(Im)mobility Salon #1: Institute of Rest(s) meets Tanzfabrik
Daily Open Session with guests
by
Alix Eynaudi
The ongoing series of «(Im)mobility Salons» by Alix Eynaudi is part of the «Institute of Rest(s)» project, a long-term research project by the choreographer on how to interrupt productivity through dance and rethink its community-creating spaces.. Organised as a space of collective studies, the salon will run over 4 days between 3-6pm. All sessions are open to the public.
«(Im)mobility Salon #1» is not an event but an organisation of and invitation to rest in collective studies, with many. It is a longing to turn a choreographic inquiry into dreams of open-ended rehearsals of suspensions.
In Tanzfabrik Berlin «(Im)mobility Salon #1» is plotting encounters with Paula Caspão (writer, lecturer at the University of Lisbon Portugal/France), Emma Bigé (writer, dance practitioner, philosopher France), Ujjwal Kanishka Utkarsh (film maker, India/Austria), Yves Mettler (visual artist, Germany/Switzerland), Clementine Burnley (poet, Cameroun/Scottland/Germany)

↪ FURTHER BIOGRAPHIES
Born in Cameroon Clementine Burnley now lives and works between the U.K. and Germany. She has an MSc in Applied Linguistics from Manchester University and is a part-time, practice-based student at the Research Society for Process Oriented Psychotherapy – RSPOP, studying large group facilitation and conflict mediation. Her poems have been published in Ink, Sweat & Tears, Magma, and The Poetry Review.
Emma Bigé studies, writes, translates, curates, and improvises between the fields of dance, transfeminist and environmental studies. Co-editor of anthologies on improvisation and author of Mouvementements. Écopolitiques de la danse (La Découverte, 2023), she is currently working with trans* & ecological studies, translating queer theorists and writers (Jack Halberstam, Sara Ahmed, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Eva Hayward a.o.), and preparing two books on ecosex theory and transecofeminism.
Ujjwal Utkarsh Kanishka is a Phd-in-Practice candidate at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna. He has been trying to develop a form that emerges out of the observational cinema tradition and he continues to do that through his PhD project. Ujjwal primarily makes films while frequently dabbling into other forms like photography, sound and theater. He has also been a faculty of various aspects of filmmaking in several institutes across India.
Yves Mettler 's work aims at building a sense for today’s global urbanisation processes. The works present a narrative fabric, giving the urban environment a polyphonic, emotional, and often humourous, expression. Since 2002 he develops a research & art practice around urban places called “Europe square”, cultivating the spaces between urban reality and symbolic values. His works have been shown i.e. at Kaunas Biennal (2021), Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin (2017), Bozar, Brussels (2016).
Paula Caspão experiments with cine-fabulation practices to interrogate the forms of extractivism and socioenvironmental devastation implicated in the production of knowledge and history, as well as in the maintenance of their institutions, technologies and political fictions. She is a researcher at the Centre for Theatre Studies and the Institute for Contemporary History, and a guest lecturer at the University of Lisbon. She holds a PhD in philosophy, University of Paris-Nanterre (2010) and was an invited scholar at the Performance Studies - New York University (2018).
