designing breath//dance//air – cancelled

Performance Project special with Jan Burkhardt

Air is existential life nourishment, and carrier of the communication in between humans, and also nonhumans. Air surrounds, penetrates, exchanges, designs (and is designed by) body and space.
It is saturated with waves (light, sound, …), tensions (air pressure), and also with atmospheres: measurable and less measurable and yet for everyone graspable movements and states, which also influence every form of performance, and are influenced by such. Movement and voice are always - also - air gestures, breathing always a giving and taking between space and the inner of the body.
How can we be or become audible, visible, experienceable by playing the air? How to be mindful for what is already there, before we take the (air) space, and at the same time take risks to position ourselves with what we bring, what we are? How to concretely manifest things that otherwise keep hanging abstractly in the airless space, and, through this co-conditioning of the air, avoid feelings of powerlessness How to divide, share, vitalize the air and to be vitalized by it, also as immediate element of exchange with an audience?
