"Through my more than 30 years long experience as a dancer, choreographer and producer, I’m offering my artistic guidance to a younger generation of dance-artists and accompany their development and future positioning. As a friendly accompanying counterpart to them, I will stand by them in their individual artistic processes. By opening up the Tanz*Hotel home base, with its studios, production office, library, costume fund and other resources, I offer an exciting and helpful environment for residing artists."

"As a mentor I want to be an empathetic companion and conversation partner at eye level with the artist. According to the Socratic 'midwifery method' I want to create a space, where my counterparts can find their own way of realization - while respect for their ideas, style and goals is always the focus of attention."
Andrea Nagl works as a freelance dancer, teacher and choreographer as well as Cranio Sacral Practitioner in Vienna. Collaboration with numerous companies (especially Tanz*Hotel/Bert Gstettner and Cie Smafu/Elisabeth Orlowsky), intensive cooperation with media artist Markus Wintersberger and composer Karlheinz Essl. The most important source of inspiration for her artistic work is nature and the relationship between the human body and the natural environment.

"I see my role as a mentor and facilitator as creating a space for rigorous artistic inquiry, where dancers and performers can critically examine their creative processes, challenge assumptions, and expand their ways of thinking and making. Drawing on my multidisciplinary background, including cognitive science, I aim to support participants through reflective dialogue and experimentation, helping them develop their own insights while remaining attentive to the complex relationships between perception, embodiment, creativity, and artistic practice."
imani rameses works within the fields of cognitive neuroscience, choreography and andragogy. rameses is a PhD candidate at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna, where she looks at the concept of bio-mythois, as it pertains to sight specific sites, and new neuro-anatomies of the eye. rameses has shown/performed work at ImPulsTanz, Wiener Festwochen, TQW, Digital Arts & Science - Zurich, Society for Artistic Research (SAR), and has presented her research at Harvard University, University of Zurich, and University of Johannesburg.

"I perceive artistic processes as a series of attempts fueled by dynamic information flows emerging from our extended environment and diverse temporalities. During AAR, I find it stimulating to explore how mentoring can function as a resonance chamber where these flows are expressed, echoed, and amplified. One of the most captivating aspects for me is delving into the concept of listening and examining how it can be employed as a feedback practice in the studio in multifaceted ways."
