conserve in order to ensure our material and immaterial continued existence. But what are the consequences when we deviate from holding on to, continuing or preserving things? How do I move on when a body falls into rigidity, power dies, or energy currents break off? In a poetic choreographic exploration, together with Markus Benjamin Riedler, a space that oscillates in a state between order, excessive demand and its dissolution is to be explored.

Sarah Sternat (AT) - Performer, stage designer and set designer. Studied at the University of Applied Arts Vienna in the class for painting, tapestry and animation film. Founding member of the artist collective "Club Fortuna"; various performances, group exhibitions and solo presentations at home and abroad.

Music: Moritz Cizek
Objects: Alina Huber
Mentoring: Bert Gstettner

About burrowing in immensity (under a colorless pink shadow in the firmament).

Laniakea - Hawaiian for "immeasurable sky".

Something and nothingness meet. In trying to define their reality, they suddenly evaporate. Blood, breathing, life - fleetingness of the moment and immediate indication of a reality. Can reality be folded, stretched, bent? How elastic is it and how does a thought taste? What geometry does a dream have? Carla Schuler devotes her project to an attempt to approach the question, what is reality? She designs a performative negotiation between several sections with different perspectives within a (platonic) discourse.

Carla Schuler (AT) - freelance dancer and performer living in Vienna. Studies in physics (completed 2017). Dance, performative collaborations with Andrea Nagl and Nagl~Wintersberger, and the XTHESIS creative company (2010-2013), among others, as well as in her own works with colleagues of different disciplines. Her great interest lies in the philosophical, dance and also scientific approach and understanding of the essence of nature also often through improvisation and putting it in relation to others. She is also currently discovering her joy in teaching dance and encouraging and supporting students in the problem subject of mathematics.

PROJECT 3 | Cancellation of the performance on Dec 4, 2023 at short notice

TIME IS HONEY
Concept, Performance: Ursula Graber
Mentoring: Inge Kaindlstorfer

Photos: Manuel RiederHigher, faster, better: and that in all areas of life. Peak performance of body and mind is promised and expected by self-optimization techniques and enforced by capitalism, which demands constant outdoing. As a result, people are expected to conform to the global market economy and an ideology that helps to legitimize and disguise social inequalities. Self-optimization can be positive - but it can also easily become a delusion, the price of which is stress, depression and burnout. My focus is on the experience of time in the working world with regard to time management and its effects on the body and its movements.

Ursula Graber (AT) - Ursula studied Contemporary Stage Dance and Dance Pedagogy at the Anton Bruckner University Linz and Contemporary Dance with a focus on creation at the University of Performing Arts La Manufacture in Lausanne (CH). She lives and works in Graz and is always active in Catalonia. In her dance performances she deals with themes such as feminism, language and identity. She always looks at her creations from a sociological point of view, they are characterized by humor, sensuality and a strong physicality. She works collectively with different artists to realize her projects.
